Step 3: Set Measurement Parameters

In this step you set up measurement parameters. This configures the measurements so that they are ready to
execute in"Step 5: INITiate and FETCh Measurements" on page
Many of the measurements have only generic measurement parameters available, such as measurement
count, timeout, trigger arm and trigger source.
There is a command available to set all measurement triggers to single (SET:CONT:OFF), which is the
recommended trigger arm configuration for remote use of the test set. However, if you sent the *RST command
in "Step 1: Set Up the Test Set" on page
Some measurements have measurement-specific parameters available. Consult the programming reference
material available on the Internet to find out more about measurement-specific parameters.

Programming Example

830 ! Set all measurement triggers to single
840 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:CONT:OFF"
850 ! Set up the Thermal Power measurement
860 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WTP:TIM 7;COUN 1"
870 ! Set up the Channel Power measurement
880 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WCP:TIM 7;COUN 1"
890 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WCP:INT:TIME .667 MS"
900 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WCP:FILT ON" ! Turn the RRC filter on
910 ! Set up the Waveform Quality measurement
920 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WWQ:TIM 7;COUN 1;TSL 1"
930 ! Set up the ACLR measurement
940 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WACL:TIM 7;COUN 1"
950 ! Set up the Loopback BER measurement
960 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WBER:TIM 7;COUN 10000"
970 ! Set up the Occupied Bandwidth measurement
980 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WOBW:TIM 7;COUN 1"
990 ! Set up the Spectrum Emission Mask measurement
1000 OUTPUT Testset;"SET:WSEM:TIM 7;COUN 1"
96, all measurement triggers will already be set to single.
