Agilent Technologies 5964-8134 Additional Sense Commands

Additional Sense Commands

The following additional sense commands are provided with the Agilent Dual Power Analyzer Option

020/022. These commands let you select a measurement source and the frequency measurement channel

for the Power Analyzer input.

Selects the measurement source that will return data when a query is sent. A parameter value of 1 selects

the Main Output, which measures the actual output voltage and current of the ac source. A value of 2

selects the Power Analyzer input, which measures the voltage and current at the V SENSE and I SENSE

input channels. Note that this command is similar to, but not the same as, the command

INSTrument:NSELect that is used in 3-phase sources.

Only the following commands are affected by the measurement source selection:

• Queries beginning with MEASure or FETCh

• SENSe:CURRent:ACDC:RANGe <range>

Command Syntax SENSe:NSELect <NR1>

Parameters 1 | 2

*RST Value 1

Examples SENS:NSEL 2

Query Syntax SENSe:NSELect?

Returned Parameters <NR1>

This command selects the frequency measurement source for the Power Analyzer input. It only applies

when the Power Analyzer input is active.

Accurate frequency measurements are critical when making all Harmonic measurement calculations.

Other measurement calculations also use frequency measurement values, but they only slightly affect the

accuracy of the measurement. The ac source normally measures the frequency at the V SENSE input

channel. With this comand you can select the I SENSE input channel as the frequency measurement

source for the Power Analyzer input.

NOTE: For Main Output measurements, the ac source uses the programmed output frequency

value when making measurement calculations.

Command Syntax SENSe:FREQuency:SOURce <source>

Parameters VOLTage | CURRent

Examples SENS:FREQ:SOUR CURR

Query Syntax SENSe:FREQuency:SOURce?
