PowerSensorAsReceiver Object


Description

Provides the settings for configuring a Power Meter to be used as a VNA Receiver (PMAR).

Accessing a PowerSensorAsReceiver object

This object is accessed through ExternalDevice.ExtendedProperties. When an external device is added to the ExternalDevices collection, and the DeviceType property is set to Power Meter, then ExtendedProperties is used to get a handle to this object.

externalDevices.Add "NewPMAR"

dim newExternalDevice

Set newExternalDevice = externalDevices.Item("NewPMAR")

newExternalDevice.DeviceType = "Power Meter"

dim PMAR

Set PMAR = newExternalDevice.ExtendedProperties

PMAR.ReadingsPerPoint = 10
