Reading Power Measurements
FETCh?
MEASure?
READ?
These commands return measurement data from the 8650B. During Normal mode the data will be single
measurement values. During GPIB Swift or GPIB Burst modes, the data will be an array of values. Generally, it is
a single array if one sensor is connected and calibrated and a dual array if two sensors are connected and
calibrated.
FETCh?
Syntax:
FETCh<channel 1 to 4>? or FETCh?
Example:
FETC2?
! READS PREVIOUSLY TRIGGERED CHANNEL 2 POWER
! NORMAL MODE DATA
Example 2:
FETC?
! READS PREVIOUSLY TRIGGERED CHANNEL 1 AND/OR 2 DATA ARRAY
! SWIFT OR BURST MODE DATA
Response:
Whatever is in the output buffer whether it is a new measurement or an old one.
Description:
The FETCh? query command returns post-processed measurement data from the active
channels of the 8650B. After receiving FETCh? the 8650B will output the contents of its active
data output buffer.
The data size and output format of the buffer are dependent upon channel and measurement
mode configuration. FETCh#?, in NORMal mode, is used for reading single specified-channel
measurements. FETCh?, in GPIB BURSt or GPIB SWIFt mode, is used for reading channel 1
and/or channel 2 multi-element array data from the meter’s data buffer.
For example, if channel 1 is defined as Sensor 1 and channel 2 is defined as Sensor 2 then:
In NORMal mode, the FETCh1? query command will return the power level incident upon
Sensor 1 and the FETCh2? query command will return the power level incident upon Sensor 2.
In SWIFt mode, with TRIG:COUNt1, the FETCh? query command will return a two-element
data array composed of the power level incident upon Sensor 1 followed by the power level
incident upon Sensor 2.
MEASure?
Syntax:
MEASure<channel 1 to 4>[:SCALar:POWer]?
Example:
MEAS2?
! ARMS, TRIGGERS, AND MEASURES CHANNEL 2 POWER
! IN NORMAL MODE
Response:
A power measurement.
Description:
The MEAS#? query command arms, triggers, and returns measured data from the specified
active software calculation channel of the 8650B all in one command. When MEAS#? is
queried, the system will initiate then immediately trigger the measurement of the specified
channel and the data will be transmitted from the power meter to the controller. This is in
contrast to the FETCh#? query command, which is capable of causing immediate output of the
measurement data but not initiating the triggering cycle. The MEAS#? query command
automatically switches the specified channel to Auto Averaging mode during measurement
regardless of the initial Averaging settings.
