Besides the average power, the power sensor can measure additional measurands like
minimum, maximum or random. These additional measurands are denoted as auxiliary
measurands and are selected by
A trace measurement can deliver up to 3
measurands. Therefore, the resulting block of
data returned can contain up to 3
blocks of user data.
Basically, the response represents a "definite length arbitrary block response data" as
defined in IEEE488.2. This object consists of a header and content.

Starting character
n
Single digit that defines how many of the following digits are interpreted as the size of
the content.
LLLLL
Number consisting of as many digits as specified by "n". This number gives the size
of the content.
User data content
. As many bytes as specified by "LLLLL".
<LF>
Single linefeed character
Examples
The arbitrary block response data for a user data that contains 45182 bytes is:
#545182xxxxxx.......xxxxxx <LF>
The arbitrary block response data for a user data content
'THIS IS A TEST'
is:
#214THIS IS A TEST<LF>
Explanation:
'THIS IS A TEST'
has 14 bytes, and '14' has 2 digits, hence the
#214
User data content
In the further description, the term "user data content" is used for the totality of the con-
tained measurement results.
In the user data content, there are similar mechanisms as with arbitrary block response
data. As indicated above, the user data content can have one or more blocks with
trace measurement results, depending on the selection of auxiliary measurands. Each
section is composed of:
