Power Sensor Measurement Subsystems
The power sensor measurement uses several subsystems:
  • The CALCulate subsystem is used to configure the time gated measurements in power analysis.
  • The DISPlay subsystem is used to configure the diagram appearance.
  • The INITiate command switches the local state of the continuous power measurement on and off.
  • The READ system is used to start and to retrieve the measurement result of the power viewer measurement.
  • The SENSe subsystem contains the commands for configuring the power viewer and power analysis measurements with power sensors connected to the generator.
    Up to three sensors can be connected to the signal generator.
  • The TRACe subsystem is used to configure the traces in power analysis and to retrieve the measurement results.
Power Viewer

The power viewer measurement is started with the READ command, this command also retrieves the measurement results.

The sensors are distinguished by means of the suffix under SENSe:
  • Power sensor connected to the SENSOR port = SENSe[1]
  • First Power sensor connected to the USB interface = SENSe2
  • Second Power sensor connected to the USB interface = SENSe3

Third Power sensor connected to the USB interface = SENSe4

Power and Pulse Data Analysis, Gated Measurements (option R&S SMA-K28)

The power analysis measurement commands are subsumed under the SENSe[:POWer]:SWEep:… commands. Three measurement modes are available: Frequency, Power and Time.

The power analysis measurement is started with the SENSe[:POWer]:SWEep:INITiate command and the measurement result retrieved with the TRACe[:POWer]:SWEep:… commands.

The four sensors are distinguished by means of the suffix at the second key word SENSe.

The time gate settings are performed using the CALCulate[:POWer]:SWEep:… commands.

The measurement diagram and results can be stored in a hardcopy with the SENSe[:POWer]:SWEep:HCOPy:… commands.

General parameter and measurement settings are valid for all connected sensors, therefore, no suffix is used in these commands.
