Page This turns the measurement reference point for the TX Power measurement ON. This queries the state of the measurement reference point for the TX Power measurement. This sets the measurement reference point for the TX Power measurement to 20 watts. This queries the measurement reference point for the TX Power measurement. This sets the measurement reference points Display Units for the TX Power measurement to dBm. This queries the measurement reference points Display Units for the TX Power measurement. INSTRUMENT STATE Keys This sets the Test Sets GPIB address to 15. This queries the Test Sets GPIB address. This resets all of the active measurements in the Test Set. This resets the Test Set to its power-up state. This recalls the instrument state saved in the file SETUP1. This saves the instrument state to a file named SETUP1: This clears the instrument state SETUP2 from the selected SAVE/ RECALL mass storage device. This clears all saved instrument states from the internal SAVE/ RECALL mass storage device. SCREEN CONTROL Keys and To Screen Field This displays the Audio Frequency Analyzer screen.
