:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:ATIMe?
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:ATIMe?
Returns the averaging time for the module.
none
The averaging time as a float value in seconds.
→
sens1:pow:atim?
All power meters and return loss modules
Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]<wsp><value>[DBM]
Sets the power range for the module.
The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear measure-
ments (measurements in Watts) is given below:
Range Upper Linear
Power Limit
+30 dBm 1999.9 mW
+20 dBm 199.99 mW
+10 dBm 19.999 mW
1999.9 µW
0 dBm
−10 dBm 199.99 µW
−20 dBm 19.999 µW
−30 dBm
1999.9 nW
−40 dBm
199.99 nW
The range as a float value in dBm. The number is rounded to the closest multiple of 10, be-
cause the range changes at 10 dBm intervals. Units are in dBm.
none
sens1:pow:rang -20DBM
All power meters
Master and slave channels are independent.
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
Returns the range setting for the module
none
The range setting as a float value in dBm
(−110 Š≤ value ≤ +30).
→
sens1:pow:rang?
All power meters
Master and slave channels are independent.
