Making Measurements
Example 6 - Making a Ratio Measurement
The following program segment can be carried out on the HP EPM-442A.
It queries the lower window to make a ratio measurement of channel A/B.
The expected power level and resolution parameters are defaulted, leaving
them at their current settings. Some fine tuning of the measurement is
carried out by setting the averaging.

sent to make a channel B - channel A ratio measurement using fresh
measurement data.)
