Returns the averaging time for the module.
none
The averaging time as a float value in seconds.

All power meters and return loss modules
Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]<wsp><value>[DBM]
Sets the power range for the module. For a return loss module, sets the power range of the
return loss diode.
The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear measurements
(measurements in Watts) is given below:
Range Upper Linear

The range as a float value in dBm. The number is rounded to the closest multiple of 10, be-
cause the range changes at 10 dBm intervals. Units are in dBm.
