Using The Usb Pass Through Commands; Procedure - Keysight Technologies N5171B EXG User Manual

Using the USB Pass Through Commands

The USB pass through SCPI commands are used remotely and or to program your system setup
and power meter sensor setup.
This section applies to the following USB power sensors:
— U2040 X-Series
— U2020 X-Series
— U8480 Series
— U2000 Series
—
If the power sensor is configured to return peak power, then the MXG
displays peak power (i.e., Use the
SCPI commands, which returns a value based on the configuration). Refer
to the X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference.
