CALL:POWer

Function

The setting form of this command performs two functions: (1) sets the desired cell power level (see CALL[:CELL]:POWer:AMPLitude[:SELected] ) and (2) turns the cell power on/off state to on (see CALL[:CELL]:POWer:STATe[:SELected] ). The query form returns the desired cell power level or NAN. (See Cell Power and AWGN Power for more information about desired versus current power levels.)

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the cell power level being set or queried applies to the current system type (see CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE]? ). The cell power settings for the CW operating mode are independent of the cell power settings for the other operating modes.

Setting           

Range: (This is the range of settings accepted, see Cell Power, AWGN Power and Total RF Power Ranges for the actual hardware range of the source)

• FDD: -165 dBm/3.84MHz to +37 dBm/3.84MHz
• CW: -177 dBm to +40 dBm

Resolution: 0.01 dBm/3.84 MHz

Query

Same as setting

*RST Setting

See CALL[:CELL]:POWer:AMPLitude[:SELected] and CALL[:CELL]:POWer:STATe[:SELected] .

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:CELL:POWER:SAMPLITUDE -30"
! Sets the cell power level -30 dBm and turns it on.

Function

Sets/queries the desired cell power level. (See Cell Power and AWGN Power for more information about desired versus current power levels.)

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the cell power level being set or queried applies to the current system type (see CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE]? ). The cell power settings for the CW operating mode are independent of the cell power settings for the other operating modes.

The desired cell power level can also be set using the CALL[:CELL]:POWer[:SAMPLitude][:SELected] command.

Setting

Range: (This is the range of settings accepted, see Cell Power, AWGN Power and Total RF Power Ranges for the actual hardware range of the source)

• FDD: -165 dBm/3.84MHz to +37 dBm/3.84MHz
• CW: -177 dBm to +40 dBm

Resolution: 0.01 dBm/3.84 MHz

Query

Same as setting

*RST Setting

• FDD: -75 dBm/3.84MHz
• CW: -50 dBm

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:CELL:POWER:AMPLITUDE -30" 
!Sets the cell power level -30 dBm.

Function

Sets/queries the cell power state.

The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the cell power state being set or queried applies to the current system type (see CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE]? ). The cell power settings for the CW operating mode are independent of the cell power settings for the other operating modes.

Cell power state can also be set to on using the CALL[:CELL]:POWer[:SAMPLitude][:SELected] command.

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|0

*RST Setting

ON

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:CELL:POWER:STATE OFF" !Turns off cell power.
