command: :FETCh[n][:CHANnel[m]][:SCAlar]:MONitor?
syntax: :FETCh[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:SCAlar]:MONitor?
description: Reads current power value at a return loss module's monitor diode (forward path). It does not provide its own triggering and
so must be used with either continuous software triggering (see
page 91) or a directly preceding immediate software trigger (see
page 89).
It returns the monitor value the previous software trigger measured. Any subsequent FETCh command will return the same
value, if there is no subsequent software trigger.
parameters: none
response: The current value as a float value in W or dBm.
example: fetc1:mon?
affects: All return loss modules
command: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:IMMed iate]
syntax: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]][:IMMediate]
description: Initiates the software trigger system and completes one full trigger cycle, that is, one measurement is made.
parameters: none
response: none
example: init
affects: All power meters, return loss modules.
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
command: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:CONTinuous
syntax: :INITiate[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:CONTinuous<wsp><boolean>
description: Sets the software trigger system to continuous measurement mode.
parameters: A boolean value:
response: none
