Programming a Thermal Power Measurement

Programming Example

10 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WTPower:CONTinuous Off"!Set the thermal power
20
30 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WTPower:TIMeout 2S"!Set a timeout value of 2 secondS
40
50 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WTPower:COUNt 5"!Set multi-measurements to 5 and
60
70 OUTPUT 714;"INITiate:WTPower"!Start the measurement.
80 OUTPUT 714;"FETCh:WTPower?"!Query the returned integrity indicator and the
90
100 ENTER 714;Integrity,Wtpower!Enter the returned values into variables.
110 IF Integrity<>0 THEN !Integrity <> 0 indicates an
120 PRINT "Measurement problem; check for signal level over/under range condition."
130 ELSE
140 END IF
150 END

Returned Values

• Integrity stores the returned integrity indicator value (see
measurement with no errors.
• Because multi-measurements are being used in this example, Wtpower stores the returned average thermal
power measurement value in dBm. If multi-measurements were not being used, the returned value would
be a single thermal power measurement value.
