GPIB OPERATION

ML4803A EMULATION COMMANDS

As shown in the examples above, the dBm data is output in fixed rotation, while the WATT data is output in scientific notation. The exponent may be converted as follows:

1.000W = 1.000E–0

1.000 ￿W = 1.000E–6

1.000 mW = 1.000E–3

100.0 nW = 100.0E–9

100.0 ￿W = 100.0E–6

10.00 nW = 10.00E–9

10.00 ￿W = 10.00E–6

0.100 nW = 0.100E–9

For dB (rel), including % and VSWR data, the display data is output in fixed notation just as dBm data is.

REF

Set the reference value.

Syntax: REF<value>

value: Reference value

Remarks: If the display channel is already in relative mode the display value will be updated to be relative to the new reference value set. When the display channel is put into relative mode the reference value will be over written with the correct relative value to make the display read 0 dB.

RNG

Sensor measurement range hold.

Syntax: RNG<number>

<number>: 1 = Range 1 (ML2430A range 5) 2 = Range 2 (ML2430A range 4) 3 = Range 3 (ML2430A range 3) 4 = Range 4 (ML2430A range 2) 5 = Range 5 (ML2430A range 1) A = Auto ranging

Remarks: When the ML2430 is being used to emulate the ML4803, the ranges are reversed; that is, ML4803 range 1 (the lowest power range) is equivalent to the ML2430A range 5, and ML4803 range 5 (the highest power range) is equivalent to the ML2430A range 1. Refer to page 4-6for more information on sensor ranges.

SRQ

Turns on or off the SRQ on output data ready.

Syntax: SRQ<state>

state: 0 = OFF 1 = ON
