sensor software.
SCPI command:
Type - Power Sensors
Indicates the type and the serial number of the connected R&S NRP-Z power sensor.
The sensor type is automatically detected.
SCPI command:
State - Power Sensors
Activates/deactivates level measurement by the power sensor.
The local state is set with the
INIT
command. Switching the local state off enhances the
measurement performance.
In remote control, the sensors are set up using the
SENSe
commands. The remote mea-
surement is triggered by the
READ
query which also provides the measurement results.
The state is not influenced by these commands, measurements results can be retrieved
with local State on or off.
The sensor is selected by suffix 1, 2, 3 or 4 in key word
SENSe
or
READ
of the command
header.
Suffix 1 denotes the sensor connected at the first USB interface, and suffix 2, 3 and 4 are
assigned to further sensors connected via USB. The suffix is identical to the index which
is assigned automatically to each sensor upon connection.
To query the availability of a sensor at a given connector, use the command
SCPI command:
Level (Peak) - Power Sensors
With certain power sensors only, e.g. R&S NRP-Z81.
Indicates the measured peak level value with the selected unit.
SCPI command:
Level (Avg.) - Power Sensors
Indicates the measured level value with the selected unit.
SCPI command:
Unit - Power Sensors
Selects the unit used for result display.
The power sensor provides the measured value in Watt.
