Remote Operation 4530 Series RF Power Meter
READ:MARKer:POWer
Description: Performs a single measurement and returns the power reading at the specified marker on the
specified channel.
Syntax: READ[1|2]:MARKer[1|2]:POWer?
Returns: power or voltage in active units
Valid Modes: Pulse and Statistical modes
Restrictions: MARKer:MODe must be set to VERT
READ:ARRay:MARKer:POWer
Description: Performs a single measurement and returns the power readings at both markers on the
specified channel.
Syntax: READ[1 | 2]:ARRay:MARKer:POWer?
Returns: Pwr@Marker1, Pwr@Marker2 in active units
Valid Modes: Pulse and Statistical modes
Restrictions: MARKer:MODe must be set to VERT
READ:ARRay:MARKer:PERcent
Description: Performs a single measurement and returns the statistical percent readings at both markers
on the specified channel.
Syntax: READ[1|2]:ARRay:MARKer:PERcent?
Returns: Percent@Marker1, Percent@Marker2
Valid Modes: Statistical mode only
Restrictions: MARKer:MODe must be set to HORZ
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
