Sensor Model Identification
A simple method of separating the manufacturer sub-string from the three following numeric items
requires reading the manufacturer alphabetical letters into a string variable of limited size. Use a DIM or
a REDIM statement to limit size to 12 characters. Thus Model and Software Version can easily be read
into numeric variables. No is always 0; it is placed in the *IDN? command output as called for by the
IEEE 488.2 Standard. The 58542 can not report it’s serial number - which is printed on a label
positioned on the side of the instrument - over the bus. If preferred, there is space on the 58542’s front
panel for the serial number label. The factory will place it there upon request.
The following example reads the model number and serial number of the power sensor currently in use.
What does currently in use mean? It means that this was the last sensor connected to this meter input. It
does not mean that the sensor is currently attached or that the sensor is calibrated. For in-program
checking for sensor attachment or completed power sweep calibration, see the Error Control Examples
in Section A.3.3 or the Reading Power Measurements in Section A.4. By operating in this manner, if
preferred use a simple WHILE/UNTIL loop in the program to detect when the operator connects the
correct power sensor.
Tracking the model number allows the user to be sure that a sensor is being used which is appropriate for
measurement application. For example, some user measurement routines may require the use of Peak
Power Sensors rather than CW Power Sensor or use of high power sensors rather than standard sensors.
The user’s program can automatically check for the appropriate sensor and prompt to
