When you enable a logging data acquisition function for a Agilent 8163A/B 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 94 for more infor-
