2. Select the data collection conditions
In addition to the trigger features, a subset of the collected data can be selected for use
in power computations using IGNORE, LENGTH, and AVERAGE values.
NOTE: The IGNORE value is valid only for the Internal amplitude trigger or the External trigger.
a. Use the following command string to define the number of measurement samples
(ranging from 3 to 3200) (12.5
µ
s/sample) to ignore after the trigger conditions
have been satisfied.
To the PCS Interface> TX:INP:POW:PDET:SAMP:IGN <desired num-
ber> ( page 117 )
b. Use the following command string to define the number of samples to collect
(ranging from 1 to 4800) in the measurement after trigger conditions and IGNORE
samples have been satisfied.
To the PCS Interface> TX:INP:POW:PDET:SAMP:LENG <desired num-
ber> ( page 117 )
c. Use the following command string to define the number of bursts (ranging from 1
to 10) to include in the power measurement. IGNORE and LENGTH conditions
will be applied to each burst.

ber> ( page 116 )
