4530 Series RF Power Meter
OUTPut:RECOrder:MEAS
Description:
Set or return the recorder output’s measurement mode. If set to AUTO, the output level is
automatically scaled to match the display, and generally will “downscale” every decade as
power increases. In MANUAL mode, the output level is scaled using the minimum and
maximum powers set with
OUTPut:RECOrder:MIN
and
:MAX
as the downscale and fullscale
values. This allows very wide range or very high resolution. Setting to ALARM will cause
the recorder output to behave as a logic-level alarm status indicator, which will be 0V under
normal conditions and 5V when an alarm condition exists.
Syntax:
OUTPut:RECOrder:MEAS <asc>
Argument:
<asc> = AUTO, MANUAL, ALARM
Valid Modes:
Any
OUTPut:RECOrder:POLarity
Description:
Set or return the recorder output polarity. UNIPOLAR selects 0.0 volts and 10.0 volts to as
minimum and maximum output levels, and BIPOLAR selects -10.0 to +10.0 volts.
Syntax:
OUTPut:RECOrder:POLarity <asc>
Argument:
<asc> = UNIPOLAR, BIPOLAR
Valid Modes:
Any
OUTPut:RECOrder:MIN
Description:
Set or return the recorder output minimum, or downscale (-10.0V or 0.0V) power reference
level. For voltage probes, this is the equivalent power at the current impedance setting.
Syntax:
OUTPut:RECOrder:MIN <n>
Argument:
<n> = -100.00 to +100.00 dBm
Valid Modes:
OUTPut:RECorder:MEAS
must be set to MANUAL.
OUTPut:RECOrder:MAX
Description:
Set or return the recorder output maximum, or fullscale (+10.0V) power reference level. For
voltage probes, this is the equivalent power at the current impedance setting.
Syntax:
OUTPut:RECOrder:MAX <n>
Argument:
<n> = -100.00 to +100.00 dBm
Valid Modes:
OUTPut:RECorder:MEAS
must be set to MANUAL.
OUTPut:RECOrder:FORCE
Description:
Set or return the recorder output voltage directly. This is useful to generate a fixed, DC
voltage level for controlling an external device in a test system. Issuing a FORCE command
will temporarily override all other recorder output settings.
Syntax:
OUTPut:RECOrder:FORCE <n>
Argument:
<n> = -10.0 to +10.0 volts
Valid Modes:
Any
