Boonton 4500B RF Peak Power Analyzer

Remote Operation

5-69

SENSe:CORRection:OFFSet

Description:

Set or return a measurement offset in dB for the selected sensor. This is used to compensate for
external couplers, attenuators or amplifiers in the RF signal path ahead of the power sensor.

Syntax:

SENSe[1|2]:CORRection:OFFSet <n>

Argument:

<n> = -99.99 to +99.99 dB

Valid Modes:

Any

SENSe:CORRection:TEMPcomp

Description:

Set or return the state of the peak sensor temperature compensation system. This system
compensates for drift that might otherwise be caused by changes in the temperature of the peak
power sensors. When set to OFF, a warning will be displayed if the sensor temperature drifts
more than 4 degrees C from the autocal temperature. When ON, the warning will not appear until
temperature has drifted by 30C.

Syntax:

SENSe[1|2]:CORRection:TEMPcomp <asc>

Argument:

<asc> = {OFF, ON} (defaults to ON when powered up, or when new sensor inserted)

Valid Modes:

Peak Sensors Only

Note: Some older peak sensors may not have temperature compensation tables. In this case, the
temperature compensation system is automatically turned off.

SENSe:FILTer:STATe

Description:

Set or return the current setting of the integration filter on the selected channel. OFF provides no
filtering, and can be used at high signal levels when absolute minimum settling time is required.
ON allows a user-specified integration time, from 2 milliseconds to 15 seconds (see
SENSe:FILTer:TIMe command). Note that setting the filter time will force the state to ON.
AUTO uses a variable amount of filtering, which is set automatically by the power analyzer based
on the current signal level to a value that gives a good compromise between measurement noise
and settling time at most levels.

Syntax:

SENSe[1|2]:FILTer:STATe <asc>

Argument:

<asc> = {OFF, ON, AUTO}

Valid Modes:

Modulated
