:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]POWer:REFerence:STATe:RATio<wsp>
<slot number>|255|TOREF,<channel number>
Selects the reference for the module.
slot number: an integer value representing the slot number you want to
reference
results are displayed relative to an absolute reference
255 or TOREF:
an integer value representing the channel number you
channel number:
want to reference
If you want to reference another power sensor channel, use an integer
value corresponding to the slot for the first parameter and an integer
value corresponding to the channel for the second value.
If you want to use an absolute reference, use TOREF as the first
parameter and any integer value as the second parameter.
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]:POWer:REFerence:STATe:RATio?
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]POWer:REFerence:STATe:RATio?
Returns the reference setting for the module.
none
results are displayed relative to an absolute reference or to the current power
reading from another channel.
