Summary of Commands<br />
A.1 Introduction<br />
This appendix provides a summary of the commands required to activate all of the various functions of<br />
the <strong>Series</strong> <strong>8500A</strong> <strong>Peak</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>Meter</strong>s (PPM). The commands are listed for each of the different modes of<br />
operation of the PPM (All, CW, <strong>Peak</strong>, Graph, Dual Channel, and 1018B Emulation).<br />
A laminated Quick Reference card is included with the <strong>Series</strong> <strong>8500A</strong> manuals. This card shows all of the<br />
functional commands in each testing mode as well as how to get from one mode to another. The reverse<br />
side of the card gives a quick reference to all of the major menus shown in Appendix B.<br />
Keys that are to be pressed for the command sequence are enclosed in brackets. For simplicity, values are<br />
given as a single command rather than as individual numbers (for example, 0.1 is shown as [0.1] rather than<br />
[0][.][1]). The [UNITS] command at the end or included with some of the command keystroke sequences<br />
means to press any of the three units keys (ms, µs, or ns) to enter the values of the keyed sequence.<br />
Numbers in parenthesis after a MENU or MEM key means to press the key that number of times to reach<br />
a specific menu level.<br />
