Measurement Operations & Settings Measurement Functions – The SENSe Subsystem
98 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
command:
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:BLOCk?
syntax: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:BLOCk?<wsp><offset>,<# of data points>
description: Returns a specific binary block (Intel byte order) from the data array for the last data acquisi-
tion function.
parameters: <offset> A zero based offset; the number of data points to ignore.
# data points The number of data points (not bytes!) to return.
response: The last stablility or logging data acquisition function’s data array as a binary block.
This function is not available for min-max measurements.
One measurement value is a 4-byte-long float in Intel byte order.
See “Data Types” on page 26 for more information on Binary Blocks.
example: sens1:func:res:bloc? #5, 2 → interpreted as
7.24079E-04,7.24252E-04<end>
affects: All power meters and return loss modules .
dual sensors: Master and slave channels are independent.
NOTE
Return Loss modules:
For Logging and Stability Data Acquisition functions, the data array contains power
values.
command:
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:MAXBlocksize?
syntax: :SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:MAXBlocksize?<wsp><offset><# of data
points>
description: Returns the maximum block size for a single GPIB transfer for power meter data acquisition
functions. If your application requires more data points please use SENSe[n][:CHAN-
nel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult:BLOCk? instead of SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?
parameters: none
response: An integer value, number of data points.
See “Data Types” on page 26 for more information on Binary Blocks.
