4530 Series RF Power Meter

MEMory:SYS:STORe

Description:

Saves the current instrument setup to internal memory location 1 thru 4.

Syntax:

MEMory:SYS{1|2|3|4}:STORe

Argument:

None

Valid Modes:

Any

MEMory:FDOFfset:DATA

Description:

Set or read back the data array for frequency dependent offset table A or B. The array must
be in comma delimited format, and should consist of up to 40 data pairs, each consisting of
a frequency, followed by the offset for that frequency. Frequencies are in GHz, and may be
any valid number within the operating range of the sensor. Offsets are in dB, and may range
from -9.99 to +9.99dB. Querying an empty FDOF table will return “0.00,0.00”.

Syntax:

MEMory:FDOFfset:{TBLA|TBLB}:DATA <asc>

Argument:

Freq1, Ofst1, Freq2, Ofst2 ... FreqN, OfstN

Valid Modes:

Power sensors only.

4.5.17 OUTPut Subsystem

The OUTPut group of commands is used to control the RF calibrator and recorder outputs of the power meter. For
calibrators, either the internal 50MHz, or optional external 1GHz RF calibration source(s) may be specified. The internal
calibrator is CW, and only ON/OFF status and output levels may be set. The external calibrator (Boonton Model 2530,
see appendix) can operate in CW mode, and can also be configured as a programmable pulse source, with options for
modulation rate and duty cycle. The 4530’s rear-panel recorder output is completely programmable, and may be used
as a DC voltage output, or configured to output a voltage proportional to the measured signal on either display channel
with adjustable or automatic scaling.

OUTPut:{INTernal|EXTernal}:SIGNal

Description:

Set or return the on/off state of the selected calibrator’s output signal..

Syntax:

OUTPut:{INTernal|EXTernal}:SIGNal

<asc>

Argument:

<asc> = OFF, ON

Valid Modes:

Any. Model 2530 must be connected if EXTernal is selected.

OUTPut:{INTernal|EXTernal}:LEVel

Description:

Set or return the power level for the selected calibrator’s output signal.

Syntax:

OUTPut:{INTernal|EXTernal}:LEVel <asc>

Argument:

<asc> = -60.0 to +20.0 dBm (0.1dB resolution)

Valid Modes:

Any. Model 2530 must be connected if EXTernal is selected.
