Access Probe Power Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT

If the Access Probe Power measurement is currently selected and the Trigger Arm setting is Continuous, some measurements (i.e. Channel Power, Waveform Quality + Code Domain Power, TX Spurious Emissions and Code Channel Time/Phase Error measurements) can not complete properly. Use the SETup:CAPPower:CONTinuous command to set the trigger arm state to single and retry the measurement.

During remote operation of this measurement, you should configure the Trigger Arm to Single. See SETup:CAPPower:CONTinuous . If single triggering is used during manual operation, press the START SINGLE key to trigger each measurement.

The input signal must conform to Input Signal Requirements .

Access probe power measurement results are affected by the Amplitude Offset value. Use the SYSTem:CORRection:GAIN command to determine offset values.

Access probe power measurements are triggered by a rise in RF power that crosses approximately -55 dBm. See Access Probe Power Measurement Description for details.

Interpreting Integrity Indicator values

See Integrity Indicator .

If over range (5) is returned the input power has exceeded the test set's internal sampler maximum value during some part of the sampling or the input power has exceeded the calibrated range of the test set's power detector.

If under range (6) is returned the measurement result is below the expected input power level. Under range is also indicated if the input power is below the calibrated range of the test set's power detector.

If the signal has both over range and under range conditions, only the over range (5) will be indicated.
