[:SENSe]:DEMod:SCODe:AUTO?
Title
Automatic Scrambling Code Detection
Description
Sets the state of the automatic scrambling code detection feature. Setting the value to ON or 1 will result in the scrambling code being set to the code of the strongest detected signal.

Description
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 will return the name of the currently selected Signal Standard on the list.

OTA Scrambling Code Lock
Description
This command refers to the primary scrambling codes used for W-CDMA over-the-air measurements. When scrambling code lock is ON, the instrument will not search for any new scrambling codes and will only measure the codes that have already been detected. When scrambling code lock is OFF, the instrument will dynamically update the list of scrambling codes that are to be included in the current measurements. This feature has no effect when scrambling code auto detection is OFF for over-the-air measurements. The default value for this command is ON. That is, sending SENS:DEM:OTA:LOCK is equivalent to SENS:DEM:OTA:LOCK ON.

Title
PASS/FAIL Test Selection
Description
Selects the active test set to be used in subsequent PASS/FAIL measurements. The <test set> value must correspond to a test set that is defined in the test set list. For more information on loading test sets to the instrument, see the :MMEMory:STORe:PFail command. NOTE: The first test set in the list would be test set 0, the next test set would be 1, etc.
When using the query form of the command, the return value is the currently selected test set number. If there is not a valid test set selected, the return value is “-1” (negative 1).

[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO?

Automatic Amplitude Range
Description
Sets the automatic amplitude range. Setting the value to ON or 1 will result in the amplitude range being coupled to the detected input signal level. Setting the value to OFF or 0 will result in the input attenuation being un-coupled from the input signal level. That is, changing the input signal level will not change the amplitude range. When this command is issued, the amplitude range itself will not change. The default value is ON. That is, sending :SENS:POW:RANG:AUTO is equivalent to sending :SENS:POW:RANG:AUTO ON.
