Training Sequence Code (TSC) Auto

[:SENSe]:CHANnel:TSCode:AUTO OFFON01

[:SENSe]:CHANnel:TSCode:AUTO?

Select auto or manual control for training sequence code (TSC) search. With auto on, the measurement is made on the first burst found to have one of the valid TSCs in the range 0 to 7 (i.e. normal bursts only). With auto off, the measurement is made on the 1st burst found to have the selected TSC.

Channel Power Measurement

Commands for querying the channel power measurement results and for setting to the default values are found in the “MEASure Group of Commands” on page 255. The equivalent front panel keys for the parameters described in the following commands, are found under the Meas Setup key, after the Channel Power measurement has been selected from the MEASURE key menu. CHPower used instead of the more std-compliant CPOWer, as that syntax was already used for Carrier Power measurement (but has since been renamed).

Channel Power—Average Count

[:SENSe]:CHPower:AVERage:COUNt <integer>

[:SENSe]:CHPower:AVERage:COUNt?

Set the number of data acquisitions that will be averaged. After the specified number of average counts, the averaging mode (terminal control) setting determines the averaging action.
