[SENSe] Subsystem

The SENSe command subsystem directly affects device specific settings used to

make measurements. The SENSe subsystem is optional since this is the primary

function of the power meter. The high level command CONFigure uses the SENSe

commands to prepare the p ower meter for making measurements. At a lower

level SENSe enables you to change the following parameters: RANGe, FREQuency,

LOSS, CFACator|GAIN1 (calibration factor), GAIN2 (channel offset), DCYCle (duty

cycle) and AVERage, without completely re-configuring the power meter.

The SENSe command subsystem also allows you to select the measurement

speed, a sensor calibration table, and a frequency dependent offset table.

The numeric suffix of the SENSe program mnemonic in the SENSe commands refers

to a channel, that is SENSe1 and SENSe2 represent Channel A and Channel B

respectively.

If you are using the single channel N1911A power meter the SENSe2 commands

are irrelevant and cause the error "Header suffix out of range."
