3.3.5 Power Detector
A power detector is provided to monitor the output power. It has a useful range of over 20 dB, referenced to the unit’s rated P1dB point,
and its value can be read by exercising the
RMS
command. The test data supplied with each unit gives an indication of the excellent
accuracy and flatness of the power monitor over the frequency band of operation.
3.3.6 Some Common Commands
A few of the most common commands and queries are listed below. Full details for each of these are listed in Sect. 3.5 of this chapter.
•

3.3.7 End-of-Life Commands
Certain commands/queries are being marked as End-of-Life (EOL). As noted in the format <description> E in the Parameter Type field (in
the Remote Commands and Queries tables in Sect. 3.5), while these commands are fully supported in this product it is highly
recommended that the equivalent new commands be used for new implementations. The new commands will generally follow the
outdated commands:
