CALL:TOTal:POWer

Function

Queries the total RF power settings for the current system type.

Total RF power is the sum of cell power level and AWGN power level.

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that this query applies to the current system type.

The return value for this query is not necessarily the power level being transmitted by the test set at the moment this command is processed by the test set. It may return a value that the test set has been requested to transmit, but that has been pended or delayed for some reason. See Troubleshooting Setting Power Levels for possible causes. To query the power level the test set is transmitting at the moment the command is sent, use the CALL:STATus:TOTal:POWer[:AMPLitude][:SELected]? command.

Query

Range:

• -170 dBm/1.23 MHz to +42 dBm/1.23 MHz, 9.91 E+37
  (-120 dBm/1.23MHz to -10.88 dBm/1.23 MHz actual hardware range with amplitude offset = 0)
  
  The actual power range is defined by adding the value of the associated Amplitude Offset to the range shown above. See Cell Power, AWGN Power and Total RF Power Ranges .

Resolution: 0.01 dB

*RST Setting

-55 dBm (this is a calculated value and its default will depend of the defaults of those parameters it is calculated from.)

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:TOTAL:POWER:AMPLITUDE?"

Function

Queries the total RF power state for the current system type.

The total RF power state is 1 (on) if either cell power or AWGN power is on.

The return value for this query is not necessarily the total power state at the moment this command is processed by the test set. This command may return a state that has been requested of the test set, but that has been pended or delayed for some reason. See Troubleshooting Setting Power Levels for possible causes. To query the power state of the test set at the moment, use the CALL:STATus:TOTal:POWer:STATe[:SELected]? command.

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that this query applies to the current system type.

Range: 1|0
