Name

Description

Corrections

Provides access to calibration and user corrections.

CurrentTemp

Return current sensor internal temperature in degrees C

Display

The Display interface provides access to vertical/horizontal scaling and offset properties.

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.

FirmwareVersion

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

FPGAVersion

Returns the FPGA version for the power meter associated with this channel.

HardwareStatus

The HardwareStatus interface provides access to diagnostic, measurement, and acquistion status information.

MarkerMeasurements

Provides access to marker measurements.

Measurements

The Measurements interface provides access to CW, waveform, and automatic measurements.

Model

Model number of the meter connected to the specified channel.

PulseDefinitions

The PulseDefinitions interface contains properties for adjusting how automatic pulse measurements are calculated. Measurements such as rise time, fall time, and pulse width are affected by these adjustments.

RawIO

The RawIO interface provides acces to methods for sending and receiving data directly from USB.

Sense

The purpose of the Sense interface is to configure device specific settings used to make measurements, generally parameters related to the RF power sensor and signal processing. These properties and methods are used to configure the power meter for acquiring data. Sense enables you to change measurement parameters such as filtering or averaging, sensor bandwidth, operating frequency and calfactors, and measurement gain or offset.

SensorInfo

The SensorInfo interface provides data about the sensor.

SerialNumber

Serial number of the sensor.

StatisticalMode

Provides access to statistical mode measurements and settings.

TriggerAdjust

Provides trigger skew adjustments. These adjustments can be stored in the USB power meter by calling the SaveUserCal method.

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.

Name

Description

AutoCal

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.

AutoCalQuery

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.

EnableCapturePriority

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

FixedCal

Performs a calibration at a fixed frequency and level.

FixedCalQuery

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

SaveUserCal

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

SetTrigOutMode

Sets the trigger out/mult io mode. Setting trigger mode overrides this command.

Zero

Performs a zero offset null adjustment.

ZeroQuery

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