2.5.5 Meas Method
Allows you to select the measurement method.
•Above Threshold Lvl — Selects the user defined threshold level or default level (-3.00 dB)
as the criteria in making the measurement.
•Measured Burst Width — This measurement method is not available for the following
radio standards: IS-95, J-STD-008, cdma2000-SR1, cdma2000-SR3, W-DCMA 3GPP.
NOTE The measurements described above are those available in SA mode (see Mode
key). Other measurements are available in other modes if an optional
personality is installed.

Example: BPOW:METH BWID to select burst width as the measurement method.
2.5.6 Burst Width
Sets the burst width parameter to automatic mode (Auto) or manual mode (Man).
•Auto — The burst width is automatically calculated based on the threshold level. For
example, if the threshold level is set to 3 dB, the burst width will be the time between
the two 3 dB points. This will update after each sweep, but before any results are
calculated. Since the measurement only measures over the burst width, this will force a
measurement between the 3 dB points.
•Man — The burst width used for computing the burst power is controlled by either
entering it directly or as a percentage of the measured burst width. In the percentage
case, the burst width is computed just once based on the most recent measured burst
