Remote Operation 5-48
5.5.9 MEASure Queries
The MEASure group of commands is used to acquire data using a set of high level instructions. They are structured to allow
the user to trade off fine control of the measurement process for easy operability. MEASure? provides a complete capability
where the power analyzer is configured, a measurement taken, and results returned in one operation. The instrument is set to
a basic, predefined measurement state with little user intervention necessary or possible. Sometimes, more precise control of
measurement is required. In these cases, MEASure? should not be used. Rather, a sequence of configuration commands,
generally from the CALCulate and SENSe groups should be used to set up the instrument for the measurement, then READ?
or FETCH? commands are used to return the desired measurement data in a specific format.
MEASure:POWer?
Description: Return average power using a default instrument configuration in Modulated mode and dBm units.
Instrument remains stopped in modulated mode after a measurement.
Syntax: Measure[1|2]:POWer?
Returns: CC, Average power in dBm
Where CC is the measurement condition code.
Modes: Automatically set to Modulated mode before measurement
MEASure:VOLTage?
Description: Return average voltage using a default instrument configuration in Modulated mode and volts
units. Instrument remains stopped in modulated mode after a measurement.
Syntax: MEASure[1|2|3|4]:VOLTage?
Returns: Average voltage in linear volts
Where CC is the measurement condition code.
Valid Modes: Automatically set to Modulated mode before measurement.
