:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]<wsp><value>[DBM]

Sets the power range for a retun loss module’s monitor diode.

The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear measurements (measurements in Watts) is given below:

Range	Upper Linear	Range	Upper Linear
	Power Limit		Power Limit
+30 dBm	1999.9 mW	−50 dBm	19.999 nW
+20 dBm	199.99 mW	−60 dBm	1999.9 pW
+10 dBm	19.999 mW	−70 dBm	199.99 pW
0 dBm	1999.9 µW	−80 dBm	19.999 pW
−10 dBm	199.99 µW	−90 dBm	1.999 pW
−20 dBm	19.999 µW	−100 dBm	0.199 pW
−30 dBm	1999.9 nW	−110 dBm	0.019 pW
−40 dBm	199.99 nW

The range as a float value in dBm. The number is rounded to the closest multiple of 10, be- cause the range changes at 10 dBm intervals. Units are in dBm.
