command: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:MONitor?
syntax: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:MONitor?
description: Returns the monitor diode data array for the last data acquisition function.
parameters: none
response: The last data acquisition function's data array as a binary block.
For Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions, one measurement value is a 4-byte-long float in Intel byte order.
For the MinMax Data Acquisition function, the query returns the minimum, maximum and current power values.

use float format specifiers to convert the binary blocks into float values.
If you use LabView or Keysight VEE, we recommend using the Keysight 816x VXIplug&play Instrument Driver to perform the
Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions.
example: sens1:func:res:mon? ->
returns a data array for Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions
sens1:func:res? -> #255
Min: 7.24079E-04, Max: 7.24252E-04, Act: 7.24155E-04
returns the minimum, maximum and current power values for the MinMax Data Acquisition function
affects: All return loss modules
dual sensors: Master and slave channels are independent.
Return Loss modules:
For Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions, the data array contains power
values for the monitor diode.
For the MinMax Data Acquisition function, the data array contains return loss values for the monitor diode.
