Range - Agilent Technologies N1911A Programming Manual

Range

The power meter has no internal ranges which can be set. The only ranges
that can be set are those of the E- Series power sensor and N8480 Series
power sensors (excluding Option CFT). With an E- Series power sensor or
N8480 Series power sensors (excluding Option CFT), the range can be set
either automatically or manually. Use autoranging when you are not sure
of the power level you will be measuring.
Setting the Range
To set the range manually use the following command:
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe <numeric_value>
If the <numeric_value> is set to:
• 0, the sensor's lower range is selected. (For example, this range is –70
• 1, the sensor's upper range is selected. (For example, this range is
For details on the range limits of other E- Series power sensor and N8480
Series power sensor (excluding Option CFT), refer to the appropriate
power sensor manual.

To enable autoranging use the following command:
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:POWer:AC:RANGe:AUTO ON
Use autoranging when you are not sure of the power level you will be
measuring.
