Reading the Min/Max Values
Min/Max values are read over the bus using simple commands consisting of one of two function codes:
Syntax:
[MIN or MAX]
MIN reads the current minimum value stored by the Min/Max function
MAX reads the current maximum value stored by the Min/Max function
Example:
MIN
! READS THE MINIMUM MEASURED VALUE
Example 2:
MAX
! READS THE MAXIMUM MEASURED VALUE
The Min/Max feature monitors the minimum and maximum powers as they are measured and displayed on the
front panel. Transient drop-outs or spikes in the power may not be captured by this feature. If it is necessary to
examine transient or unusual events, the triggering capability of the peak power sensor, the fast measurement
modes, or the Peak Hold feature may provide a better way to characterize the signal in question. The Min/Max
feature monitors for the minimum and maximum power, but does not provide any feedback to the controller
until a MIN or MAX command is received. To monitor for a limit violation, the Limits feature may be more useful
(See Section 3.15).
The Min/Max feature returns the current stored Min/Max values as displayed on the front panel. A MIN or MAX
commands does not initiate data collection in same manner as a trigger command, such as TR1. To get a good
reading of Min/Max values, the procedure is:
1.
Set up the signal being measured, and send MN1 to reset the Min/Max measurements.
2.
Send TR2.
3.
Read the TR2 data, or wait for the data ready service request (this allows for settling).
4.
Send MIN or MAX.
5.
Read the Min or Max value.
3.19.5
Offset Commands
Power offsets (in dB) can be specified, in order to provide a fixed correction for loss or gain in the test setup.
Offsets are specific to an individual sensor not a channel. The offset is added to, not a replacement of, the
sensor’s cal factors. All measurement data returned by the 8650B over the bus is corrected for the offset that
has been specified (even in the fast measurement collection modes).
Be careful with offsets when using the analog outputs. The offset value is reflected in the analog output voltage.
A change in the offset value may result in a measurement which is outside of the power range represented by
the voltage range of the analog output.
