Querying substates
The main measurement state and the substates can be queried using
FETCh:<FWA>:<context>:STATe:ALL?
where
<FWA>
denotes the firmware appli-
cation and
<context>
is to be replaced by the name of the measurement.
Example
:
FETCh:GPRF:MEAS<i>:POWer:STATe:ALL?
(possible response: RUN,
ADJ, ACT).

Statistical Settings
Measurements generally cover a basic time interval and can be repeated periodically.
The measurement interval depends on the measurement context.
The number of measurement intervals that the R&S CMW500 repeats in order to calcu-
late statistical results is termed "statistic count" (multi-measurement count). After one
statistic count, the instrument has terminated a basic measurement cycle ("single-shot"
measurement). Measurement cycles can be repeated for an unlimited number of times,
resulting in the "continuous" repetition mode.
Most measurement contexts provide different sets of measurement results (single/scalar
values and traces) corresponding to the current measurement interval, and the maximum,
minimum, and average over a number of consecutive measurement intervals (see section
). In remote control these statistical results can be retrieved independ-
ently.
Statistic Count
Integer number of measurement intervals per measurement cycle (single-shot measure-
ment). The statistic count can be set independently for any measurement context or view;

Measurement Contexts and Views
CONFigure:<FWA>:<Context>:SCOunt:<View> <Count>
e.g.
CONFigure:WIMax:MEASurement:MEValuation:SCOunt 10
(sets the statistic count for WiMAX "Multi Evaluation" measurements).
Repetition Mode
Single-shot
: The measurement is stopped after the number of measurement intervals
defined by the "statistic count".
Continuous
: The measurement is continued until it is stopped explicitly. Average results
are calculated according to the rules given in section
.
