source list
[a] The mnemonic DEF means DEFault. This is not equivalent to the DEFault parameter used in the command sub-systems. The parameters must
be entered in the specified order. If parameters are omitted, they default from the right. The parameter DEFault is used as a place holder.
Specifying DEF leaves the parameter value unchanged.
[b] When the measurement result is linear this parameter represents the number of significant digits. When the measurement result is
logarithmic 1 to 4 represents of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively.

Error Messages
– INITiate:CONTinuous must be set to OFF, otherwise error –213, "INIT ignored"
– If TRIGger:SOURce is set to BUS or HOLD, error –214, "Trigger deadlock" occurs.
– If the expected value and resolution parameters are not the same as the
160
Description/Defaul t
The expected power level parameter can be set to DEF or a
numeric value. If a value is entered it should correspond to
that set by CONFigure otherwise an error occurs.
A numeric value for the resolution. If it is unspecified the
current resolution setting is used. If a value is entered it
should correspond to the current resolution setting
otherwise an error occurs.
The channel which the command is implemented on.
If unspecified the current window setup is used. However, if
the window shows a ratio or difference measurement, the
upper window defaults to Channel A and the lower window
to Channel B.
occurs.
current expected value and resolution settings on the specified window, error
–221, "Settings conflict" occurs.
This command queries the lower window/
upper measurement.
