3.9 1018B Emulation Commands
1018B Emulation commands will be in the following format:
Table 3-4. 1018B Emulation Commands Format
NNN
Command
Argument
Set Delay 0 to 9.99 microseconds (1018B Emulation) / none
(nnn = delay in hundredths of microseconds)
NOTE: A decimal point cannot be sent in the argument string.
Set Delay 0 to 99.9 microseconds (1018B Emulation) / none
(nnn = delay in tenths of microseconds.)
NOTE: A decimal point cannot be sent in the argument string.
? Update Data (1018B Emulation).
Causes a trigger reset when in the update or trigger modes. The PPM will output
power measurement data the next time a trigger occurs.
3.10 Data Formats
Data will be in the following formats:
dBm Mode:
snnnn,0(CR)(LF)(NULL EOI)
(Interpret snnnn,0 as nnn.n dBm)
Range 1: (microwatts)
snnnn,1(CR)(LF)(NULL EOI)
(Interpret snnnn,1 as nnn.n µW)
Range 2: (milliwatts)
snnnn,2(CR)(LF)(NULL EOI)
(Interpret snnnn,2 as nn.nn mW)
Range 3: (milliwatts)
snnnn,3(CR)(LF)(NULL EOI)
(Interpret snnnn,3 as n.nnn mW)
(s = polarity; linear always +; n = power value)
☛ NOTE: When operating in the Linear Mode, the range is determined from the linear range
that has been set from the front panel.
