Spectrum Master Programming Manual : Tracking Generator Commands : :READ Subsystem
 
:READ Subsystem
This set of commands combines the ABORt, INITiate, and FETCh commands. It aborts any current triggering sequence and sets the trigger state to idle. It then initiates a new active measurement (in other words, begins the collection of new data). When the measurement is complete, it returns the result. These commands will not switch to another measurement.
To get the current measurement data, use the FETCh command.
:READ:TGENerator:POWStats?
Title
Read Tracking Generator Absolute Statistics
Description
Triggers a new tracking generator absolute statistic measurement and returns the results.
It is a combination of the commands :ABORT, :INITiate, and :FETCh:TGENerator:POWStats?
The tracking generator absolute statistic measurement must be the active measurement (specified by :CONFigure:GENerator:TRACking POWStats). The current measurement can be queried using :CONFigure?
Data is returned as 3 comma‑separated values: absolute maximum power, absolute minimum power, absolute average power.
Example
To read tracking generator absolute statistics:
:READ:TGEN:POWS?

:READ:TGENerator:TXStats?
Title
Read Tracking Generator Transmission Statistics
Description
(Only valid for Tracking Mode and Normalize On) Triggers a new tracking generator transmission statistics measurement and returns the results.
It is a combination of the commands :ABORT, :INITiate, and :FETCh:TGENerator:TXStats?
The tracking generator transmission statistic measurement must be the active measurement (specified by :CONFigure:GENerator:TRACking TXStats). The current measurement can be queried using :CONFigure?
Data is returned as 3 comma‑separated values: relative maximum power, relative minimum power, relative average power.
