6 Remote Control – Commands

Notation

In the following sections, all commands implemented in the power sensor module are first listed in a

table according to command systems and are then described in detail. The notation is largely in line

with the SCPI standard.

Command tables For a quick overview of available commands, the commands are listed in a table

before they are described. These tables contain the following four columns:

Command:

Parameters:

Unit:

Remarks:

Indentations

The various levels of the SCPI command hierarchy are shown in the table by

indentations to the right. The lower the level, the greater the indentation to the right.

It should be noted that the complete notation of the command includes the higher

levels too.

Example:

SENSe:AVERage:COUNt is represented in the table as follows:

SENSe

:AVERage

In the individual description, the command is shown in full length. An example of the

command is given at the end of the description.

[?]

A question mark in square brackets at the end of a command indicates that this

command can either be used as a setting command (without question mark) or as a

query (with question mark). If the question mark is not in square brackets, the

command is a query only.

Example:

SENSe:POWer:AVG:APERture[?]

SENSe:POWer:AVG:APERture 1e-3 sets the length of the sampling window to 1

ms.

SENSe:POWer:AVG:APERture? Returns the currently set length as a response.

*IDN? Queries the identification string of the power sensor module that of course

cannot be changed. For this reason, this command is only available as a query.

Special

A vertical bar between parameters is used to separate alternative options (OR link).
