CALCulate:MEASure:DATA?

(Read-Only) Reads data from the current channel measurement (Channel Power, Occupied Bandwidth, or Adjacent Channel Power).

  • The number of values that are returned depends on the type of channel measurement.

  • The units for the values depend on the currently displayed units.

  • Offsets that are not defined return invalid data.

 

Data is returned in the following format:

Main channel - main channel power in dBm.

Main channel - main channel Power Spectral Density (PSD) in dBm/Hz.

Main channel - relative power to main channel power (this value is always zero).

 

Lower Offset Frequency (1) -  channel power for lower offset 1 in dBm.

Lower Offset Frequency (1) -  PSD for lower offset 1 in dBm/Hz.

Lower Offset Frequency (1) -  relative power of lower ACPR for offset 1 in dBc or dB.

 

Upper Offset Frequency (1) -  channel power for upper offset 1 in dBm.

Upper Offset Frequency (1) -  PSD for upper offset 1 in dBm/Hz.

Upper Offset Frequency (1) -  relative power of upper ACPR for offset 1 in dBc or dB.

 

Lower Offset Frequency (2) -  channel power for lower offset 2 in dBm.

Lower Offset Frequency (2) -  PSD for lower offset 2 in dBm/Hz.

Lower Offset Frequency (2) -  relative power of lower ACPR for offset 2 in dBc or dB.

 

Upper Offset Frequency (2) -  channel power for upper offset 2 in dBm.

Upper Offset Frequency (2) -  PSD for upper offset 2 in dBm/Hz.

Upper Offset Frequency (2) -  relative power of upper ACPR for offset 2 in dBc or dB.

 

Lower Offset Frequency (3) -  channel power for lower offset 3 in dBm.

Lower Offset Frequency (3) -  PSD for lower offset 3 in dBm/Hz.

Lower Offset Frequency (3) -  relative power of lower ACPR for offset 3 in dBc or dB.

 

Upper Offset Frequency (3) -  channel power for upper offset 3 in dBm.

Upper Offset Frequency (3) -  PSD for upper offset 3 in dBm/Hz.

Upper Offset Frequency (3) -  relative power of upper ACPR for offset 3 in dBc or dB.

 

 

For Spectral Emission Mask (SEM):

This returns an array of 68 comma separated Values (index 0 thru index 67)

Value[0]  is  “1” for Overall FAILure, or “0” for PASS

(the next 3 entries are the primary Reference Channel measurement results, seen on-screen by varying MeasType)

Value[1]  is the Total Power integrated for the reference channel

Value[2] is the Power Spectral Density (PSD) of the reference channel

Value[3] is the Spectrum Peak amplitude found in the reference channel

 

(the last 64 entries are 8 per offset, for up to 8 offset segments, beginning with the first offset #1)

(first indeces 4-7 are for the Lower (Negative) side of offset #1)

Value[4] is “1” for FAILure of this segment side  (“0” for PASS)

Value[5] is the peak power (or PSD) value closest to the limit (noted peak, seen as column dBm or dBm/Hz)

Value[6] is the relative dB limit value for the noted peak (power relative to the limit, seen as column dB lim)

Value[7] is the offset frequency for the noted peak (seen as column pk Freq)

 

(next indeces 8-11 are for the Upper (Positive) side of offset #1)

Value[8] is “1” for FAILure of this segment side  (“0” for PASS)

Value[9] is the peak power (or PSD) value closest to the limit (noted peak, seen as column dBm or dBm/Hz)

Value[10] is the relative dB limit value for the noted peak (power relative to the limit, seen as column dB lim)

Value[11] is the offset frequency for the noted peak (seen as column pk Freq)

 

The above 8-pattern repeats, for offset #2 thru offset #8… covering indeces #12 thru #67

If any offset is disabled, or any offset side is restricted, then ZEROs will fill the 4 or 8 Value slots for that segment/side.
