4530 Series RF Power Meter Remote Operation
TKSCWRG
Description: Returns the CW sensor linearity calibration table from sensor’s EEPROM. CW power
sensors have 7 pairs of upscale / downscale gain factors, and voltage probes have eight
pairs of upscale / midscale / downscale gain factors. Upscale factors have a nominal value
of 5000, and midscale and downscale factors have a nominal value of 0. On voltage probes,
the eighth pair of up/downscale factors and all eight midscale factors is returned at the end
of the array for compatibility with CW sensors.
Syntax: TKSCWRG?
Returns: numeric array: < DS0,US0,DS1,US1, ...DS6,US6 [,DS7,US7,MS0,MS1, ...MS7] >
Valid Modes: All
Restrictions: SYSTem:LANGuage must be set to BOON to use native mode instructions
TKSMSG
Description: Returns the sensor text message from sensor’s EEPROM. This message is programmed at
the factory or during sensor calibration.
Syntax: TKSMSG?
Returns: <Message String>
Valid Modes: All
Restrictions: SYSTem:LANGuage must be set to BOON to use native mode instructions
TKAVG
Description: Sets the talkmode to return the average power of the selected channel each time the 4530 is
addressed to talk. This is a “permanent” talkmode, and will remain in effect until a new
talkmode is set. Use this command in 4530 native mode for the fastest possible sustained
reading rate of single-channel average power over the bus. Power is returned in current
units.
Syntax: TKAVG
Returns: Average (or CW) Power
Valid Modes: CW and Modulated modes
Restrictions: SYSTem:LANGuage must be set to BOON to use native mode instructions
Special Case: If in ratiometric mode, reading will be in units of dBr (log) or Percent Power (linear).
