Guidelines for Operation
Reading back the measurement, instrument function, or data
function state
Use the query form of the command, STATe?, to determine the current
state of a measurement, instrument function or data function. If a
measurement, instrument function, or data function is queried, the
returned value will be either a “1” (ON) or a “0” (OFF).
For example, the following BASIC language statements illustrate the
use of the STATe? command to determine the current state of the TX
Power measurement:
Example 3-32 Example
!Query the state of the TX Power measurement
OUTPUT 714;"MEAS:RFR:POW:STAT?"
ENTER 714;State_on_off
IF State_on_off = 1 THEN DISP "TX Power Measurement is ON"
IF State_on_off = 0 THEN DISP "TX Power Measurement is OFF
