SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:COLLect[:ACQuire] <char>,<id>[,src][,sync]

Applicable Models: All with VNA ports (Write-only) Initiates a source power cal acquisition sweep using the power sensor attached to the specified channel (A or B) on the power meter, using a USB power sensor, or using the specified VNA receiver. For source power cal, the power meter can NOT be controlled by the VNA using the GPIB Talker/Listener interface. Instead use one of the following methods: If present, use the GPIB dedicated controller port. Connect the power meter to the VNA using a USB / GPIB interface (Keysight 82357A). SCPI programming of the VNA using a LAN Client interface (see example). Send SCPI commands through the COM interface using the SCPI String Parser object. Directly control the Power Meter and VNA to step frequency; then acquire and store the Power reading. (see example). Configure the Power Meter/Sensor as a PMAR Device. Learn how. See SCPI commands.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	Port number to correct for source power. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<char>	Acquisition Choose from: PMETer - Power Meter is used for all readings. PMReceiver - Power meter for the first iteration; then use the reference receiver for remaining readings if necessary (same as "fast iteration" box checked on dialog box) RECeiver - Use VNA measurement receiver for all readings.
<id>	String (Not case sensitive). The power sensor or VNA receiver to use for measuring power. For PMETer or PMRECeiver, choose from: "ASENSOR" or "BSENSOR". For U series USB sensors, always specify "ASENSOR" For RECeiver, choose from: Any VNA receiver to acquire readings using physical or logical receiver notation. Any configured PMAR device name. Learn more about PMAR Devices. See PMAR commands.
[src]	Optional argument. String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports that are not simple numbers, such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.
[sync]	If this argument is specified, must also specify [src]. Choose from: SYNChronous - Blocks SCPI commands during standard measurement (default behavior). ASYNchronous - Does NOT block SCPI commands during standard measurement. Learn more about this argument

SOURce:POWer<port>:CORRection:COLLect:AVERage[:COUNt] <num>

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) This command, along with SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:AVER:NTOLerance, allows for settling of the power sensor READINGS. Note: This command is global and does not depend on a specific channel number. Sets the maximum number of acquisitions that will be used to acquire one settled reading* from the power meter.* These settings affect every use of the power meter (PMAR and source power cal). This setting and corresponding SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:AVER:NTOLerance command only effect the settled reading of the currently selected legacy power meter. Note: To set the COUNT/NTOLerance of a specific PMAR, use the SYST:CONF:EDEV:PMAR:READ:COUNT and SYST:CONF:EDEV:PMAR:READ:NTOLerance commands. Users may want to adjust this number if they know the signal is noisy as these settings set a threshold that determines when the power meter reading is done. Each reading is averaged with the previous readings. When this average meets the Average:NTOLerance value or this number of readings has been made, the average is returned as the valid reading. Learn more.
Parameters
<port>	If provided, this argument is ignored by the VNA.
<num>	Maximum number of readings to make to allow for settling. Choose any number between 3 and 1000.
Examples	// configure the power meter settling (up to 2 acquisitions to produce one settled meter reading) SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:AVER 2 SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:AVER:NTOL .05 // configure the number of (settled) readings to acquire at each frequency point. // 3 settled readings are averaged to produce one bucket of data per frequency SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:ITER 3 SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:ITER:NTOL .005

SOURce:POWer<port>:CORRection:COLLect:AVERage:NTOLerance <num>

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) This command, along with SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:AVER:COUNT, allows for settling of the power sensor READINGS. Note: This command is global and does not depend on a specific channel number. This setting and corresponding SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:AVER:COUNT command only effect the settled reading of the currently selected legacy power meter. Note: To set the COUNT/NTOLerance of a specific PMAR, use the SYST:CONF:EDEV:PMAR:READ:COUNT and SYST:CONF:EDEV:PMAR:READ:NTOLerance commands. Each power reading is averaged with the previous readings. When the average meets this nominal tolerance value or the max number of readings has been made, the average is returned as the valid reading. Learn more.
Parameters
<port>	If provided, this argument is ignored by the VNA.
<num>	Power measurement settling tolerance value in dB. Choose any number between 0 and 5.

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:COLLect:DISPlay[:STATe] <ON | OFF>

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Enables and disables the display of power readings on the VNA screen. Send this command BEFORE you begin a source power cal acquisition. After the source power cal data is acquired, this setting is reset to ON.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	If provided, this argument is ignored by the VNA.
<ON\|OFF>	ON (1) Source power calibration dialog box is shown on the VNA screen. Power readings are plotted against the Tolerance value as limit lines. OFF (0) - Source power calibration dialog box is NOT shown on the VNA screen.
Examples	SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:DISP ON source1:power2:correction:collect:display:state off
Query Syntax	SOURce:POWer:CORRection:COLLect:DISPlay[:STATe]?
Return Type	Boolean (1 = ON, 0 = OFF)
Default	ON (1)

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:COLLect:FCHeck[:STATe] <ON | OFF>

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Enables and disables frequency checking of source power cal acquisition sweeps. ONLY use when you have more than one power sensor.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	If provided, this argument is ignored by the VNA.
<ON\|OFF>	ON (1) turns source power cal frequency checking ON. A requested acquisition will only succeed for those frequency points which fall within a frequency range specified for the power sensor being used. An acquisition will pause in mid-sweep if the frequency is about to exceed the maximum frequency limit specified for that sensor. When the sweep is paused in this manner, a sensor connected to the other channel input of the power meter can be connected to the measurement port in place of the previous sensor, and used to complete the sweep. However, the maximum frequency specified for the second sensor would need to be sufficient for the sweep to complete. Frequency limits are specified using the SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:SEN command. OFF (0) - turns source power cal frequency checking OFF. An acquisition will use just one power sensor for the entire sweep, regardless of frequency.

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:DATA <data>[,src]

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Writes and reads source power calibration data. The effect from this command on the channel is immediate. Do NOT send SOUR:POW:CORR:COLL:SAVE after this command as it may invalidate the uploaded data. When querying source power calibration data, if no source power cal data exists for the specified channel and source port, then no data is returned. If a change in the instrument state causes interpolation and/or extrapolation of the source power cal, the correction data associated with this command correspond to the new instrument state (interpolated and/or extrapolated data). If the channel is sweeping the source backwards, then the first data point is the highest frequency value; the last data point is the lowest. Use the SENS:X:VALues? command to return the X-axis values in the displayed order.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	Port number to correct for source power. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<data>	Correction Data
[src]	String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports that are not simple numbers, such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.
Examples	SOURce1:POWer2:CORRection:DATA 0.12, -0.34, 0.56

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:DATA:PRIor <data>[,src]

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Writes and reads power correction values from the previous iteration of the source power cal. Data for which the first power meter reading were within the tolerance limit, the prior correction value is 0. In all other respects, this command is the same as SOUR:POW:CORR:DATA. This command can be used to determine the final power reading at each point of the power cal, for a cal that did not pass tolerance limits. The formula for determining the power reading (in dB): Power reading = Target power at the source port + specified power cal offset value + prior iteration corr value actual power corr value. The "actual" value in this equation is returned with SOUR:POW:CORR:DATA?
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	Port number to correct for source power. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<data>	Correction Data

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:LEVel[:AMPLitude] <num>[,src]

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Specifies the power level that is expected at the desired reference plane (DUT input or output). This is not used for segment sweep with independent power levels or power sweeps. Note: Although this command still works, it is recommended that you specify cal power by setting the test port power and offset value.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	Port number to correct for source power. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<num>	Cal power level in dBm. Because this could potentially be at the output of a device-under-test, no limits are placed on this value here. It is realistically limited by the specifications of the device (power sensor) that will be used for measuring the power. The power delivered to the VNA receiver must never exceed VNA specifications for the receiver!
[src]	String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports that are not simple numbers, such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:OFFSet[:MAGNitude] <num>[,src]

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Sets or returns a power level offset from the VNA test port power. This can be a gain or loss value (in dB) to account for components you connect between the source and the reference plane of your measurement. For example, specify 10 dB to account for a 10 dB amplifier at the input of your DUT. Cal power is the sum of the test port power setting and this offset value. Following the calibration, the VNA power readouts are adjusted to the cal power.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	Port number to correct for source power. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<num>	Gain or loss value in dB. Choose a value between -200 and 200
[src]	String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports that are not simple numbers, such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection[:STATe] <bool>[,src]

Applicable Models: E505xA with VNA ports (Read-Write) Enables and disables source power correction for the specified port on the specified channel.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number of the source power cal. If unspecified, value is set to 1
<port>	Port number to correct for source power. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<bool>	ON (or 1) turns source power correction ON. OFF (or 0) - turns source power correction OFF.
[src]	String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports that are not simple numbers, such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.
