[SENSe] Subsystem

The SENSe command subsystem directly affects device specific settings

used to make measurements. The SENSe subsystem is optional since this is

the primary function of the power meter. The high level command

CONFigure uses the SENSe commands to prepare the p ower meter for

making measurements. At a lower level SENSe enables you to change the

following parameters: RANGe, FREQuency, LOSS, CFACator|GAIN1

(calibration factor), GAIN2 (channel offset), DCYCle (duty cycle) and

AVERage, without completely re- configuring the power meter.

The SENSe command subsystem also allows you to select the measurement

speed, a sensor calibration table, and a frequency dependent offset table.

The numeric suffix of the SENSe program mnemonic in the SENSe

commands refers to a channel, that is SENSe1 and SENSe2 represent

Channel A and Channel B respectively.

If you are using the single channel N1911A power meter the SENSe2 commands are

irrelevant and cause the error "Header suffix out of range."
