<trigger offset>
Offset between the detection of the trigger signal and the start of the measurement.
The range is from 125 ns to 100s
<type of meas>
Determines whether mean power (RMS) or peak power (PEAK) is to be measured.
The detector is selected accordingly. Possible values are MEAN and PEAK.
<# of meas>
Number of individual bursts to be measured. The range is 1 to 625.
Return value: The query command returns a list separated by commas (comma separated values
= CSV), which contains the power measurement results in floating-point format.
The unit used for the return values is always dBm.
The command
"SENSe:MPOWer? 935.2MHz,1MHz,434us,VIDEO,50PCT,5us,MEAN,20"
may, for instance, cause the following list to be returned:
18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9,18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9,18.3,18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9,18.3,
18.6,18.1,18.0,17.9
Example:
"SENSe:MPOWer 935.2MHz,1MHz,434us,VIDEO,50PCT,5us,MEAN,20"
'performs a measurement sequence with the following settings:
'Frequency = 935.2 MHz,
'Resolution bandwidth = 1 MHz
'Measurement time = 434 µs
'Trigger source = VIDEO
'Trigger threshold = 50%
'Trigger offset = 5 µs
'Type of measurement = MEAN power
'No. of measurements = 20
"SENSe:MPOWer? 935.2MHz,1MHz,434us,VIDEO,50PCT,5us,MEAN,20"
'performs the same measurement and in addition returns the results list
immediately after completion of the last measurement.
To properly use this command, you have to specify the unit of the trigger level
(DBM or PCT).
