Parameters:
<PmtrName>
Name of the external power meter (string parameter). An empty
string means that no particular name is assigned to the power
meter.
<Driver>
Power meter type (string parameter). The power meter type is
identical with the name of the power meter driver file (
*.pwm
)
stored in the
resources\extdev
subdirectory of the analyz-
er's program directory. Type the driver file name as shown in the
"Add External Powermeter" dialog, i.e. without the file extension
"
.pwm
" (example: use '
NRVD
', if the corresponding driver file
name is
NRVD.pwm
).
Alternative:
The '<Driver>' string can also contain the power
meter driver file name with its complete path, e.g. '
C:\Program
Files\Rohde-Schwarz\Vector Network
Analyzer\ZNA\resources\extdev\nrvd.pwm
'.
<Interface>
Interface type (string parameter):
'VXI-11'
,
'socket'
,
'GPIB0'
, ...,
'GPIB9'
,
Raw Serial
(for VDI Erickson power
meters PMx),
'other'
<Address>
Interface address (string parameter), depending on the interface
type. See
<SensorId>
This optional string parameter is used for power meters that can
control several power sensors, such as the R&S
NRP2. By
specifying the suitable <SensorId> you can address the related
power sensor.
The R&S
NRP2, for example, has four power sensor connec-
tors, Sensor
A to Sensor
D. By specifying
'A'
,
'B'
,
'C'
or
'D'
, you can take control over the power sensor that is attached
to this connector.
Example:
SYST:COMM:RDEV:PMET:CONF:AUTO OFF
Disables "Auto Config NRP-Zxx" (if it was enabled previously).
SYST:COMM:RDEV:PMET1:DEF 'USB Power Meter',
'NRP-Z55', 'usb', '100045'
Configure an R&S NRP power meter as external power meter
no. 1, assigning the name "USB Power Meter" and a serial num-
ber 100045.
SYST:COMM:RDEV:PMET:DEL
Clear the power meter configuration table.
SYST:COMM:RDEV:PMET:DEF?
Query the power meter configuration. The analyzer returns an
error message because the power meter no. 1 is no longer con-
figured.
