READ:ARRay:CW:POWer
Description:
Performs a single measurement and returns the average, maximum, minimum powers and
peak-to-average ratio in dB (peak sensor) or pulse power (CW sensor) of the specified
channel. Note that the values for maximum and minimum power will depend on the peak
hold mode; see the description of the
CALCulate:PKHLD
command for details. If a CW
sensor is used, the pulse power returned is computed from the measured average power
and the preset duty cycle (see
CALCulate:DCYC
command).
Syntax:
READ[1|2]:ARRay:CW:POWer?
Returns:
Pavg, Pmax, Pmin, PkToAvgRatio (Modulated mode) or Ppulse (CW mode)
Valid Modes:
CW and Modulated modes
