STARt :
Logging data acquisition function
Stability data acquisition fun ction
MinMax data acquisition function
Stop data acquisition function
Start data acquisition function
NOTE When you enable a logging data acquisition function for a Agile nt 8163A/B Series Power
Meter with averaging time of less than 100 ms with input hardw are triggering disabled, all
GPIB commands w ill be ignored fo r the duratio n of the functi on.
See “:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing” on page 94 for mor e infor-
mation on the logging data acquisi tion function.
NOTE Stop any function before you try to set up a new function . Some parameters cannot be set
until you stop the function.
response: none
example: sens1:func:stat logg,star
affects: All power meters and return loss modules
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
