:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
Returns the range setting for the module. For a return loss module, returns the power range
of the return loss diode.
none
The range setting as a float value in dBm
(−110 ≤ value ≤ +30).

sens1:pow:rang? -2.00000000E+001<END>
All power meters and return loss modules.
Master and slave channels are independent.
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]<wsp><value>[DBM]
Sets the power range for a retun loss module's monitor diode.
The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear measurements
(measurements in Watts) is given below:
Range Upper Linear
Power Limit
+30 dBm 1999.9 mW
+20 dBm 199.99 mW
+10 dBm 19.999 mW

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.
