W-CDMA (Trial & Arib) mode

[:SENSe]:ACP:OFFSet[n]:LIST[m]:ABSolute

<power>,<power>,<power>,<power>,<power>

[:SENSe]:ACP:OFFSet[n]:LIST[m]:ABSolute?

Sets the absolute amplitude levels to test against for each of the custom offsets. The list must contain five (5) entries. If there is more than one offset, the offset closest to the carrier channel is the first one in the list. [:SENSe]:ACP:OFFSet[n]:LIST[m]:TEST selects the type of testing to be done at each offset.

You can turn off (not use) specific offsets with the [:SENSe]:ACP:OFFSet[n]:LIST:STATe command.

The query returns five (5) real numbers that are the current absolute amplitude test limits.

Offset[n]

n=1 is base station and 2 is mobiles. The default is base

 

station (1).

List[m]

 

cdmaOne mode m=1 is cellular bands and 2 is pcs bands. The default is cellular.

W-CDMA (Trial

&Arib) mode m=1 is ARIB, 2 is 3GPP, and 3 is Trial. The default is ARIB (1).
