Measurement Functions – The SENSe Subsystem Measurement Operations & Settings
Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition 103
command:
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe[:UPPer]?
description: Returns the range setting for the module. For a return loss module, returns the power range
of the return loss diode.
parameters: none
response: The range setting as a float value in dBm
(−110 ≤ value ≤ +30).
example: sens1:pow:rang? → -2.00000000E+001<END>
affects: All power meters and return loss modules.
dual sensors: Master and slave channels are independent.
command:
:SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]
syntax: :SENSe[n]:[CHANnel[m]]:POWer:RANGe:MONitor[:UPPer]<wsp><value>[DBM]
description: Sets the power range for a retun loss module’s monitor diode.
The range changes at 10 dBm intervals. The corresponding ranges for linear measurements
(measurements in Watts) is given below:

parameters: The range as a float value in dBm. The number is rounded to the closest multiple of 10, be-
cause the range changes at 10 dBm intervals. Units are in dBm.
response: none
example: sens1:pow:rang:mon -20DBM
affects: All return loss modules.
dual sensors: Master and slave channels are independent.
