Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

This measurement returns power results for a group of portions, or steps, from a single capture. It is intended for use with a special waveform which varies the output power in a set of "steps", which are then measured using a single capture.

In the above diagram, the N4010 is set up to trigger at the trigger level shown. The multi-step burst burst consists of five steps, S0-S4, so NumSteps is set to 5.

A trigger delay (1) is set to allow the signal to settle before measurement starts, and the duration of each measurement is set using the MeasurementInterval setting (2). The time period between the start of each measurement (3) is set using MeasurementTimePeriod.

Instrument settings affecting this measurement

• FramesUsed - the number of averages to be made
• Frequency - the center frequency of the measurement
• PowerRange - input power range for hardware
• TriggerStyle - trigger style
• TriggerLevel - trigger level
• TriggerHoldoff - trigger holdoff
• TriggerDelay - trigger delay

Note that the measurement will set the capture length appropriately so that the measurement may run - you do not need to set the capture length.

This measurement does not use the measurement cache, but running the measurement invalidates the measurement cache.
