Command Description R&S SMC100A
1411.4060.32 6.24 E-1
INITiate[POWer]:CONTinuous ON | OFF
The command switches the local state of the continuous power measurement by the R&S NRP-Zxx
power sensors on and off. Switching the local state off enhances the measurement performance
during remote control
Example:
INIT:CONT ON
'switches local state of continuous power measurement on.
*RST value Resolution SCPI
OFF - Device specific
READ[:POWer]?
The command triggers the measurement with power sensors and provides the power measurement
result of the selected power sensor. The value is provided with the unit set with command
SENSe:UNIT[:POWer].
For certain power sensors, e.g. R&S NRP-Z81, two values are returned, first the value for the
average level and - separated by a comma - the peak level.
Note:
The local state is not influenced by this commands, measurements results can be retrieved with
local state on or off. For long measurement times it is recommended to use a SRQ (MAV bit) for
command synchronization.
The command is a query command and therefore has no *RST value.
Example:
SENS:UNIT DBM
'selects unit dBm for presentation of measurement result.
READ?
'queries the measurement result of the sensor.
Response: -45.6246576745440230
'-45.6 dBm were measured at the given frequency.
or (e.g. for R&S NRP-Z81)
Response: -55.62403263352178,-22.419472478812476
'-55,6 dbm is the measured average level, -22. 4 dBm is the measured peak
level at the given frequency

- - Device specific
SENSe[:POWer]:CORRection:SPDevice:STATe ON | OFF
The command activates the use of the s-parameters correction data of the power sensor.
Example:
SENS:CORR:SPD:STAT ON
'activates the use of the s-parameters correction data of the power sensor.
*RST value Resolution Dependencies SCPI
OFF -
For power sensor with attenuator this command is
automatically set to ON.
