HP 436A EMULATION COMMANDS

GPIB OPERATION

 

dB (rel)

C

Remarks:

Set to dB units in relative mode using the present relative reference value,

 

 

and enable the application of the calfactor.

D

dBm

 

 

Remarks:

EMUL

Select emulation mode

 

Syntax:

EMUL <mode>

 

mode: ML24XX (Anritsu ML2430A Series native mode)

 

 

HP436A (Hewlett-Packard)

 

 

HP437B (Hewlett-Packard)

 

 

HP438A (Hewlett-Packard)

 

 

ML4803 (Anritsu ML4803A Series)

 

Remarks:

Sets the GPIB emulation to emulate other types of power meters. This

 

 

command is available in any emulation mode, and resets the whole GPIB

 

 

interface when the emulation mode is changed.

 

 

When selecting GPIB emulation modes, the instrument configures itself to

 

 

the preset conditions of the instrument to be emulated. For example,

 

 

when selecting HP 438A emulation, the front panel menus pass through

 

 

the presets for the HP 437B (which presets sensor A to dBm) then selects

 

 

HP 438A emulation (which presets sensor A to Watts).

 

 

NOTE

 

 

This command requires a white space between the com-

 

 

mand header (EMUL) and the parameter <mode>. This is

 

 

an ML2430A-specific command that does not conform to

 

 

the HP Emulation command format defined at the begin-

 

 

ning of this section.

H

Hold mode

 

 

Remarks:

Sets both channels to trigger hold mode. The power meter does not trigger

 

 

until it receives an I or T command. If it receives an R or V command, it re-

 

 

verts back to the trigger mode it was in before the H command was sent.
