SETup:PVTime:RANGing[:MODE]

Function

GSM TA

This command sets/queries the ranging mode for the power versus time measurement.

When set to High Linearity Mode (HLINearity), the hardware ranges for measuring the second burst such that the first burst never overranges the hardware by more than 20 dB. This will prevent overshoot sufficiently but it also reduces the dynamic range (since this solution lifts the noise floor). This High Linearity Mode results in less dynamic range.When set to High Dynamic Range Mode (HDynamic), the hardware is ranged when measuring the second burst based on its expected power level. Consequently the burst is optimal with regards to dynamic range but a large overrange (due to the first burst) will effect the amplitude accuracy at the beginning of the useful part of the second burst (This may result in an Overshoot condition).
