[SENSe[1]:]CORRection:DCYCle|GAIN3[:INPut][:MAGNitude]
<numeric_value>
This command is used to set the duty cycle for the pulse power measurement
feature of the N432A. Pulse power measurements average out any deviations in
the pulse, such as, overshoot or ringing. The result returned for a pulse power
measurement is a mathematical representation of the pulse power rather than an
actual measurement. The N432A measures the average power in the pulsed input
signal and then divides the result by the duty cycle value to obtain a pulse power
reading.
Entering a value using this command automatically turns the
[SENSe[1]:]CORRection:DCYCle|GAIN3:STATe command to ON.
Pulse power averages out any deviations in the pulse such as overshoot or
NOTE
ringing. Hence, it is called pulse power and not peak power or peak pulse power.
To ensure accurate pulse power readings, the input signal must be pulsed with a
rectangular pulse. Other pulse shapes (such as triangle, chirp, or Gaussian) will
cause incorrect results.
The pulse power on/off ratio must be much greater than the duty cycle ratio.
