Measurement Setup 15
Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz 351
Burst Width
Sets the burst width parameter to automatic mode (Auto) or manual mode (Man).
Auto The burst width is automatically calculated based on the threshold level. For
example, if the threshold level is set to 3 dB, the burst width will be the time between the
two 3 dB points. This will update after each sweep, but before any results are calculated.
Since the measurement only measures over the burst width, this will force a measurement
between the 3 dB points.
Man The burst width used for computing the burst power is controlled by either entering
it directly or as a percentage of the measured burst width. In the percentage case, the burst
width is computed just once based on the most recent measured burst width. In either
case, the burst width is centered on the observed burst in each measurement.
This key will be grayed out if Meas Method is set to Above Threshold Lvl.

Remote Command:
[:SENSe]:BPOWer:BURSt:WIDTh <time>
[:SENSe]:BPOWer:BURSt:WIDTh?
[:SENSe]:BPOWer:BURSt:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1
[:SENSe]:BPOWer:BURSt:AUTO?
Remote Command Notes:
Burst width cannot be set remotely as a percent of the current burst width. That
functionality is available from the front panel, but the command must be sent with a time
value.
