Agilent Technologies E8285A manual Set a measurement reference point

Chapter 1, Description of Keys

Keys

To Set A Measurement Reference Point. Use the :REFerence:VALue commands to

set a measurement reference point.

Syntax

:REFerence:VALue <real number>

Example

OUTPUT 714;"MEAS:RFR:POW:REF:VAL 20"

This sets the measurement reference point for the TX power measurement to 20 watts.

NOTE:When setting a measurement reference point, any non–attribute unit’s unit-of-measure must be specified in the command string, otherwise the current attribute unit is assumed by the Test Set. Refer to “To Specify Units-of-Measure for GPIB Data Transfer” in the Operating Overview chapter of the E8285A User’s Guide .

To Query A Measurement Reference Point. Use the :REFerence:VALue?

commands to query a measurement reference point.

Syntax

:REFerence:VALue?

Example

OUTPUT 714;"MEAS:RFR:POW:REF:VAL?"

ENTER 714;Ref_val

This queries the measurement reference point for the TX power measurement.

NOTE:When querying a measurement reference point through GPIB, the Test Set always returns numeric values in attribute units, regardless of the current display units or GPIB units settings. Numeric values are expressed in scientific notation.

Refer to “To Specify Units-of-Measure for GPIB Data Transfer” in the Operating Overview chapter of the E8285A User’s Guide .
