:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]POWer:REFerence:STATe:RATio<wsp>
<slot number>|255|TOREF,<channel number>
Selects the reference for the module.
slot number: an integer value representing the slot number you want to refer-
ence
255 or TOREF:
results are displayed relative to an absolute reference
channel number:
an integer value representing the channel number you want to ref-
erence
If you want to reference another power sensor channel, use an integer value
corresponding to the slot for the first parameter and an integer value
corresponding to the channel for the second value.
If you want to use an absolute reference, use TOREF as the first parameter and
any integer value as the second parameter.

:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]POWer:REFerence:STATe:RATio?
Returns the reference setting for the module.

results are displayed relative to an absolute reference or to the current power reading
from another channel.
