® Command Reference R&S CMW-KN5xx Multi Evaluation Measurement Commands <Power> The number of results n and the test point separation depend on the resolution bandwidth, see table below. The value in the mid- dle of each result array corresponds to the carrier frequency. For RBW100 and RBW1000 results are only available for frequen- cies, for which limits using these RBW have been defined.
