The MODE: command path is used to get to the MPS−8033’s display control commands.

The following commands can be reached directly from the MODE: command path.

MODE:DB

MODE:DB?

MODE:DBM

MODE:DBM?

MODE:Watt

MODE:Watt?

The MODE:DB command activates the dB display mode.  The dB scale is defined as decibels from 
a user defined reference power (See the LAS:REF command).

Parameters

None.

Notes

This command has the same effect as repeatedly pressing the 

DISPLAY

 switch on the 8033 front 

panel until the 

dB

 indicator is lit.

This command effects the display only.  It has no effect on the output power.
When the output is off the ’setpoint’ or desired power is displayed.  When the output is turned on the 
actual measured power is displayed.

Examples

"

MODE:DB

" action:  Sets the display mode to the decibels (dB) scale.

The MODE:DB? query returns the status of the DISPLAY mode switch with regard to the dB scale.

Parameters

None.

Response

The response of 1 means the dB scale is selected, and 0 means the dB scale is not selected.

Notes

In local operation, the status of the dB display mode is determined by visualizing the 

dB

 LED 

indicator.
When the output is off the ’setpoint’ or desired power is displayed.  When the output is turned on the 
actual measured power is displayed.

Examples

"

MODE:DB?

"

response: 1, means the dB display mode is selected.

"

MODE:DB?

"

response: 0, means the dB display mode is not selected.
