Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"FETCH:PFERROR:ALL?" 
! Returns integrity, maximum RMS phase error, maximum peak phase error and 
! worst frequency error.

FETCh:PFERor:FAIL?

Function

GSM TA

Queries integrity indicator, RMS phase error pass/fail indicator, peak phase error pass/fail indicator, frequency error pass/fail indicator and the number of measurements taken.

The number of measurements taken may be of interest to you if you are using the confidence level feature. For more information on using confidence levels refer to Confidence Levels .

! result, frequency error pass/fail result and the number of measurements made.

FETCh:PFERror:COUNt:TESTed?

Function

GSM TA

Queries the number of measurements taken.

If you are not using the confidence level feature then the value returned, after a successful measurement completes, is the same as that returned by the query of SETup:PFERror:COUNt:NUMBer . However if you are using the confidence level feature then this value may be lower than that set for multi-measurements.
