Set Cell Power
To set the output power of the test set, use the following command:
Command to Set Cell Power
Command
CALL:POW <num value>
• Active Cell and Test Mode Considerations
You can use the CALL:POW command to set the cell power in both active cell and test mode. However, in
test mode you may prefer to manually control the output power of the test set using the CALL:RFG
commands.
Set Mobile Station Transmit Power
In active cell mode, use one of the following commands to set the mobile station transmit power level
(depending upon which test application you are using):
Commands to Set Mobile Station Transmit Power
Command
CALL:MS:TXL:<band mnemonic> <num
value>
CALL:SET:MS:<channel type
mnemonic>:TXL:<band mnemonic> <num
value>
CALL:<channel mnemonic>:MS:TXL:<band
mnemonic>:BURS <num value>
In addition to setting the mobile station transmit level, these commands also automatically configure the test
set's receiver at the expected input level, whether in active cell or test mode. However, in test mode, you must
also send the appropriate test mode commands to the mobile station to command it to output at the correct
level. This is due to the fact that the BSE is not transmitting call processing commands to the mobile station.
• Manually Setting Expected Power
Sending the CALL commands in
sets the expected input level of the test set's receiver. However, there is another option for setting the
receiver's input level in both active cell and test mode. It is often beneficial to manually set the expected
input power level using the RFAN commands, rather than using the CALL commands.
When you set the expected power manually, you tell the test set exactly what power level to expect.
Whereas the CALL commands simply tell the test set the range of input level to expect, based on the
definition of the mobile station power level (for example, an AMPS/136 mobile station transmitting at
power level 3 has an output level in the range of +20 dBm to +26 dBm).
