DTP Trace Mode

Sets and queries DTP trace mode

NORMal = normal

MAXHold = max trace hold

None – Returns error

To set DTP trace mode to normal:

Setup, Normal -> A / Max Hold -> A

DTP Display Top and Bottom

Sets and queries DTP display magnitude

top/bottom magnitude

top = 0, bottom = 260

None – Returns error

To set the DTP display top to 10 dB:

Amplitude, Top/Bottom

PIM Master Enhanced Resolution

This feature estimates the location of PIM sources on the measurement trace and displays up to 4 vertical impulse bars from bottom of measurement grid to point on measurement trace that indicates a predicted PIM source location. This is useful for resolving PIM sources that are physically close together.

To set Enhanced Resolution to On:

Setup, Enhanced Resolution

PIM vs. Time Trace Mode.

Low Noise provides improvement in measurement range. Fast provides faster measurement updates (measurements per second). The query returns FAST or LOWN (LOWNoise).

FAST, Averaging is minimum

LOWNoise, Averaging is maximum

To set the PIM Master measurement for maximum averaging:

Setup, Trace Mode

PIM vs. Time Auto Range

Sets and queries the Auto Range condition for PIM vs. Time measurement.

None

0|OFF, Auto Ranging is OFF

1|ON, Auto Ranging is ON

To set the PIM Master for Auto Range:

Amplitude, Auto Range

PIM Master Frequency Setup

Sets the PIM vs. Time frequencies, calculates the IMx Order frequency, and sets the instrument to display the corresponding IMx frequency.

Frequency in MHz

Hz

PIM Master option dependent (for a list of ranges, refer to Table: PIM Master Carrier Bands and Frequencies)

To set the PIM vs. Time frequency F2 for 1990 MHz:

Freq, Carrier F1|Carrier F2

Measurement Receiver / PIM Master Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) Order Setup

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.

3

3, 5, and 7 are the only acceptable values.

To set the measurement receiver for the 5th order IMD:

Sets the measurement receiver center frequency to the 5th order IMD.

Freq, Intermod Order

Option MW82119A‑0700 High/Low IMD frequency band selection

Sets the receive IMD measurement frequency band only for the LTE‑based 700 MHz options. The command and the query are ignored by MW82119A PIM Masters with other instrument options.

None

To set the measurement receiver to High Band:

PIM vs. Time and Swept PIM:

 Freq, High/Low Band Select

Distance‑to‑PIM:

 Distance, High/Low Band Select

PIM Analyzer Current Measurement Status

The query returns the current measurement status of the measurement receiver/PIM Analyzer measurement system. Because the measurement system can run for the maximum time duration, the query serves to indicate if the measurement is still in process. This command works with any of the available measurement modes: PIM vs. Time, DTP, and Swept PIM.

0, Measurement is OFF
1, Measurement is ON

Measurement Receiver Measured Value From PIM Master Measurement Setup

The query returns an intermodulation measured value in both dBc and dBm.

dBc/dBm

N/A. Intermodulation distortion value is displayed in the lower measurement box as “PIM”.

PIM Analyzer Mode, Set or Request

Puts the system into either PIM vs. Time (PIM), Swept PIM (PIMSwp), or Distance‑to‑PIM (DTP) measurement mode. The query reports the current system mode.

PIM (PIM vs. Time)
PIMSwp (Swept PIM)
DTP (Distance‑to‑PIM)

None

To set the PIM Analyzer mode to measure Distance‑to‑PIM:

To query the state of the PIM Analyzer system:

Measurements, PIM|Distance-to-PIM|Swept PIM

PIM Analyzer Output Power

Sets the deliverable output (in dBm) from the PIM Analyzer to the system under test.

dBm input with 0.1 dBm resolution

None, returns error

25 dBm to 46 dBm

To set the PIM Analyzer output power to 43.5 dBm:

PIM vs. Time and Swept PIM: Setup, PIM Aid, Output Power

PIM vs. Time and Swept PIM: Freq, PIM Aid, Output Power

DTP: Distance, DTP Aid, Output Power

DTP: Setup, DTP Aid, Output Power

PIM vs. Time – Set RF Out On/Off

This controls whether the RF is ON during a measurement, which corresponds to Normal and Noise Floor PVT measurements.

ON|OFF

25 dBm to 46 dBm

To turn on RF:

Measurements, PIM vs. Time, Test

Swept PIM Analyzer Sweep Span View

In Swept PIM measurement mode, sets the Frequency Span to either the licensed range associated with the option (IM) or to the widest span capability between the Fixed F1 and Fixed F2 displayed sweeps (RX). The query command returns either IM or RX.

To set the span view to IM:

Freq, Span Type

PIM Analyzer Swept PIM Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) Order Setup

Sets the measurement receiver center frequency to receive one of the following IMDs from the PIM Analyzer measurement system: 3/5/7. The query command returns the possible strings “3rd”, “5th”, and “7th”, depending on the current selection of IMD Order.

3, 5, and 7 are the only acceptable values.

To set the measurement receiver center frequency to the 5th order IMD:

Freq, Intermod Order

PIM Test Measurement Test Duration

Sets the amount of time in seconds the PIM Master will be on for intermodulation distortion measurements.
