Operating Manual 1407.0806.32 ─ 21
The remote measurement is triggered by the READ query (command
on page 317) which also provides the measurement results. The local state
is not influenced by this command, measurements results can be retrieved with local
state on or off.
Parameters:
<Continuous>
0 | 1 | OFF | ON
*RST:
OFF
Example:
INIT:CONT ON
switches local state of continuous power measurement on.
Manual operation:
See
:READ<ch>[: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 command, 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.
