Trace Mode (Normal/Average/Max Hold/Min Hold)

Specifies how successive traces are combined to produce the resulting display value. Setting the TYPE to NONE is the equivalent of setting the trace mode to “Normal->A” on the front panel. The displayed value for a point is the current measured value for that point. Setting the TYPE to SCALar is the equivalent of setting the trace mode to “Average->A” on the front panel. The displayed value for a point is the average of the last <integer> measured values where <integer> is set by [:SENSe]:AVERage:COUNt. Setting the TYPE to MAXimum is the equivalent of setting the trace mode to “Max Hold->A” on the front panel. The displayed value for a point is the maximum measured value for that point over sweeps. Setting the TYPE to MINimum is the equivalent of setting the trace mode to “Min Hold->A” on the front panel. The displayed value for a point is the minimum measured value for that point over sweeps.

Video Bandwidth Coupling

Sets the state of the coupling of the video bandwidth to the resolution bandwidth. Setting the value to ON or 1 results in the video bandwidth being coupled to the resolution bandwidth. That is, when the resolution bandwidth changes, the video bandwidth changes. Setting the value to OFF or 0 results in the video bandwidth being un-coupled from the resolution bandwidth. That is, changing the resolution bandwidth does not change the video bandwidth. When this command is issued, the video bandwidth setting itself does not change. The default value is ON. That is, sending :SENS:BAND:VID:AUTO is equivalent to sending :SENS:BAND:VID:AUTO ON.

Video Bandwidth to Resolution Bandwidth Ratio

Sets the ratio of the video bandwidth to the resolution bandwidth for use when the video to resolution bandwidth coupling is enabled. Note that the front panel interface sets the inverse ratio: the resolution bandwidth to the video bandwidth which is an integer, in other words, if you send 0.35, the display shows 2 not 2.857.

Resolution Bandwidth Coupling

Sets the state of the coupling of the resolution bandwidth to the frequency span. Setting the value to ON or 1 results in the resolution bandwidth being coupled to the span. That is, when the span changes, the resolution bandwidth changes. Setting the value to OFF or 0 results in the resolution bandwidth being un-coupled from the span. That is, changing the span does not change the resolution bandwidth. When this command is issued, the resolution bandwidth setting itself does not change. The default value is ON. That is, sending :SENS:BAND:RES:AUTO is equivalent to sending :SENS:BAND:RES:AUTO ON.

Detection Type

Sets the detection method for calculating each display point. Each display point represents several measurements. The detection type determines how the display point is derived from its associated measurements. POSitive Peak detection displays the maximum value of the associated measurements. RMS detection displays the average power of the associated measurements. NEGative Peak detection displays the minimum value of the associated measurements. SAMPle detection displays the “middle” point of those measurements associated with a display point. For example, if there are 3 measurement frequencies associated with a given display point, sample detection displays the value at the frequency of the second measurement point.

Selects the desired signal standard from the list. The <string> argument is the name of the desired signal standard as displayed in the instrument’s current signal standard list. The list can be displayed on the instrument by choosing the Signal Standard submenu button in the Freq menu. The list can also be downloaded remotely and viewed using Anritsu Master Software Tools. For example, if the desired Signal Standard is P-GSM 900 - Uplink, then the value of the <string> argument would be “P-GSM 900 - Uplink”.

The query form of this command returns the name of the currently selected Signal Standard on the list.

The <antenna> argument is a 1-based index of the position of the desired antenna in the instrument’s current antenna list. The list can be displayed on the instrument by choosing the “Antenna” submenu button in the “F Strength” menu. For example, if the desired antenna were the 3rd item on the antenna listing, then the value of the <antenna> argument would be 3.
