BTS Master Programming Manual : TDSCDMA 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 (i.e. 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:DEMod:CDPData?
Title
Read Demodulator Code Domain Data
Description
Triggers a new measurement and returns the Slot Power, DwPTS Power, Channel Power RRC, Frequency Error in Hz, Frequency Error in PPM, EVM RMS, EVM Peak, RMS Phase Error, Carrier Feed Through, DwPTS EVM, DwPTS PCDE, CDP Noise Floor, CDP Threshold, Tau, Selected Slot, Sync DL Code, Scrambling Code, Max Users, Spread Factor, Data Modulation Type, Scrambling Code 1, Scrambling Code 2, Scrambling Code 3, and Scrambling Code 4 measurement results. It is a combination of the following commands :ABORt; :INITiate; :FETCh:DEMod:CDPData?
In order for the data to be accurate, the Code Domain Power measurement must be the active measurement (specified by :CONFigure:DEMod CDPData). The current measurement can be queried using :CONFigure?
Data is returned as 24 comma‑delimited values: Slot Power in dBm, DwPTS Power in dBm, Channel Power RRC in dBm, Freq Error in Hz, Freq Error in PPM, EVM RMS percentage, EVM Peak in percentage, RMS Phase Error in percentage, Carrier Feed Through in dB, DwPTS EVM in percentage, DwPTS PCDE in dB, CDP Noise Floor in dB, CDP Threshold hold in dB, Tau in nanoseconds, Sync DL Code in unitless number, Scrambling Code in unitless number, Max User in unitless number, Spread Factor in dB, Data Modulation Type (0 = Noise, 1 = QPSK, 2 = 8PSK, 3 = 16QAM), Scrambling Code 1 in dB, Scrambling Code 2 in dB, Scrambling Code 3 in dB, and Scrambling Code 4 in dB. All invalid values are replaced with “‑‑”.

Title
Read OTA Pilot Scan
Description
Sets the active measurement to Pilot Scan, sets the default measurement parameters, triggers a new measurement and returns DwPTS Power and Pilot Dominance. It is a combination of the following commands :ABORt; :INITiate; :FETCh:OTA? In order for the data to be accurate, the Pilot Scan must be the active measurement (specified by :CONFigure:OTA). The current measurement can be queried using :CONFigure?
Data is returned as 2 comma‑delimited values: DwPTS Power in dBm, and Pilot Dominance in dBm. All invalid values are replaced with “‑‑”.
