When you enable a logging data acquisition function for a 8163A/B Series Power Meter with averaging time of less than
100 ms with input hardware triggering disabled, all GPIB commands will be ignored for the duration of the function.
See
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing
on page 97 for more information on the
logging data acquisition function.
Stop any function before you try to set up a new function. Some parameters cannot be set until you stop the function.
