:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:REFerence<wsp>
TOMODule|TOREF,<value>PW|NW|UW|MW|Watt|DBM|DB|MDB
Sets the sensor reference value.
TOMODule: Sets the reference value in dB used if you choose measurement rela-
tive to another channel
TOREF: Sets the reference value in Watts or dBm if you choose measurement
relative to a constant reference value
The reference as a float value.
You must append a unit type
• dB if you use TOMODule or
• Watts or dBm if you use TOREF.
The two reference values are completely independent. When you change the
reference mode using the command
":SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:REFerence:STATe:RATio" on page 107, the
instrument uses the last reference value entered for the selected reference mode.

:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:REFerence?
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:REFerence?<wsp>TOMODule|TOREF
Returns the sensor reference value.
TOMODule: Returns the reference value in dB used if you choose measurement rel-
ative to another channel
TOREF: Returns the reference value in Watts or dBm if you choose measure-
ment relative to a constant reference value
The reference as a float value.
