Measurement Functions – The
SENSe Subsystem
The SENSe subsystem lets you control measurement parameters for a Power
Sensor, an Optical Head Interface module, or a return loss module.
HP 81635A and HP 81619A- Master and
Slave Channels
For the HP 81635A Dual Power Sensor and HP 81619A Dual Optical Head
Interface module, channel 1 is the master channel and channel 2 is the slave
channel. The master and slave channels share the same software and hardware
triggering system. For some commands, setting parameters for the master channel
sets the parameters for the slave channel. In these cases, you may only set
parameters for the slave channel by setting master channel parameters.
The commands listed in Table 5 can only be configured using the master channel.
The commands listed in Table 6 are independent for both master and slave
channels.
