Title
PIM Master Frequency Setup
Description
Sets the PIM Master LO frequencies, calculates the IMx Order frequency and sets the Anritsu handheld instrument for the corresponding IMx frequency.
Parameter
1930 to 1990 MHz and 2110 to 2155 MHz frequency ranges are valid ranges. Frequency input in Hz.
Default Unit:
Hz
Range:
PIM Master Model MW8219A
Valid ranges are 1930 to 1990 MHz and 2110 to 2155 MHz.
Example
To set the PIM Test frequency F2 for 1990 MHz:
:SENSe:PIManalyzer:FREQuency:F2 1990000000

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
Range
0|Off, Auto Ranging is OFF
1|ON, Auto Ranging is ON
Example
To set the Anritsu handheld instrument for Auto range:
:SENSe:PIManalyzer:AUTorange 1

Title
Measurement Receiver Measured Value From PIM Master Measurement Setup
Description
The query returns an inter modulation measured value in both dBc and dBm.
Parameter:
<amplitude>
Default Unit
dBc/dBm
Front Panel Access
N/A. Inter modulation distortion value is displayed in the lower measurement box as “PIM =”.
:[SENSe:]PIManalyzer:MEASure:STATus?
Title
Measurement Receiver/ PIM Master Current Measurement Status
Description
The query returns the current measurement status of the measurement receiver/PIM Analyzer measurement system. Since the measurement system can run for 60 seconds, the query serves to indicate if the measurement is still in process.
Range
0, Measurement is OFF
1, Measurement is ON
:[SENSe:]PIManalyzer:IMD:ORDer
:[SENSe:]PIManalyzer:IMD:ORDer?
Title
Measurement Receiver / Pim Master Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD) Order Setup
Description
Sets the measurement receiver center frequency to receive one of the following IMDs from the PIM Master measurement system: 3/5/7. The query command returns the possible strings “3rd”, “5th” and “7th” depending on the current selection of IMD Order.
Default Value
3
Range: 3, 5 and 7 are the only acceptable values.
Example
To set the measurement receiver for the 5th order IMD:
:SENSe:PIManalyzer:IMD:ORDer 5
Sets the measurement receiver center frequency to the 5th order IMD.
