Product-Specific Commands—Description

:READ[1..n][:SCALar]:POWer:DC?

Description

With this query, a measurement value is stored 

and returned.

To read a specific channel, enter the channel 

number as a suffix of the READ keyword.  The 

maximum channel is device-dependent.  

Channel 1 is always used by default.

Syntax

:READ[1..n][:SCALar]:POWer:DC?

Parameter(s)

None

Response Syntax

<PowerMeasurement>

Response(s)

PowerMeasurement: 

The response data syntax for 

<PowerMeasurement> is defined as a <NR3 

NUMERIC RESPONSE DATA> element. 

This query returns the current power.

If the returned value is:

9221120237577961472, power is under range

9221120238114832384, power is over range

9221120238651703296, power is invalid

9221120239188574208, channel is inactive
