:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?
Returns the data array of the last data acquisition function.
none
The last data acquisition function's data array as a binary block, one measurement value
is a 4-byte-long float in Intel byte order.
→ returns a data array
sens1:func:res?
All power meters and return loss modules
Master and slave channels are independent.
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe<wsp>
LOGGing|STABility|MINMax,STOP|STARt
Enables/Disables the logging, MinMax, or stability data acquisition function mode.

MINMax:
STOP:
STARt:
When you enable a logging data acquisition function for a HP 8163A Series Power Meter
with averaging time of less than 100 ms with input hardware triggering disabled, all GPIB
commands will be ignored for the duration of the function.
See ":SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing" on page 74 for more
information on the logging data acquisition function.
Stop any function before you try to set up a new function. Some parameters cannot be set
until you stop the function.
none
sens1:func:stat logg,star
All power meters and return loss modules
Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe?
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe?
Returns the function mode and the status of the data acquisition function.
none
