Name

Description

Function

Auto Cal

Performs a multi-point sensor gain calibration of the selected sensor with the internal calibrator. This method is not valid for 55 Series USB power meters.

Function

Auto Cal Query

Performs a multi-point sensor gain calibration of the selected sensor with the internal calibrator and returns true if successful. This method is not valid for 55 Series USB power meters.

Function

Enable Capture Priority

Sets the 55 series power meter to a buffered capture mode and disables real time processing.

Function

Fixed Cal

Performs a calibration at a fixed frequency and level.

Function

Fixed Cal Query

Performs a calibration at a fixed frequency and level and returns true if successful.

Function

Get Average

Set or return the number of traces averaged together to form the measurement result on the selected channel.

Function

Get Bandwidth

Set or return the sensor video bandwidth for the selected sensor.

Function

Get Current Temp

Return current sensor internal temperature in degrees C

Function

Get Enabled

Set or return the measurement state of the selected channel. When the value is true, the channel performs measurements; when the value is false, the channel is disabled and no measurements are performed.

Function

Get Filter State

Set or return the current setting of the integration filter on the selected channel.

Function

Get Filter Time

Set or return the current length of the integration filter on the selected channel.

Function

Get Firmware Version

Returns the firmware version of the power meter associated with this channel.

Function

Get Mem Chan Archive

Returns an XML document containing settings and readings obtained using the SaveToMemoryChannel method.

Function

Get Model

Model number of the meter connected to the specified channel.

Function

Get Peak Hold Decay

Set or return the number of min/max traces averaged together to form the peak hold measurement results on the selected channel.

Function

Get Peak Hold Tracking

Sets or returns whether peak hold decay automatically tracks trace averaging. If set to true, the peak hold decay and trace averaging values are the same. If set to false, peak hold decay is indepedent.

Function

Get Serial Number

Serial number of the sensor.

Function

Get Units

Set or return units for the selected channel. Voltage is calculated with reference to the sensor input impedance. Note that for ratiometric results, logarithmic units will always return dBr (dB relative) while linear units return percent.

Function

Load Mem Chan From Archive

Loads the named memory channel using the given archive. If the memory channel does not exist, one is created.

Function

Save To Memory Channel

Saves the given channel to a memory channel. If the memory channel does not exist, a new one is created.

Function

Save User Cal

Instructs power meter to save the value of fixed cal, zero, and skew values.

Function

Set Average

Set or return the number of traces averaged together to form the measurement result on the selected channel.

Function

Set Bandwidth

Set or return the sensor video bandwidth for the selected sensor.

Function

Set Enabled

Set or return the measurement state of the selected channel. When the value is true, the channel performs measurements; when the value is false, the channel is disabled and no measurements are performed.

Function

Set Filter State

Set or return the current setting of the integration filter on the selected channel.

Function

Set Filter Time

Set or return the current length of the integration filter on the selected channel.

Function

Set Peak Hold Tracking

Sets or returns whether peak hold decay automatically tracks trace averaging. If set to true, the peak hold decay and trace averaging values are the same. If set to false, peak hold decay is indepedent.

Function

Set Units

Set or return units for the selected channel. Voltage is calculated with reference to the sensor input impedance. Note that for ratiometric results, logarithmic units will always return dBr (dB relative) while linear units return percent.

Function

Zero Channel

Performs a zero offset null adjustment.

Function

Zero Query

Performs a zero offset null adjustment and returns true if successful.
