Boonton 4240 Series RF Power Meter


5.5.9 OUTPut Subsystem

The OUTPut group of commands is used to control various outputs of the 4240. These outputs include the internal 50 MHz
calibrator and the Recorder Output. The internal 50 MHz calibrator is primarily used for automatic calibration of power
sensors. Precise level continuous wave (CW) signals can also be sourced by the internal calibrator. OUTPut commands for
the Recorder Output include setting the DC output to the MAXimum or MINimum level or can be forced to any level in
between. Also the Recorder Output can be assigned to either channel 1 or 2.

UTPut:LEVel[:POWer]

Description:

Set or return the power level of the internal 50 MHz calibrator output signal.

+20.0 dBm (0.1dB resolution)

UTPut:SIGNal

Description:

Set or return the on/off state of the internal 50 MHz output signal.

Syntax:

OUTPut:SIGNal <Boolean>

Argument:

<Boolean> = { 0, 1, OFF, ON }

OUTPut:RECorder:FORCe

Description:

Command sets the output voltage to the argument. Query returns the output voltage previously set
by FORCe or causes error -221 “Settings conflict” if the Recorder Ouput has been assigned to a
channel.

Syntax:

OUTPut:RECorder:FORCe <numeric value>

Argument:

<numeric value> = 0.000 to + 10.000 V

OUTPut:RECorder:MAX

Description:

Set or return the recorder output maximum, or full scale (+10.0V) power reference level.

Syntax:

OUTPut:RECorder:MAX

Argument: none


OUTPut:RECorder:MIN

Description:

Set or return the recorder output minimum, or downscale (0.0V) power reference level.

Syntax:

OUTPut:RECorder:MIN

Argument: none

O

Syntax: OUTPut:LEVel[:POWer ]< numeric value >

Argument:
