Response message: 50 to 600 (ohms)
Description
This command is used to specify the dBm reference impedance level. When dBm units is select-
ed ACV dBm measurements will be made using the specified dBm reference impedance.
The reference impedance is specified in ohms and is not range dependent. For example, a dBm
reference level of 600 is 600
Ω
on all ACV measurement ranges. Specifying a value that is not
listed above will be rounded to the nearest valid value.
Programming example
10 OUTPUT 716; “:unit:volt:ac:dbm:imp 600; imp?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Two commands in this program message; the first sets the dBm reference impedance
to 600
Ω
, and the second queries the reference impedance.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the reference impedance (600).
