command: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]<wsp> <value>[DBM]
description: Sets the power range for the module.
The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear
measurements (measurements in Watts) is given below:
+30 dBm
+20 dBm
+10 dBm
-10 dBm
-20 dBm
-30 dBm
-40 dBm
parameters: The range as a float number in dBm. The number is rounded to the closest
multiple of 10, because the range changes at 10 dBm intervals. Units are in
dBm.
response: none
example:
sens1:pow:rang -20DBM
affects: All power meter modules
command: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[n]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
description: Returns the range setting for the module
parameters: none
response: The range setting as a float value in dBm
(−110 ≤ value ≤ +30).
example:
sens1:pow:rang?
affects: All power meter modules
