Remote Operation 4530 Series RF Power Meter
TKPWR
Description: Sets the talkmode to return the average, maximum and minimum power and peak-to-average
ratio (or pulse power, for CW sensors) for 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. Power is returned in current units, and peak-to-average ratio is in dB for log
units, and percent for linear units.
Syntax: TKPWR
Returns: Pavg, Pmax, Pmin, PkToAvgRatio (Modulated mode) or Ppulse (CW mode)
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, average power readings will be in units of dBr (log) or Percent Power
(linear).
TKBOTH
Description: Sets the talkmode to return the average power of both channels each time the 4530 is
addressed to talk. This is a “permanent” talkmode, and will remain in effect until a new
talkmode is set. Power is returned in current units. Use this command in 4530 native mode
for the fastest possible sustained reading rate of two-channel average power over the bus.
Syntax: TKBOTH
Returns: Pavg (ch1), Pavg (ch2)
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, power readings will be in units of dBr (log) or Percent Power (linear).
TKMK1
Description: Sets the talkmode to return the reading at marker 1 for the active 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. Power is returned in current units.
Syntax: TKMK1
Returns: Pwr@Marker1
Valid Modes: Pulse and Statistical modes
Restrictions: MARKer:MODe must be set to VERT. SYSTem:LANGuage must be set to BOON to use
native mode instructions.
