Making Measurement; Table 1-1 Measure? And Configure Preset States - Keysight Technologies P Series Programming Manual

Making Measurement

The MEASure? and CONFigure commands provide a straight-forward method to
program the power meter for measurements. You can select the measurement's
expected power level, resolution and with the N8262A the measurement type
(that is single channel, difference or ratio measurements) all in one command. The
power meter automatically presets other measurement parameters to default
values as shown in

An alternative method to program the power meter is to use the lower level
commands. The advantage of using the lower level commands over the
CONFigure command is that they give you more precise control of the power
meter. As shown in
the power meter. It may be likely that you do not want to preset these states.
