various parameters for each carrier.
Key Path: Meas Setup
Remote Command:
There is no equivalent remote command.
Carriers
Specifies the number of carriers to be measured.
Key Path: Meas Setup, Carrier Setup
Factory Preset: 4
Range: 2 to 12
Remote Command:
[:SENSe]:MCPower:CARRier:COUNt<integer>
[:SENSe]:MCPower:CARRier:COUNt?
Example:
MCP:CARR:COUN 10
MCP:CARR:COUN?
Ref Carrier
Specifies the carrier (identified by a numeric position) from which all relative power
measurements will be made. When Ref Carrier is set to Auto, the N8201A selects the
carrier with the highest power as the reference.
Key Path: Meas Setup, Carrier Setup
Key Notes: The carrier must have power present in order to be assigned as a reference
carrier frequency. If you change the reference carrier’s power present value from “yes” to
“no”, the next carrier to the left (or to the right, if there are none to the left) will be assigned
as the reference carrier. If it currently has power present set to No, this will change to Yes.
This is also true when there are only two carriers with a “yes” value. Refer to the “Carrier
Pwr Present” key description for more information on setting the carrier power present
value.
