Title
Auto Range Setup
Description
Sets the Anritsu handheld instrument to auto range the amplitude of the PIM signal received from the PIM Master. There is an initial 1 second measurement of the PIM power so the Anritsu handheld instrument can adjust reference level and span appropriately. This is followed by the actual measurement at the pre described test duration. The query part of the command returns the value of the current Auto Range setup.
Default Value
0
