Description: Sets the duty cycle in percent for calculated CW pulse power measurements. Valid only for
thermal sensors and CW sensors in the square-law region and subject to the accuracy of the duty
cycle value. Setting the duty cycle to 100% is equivalent to a CW measurement. Note that this
method of measuring pulse power should be used only if a peak power measurement cannot be
used. This item is not pictured above—it only appears in Modulated mode. The Duty Cycle
Menu item is disabled for Peak Power Sensors.
