General purpose commands are used to set/read the general settings of the sensor. These commands are not mode or trigger dependent. All of the commands for the MA24105A and MA24106A sensors are confined to this section. Most of the commands in this section are compatible with the MA24x08A, MA24x18A, MA24126A and MA243x0A sensors.
Note
For successful remote operations ensure:
• Usage of Remote commands are performed in correct sequence, modes based on the ‘Description.
• Read the ‘Return Value’ completely from the power sensor.
Example some commands expect user to read ‘ok’ or data from a query command or the complete buffer, based on the data size set (e.g. RDBUF, BUFFER_READ_FULL).
START
Description:
Sets the sensor to measurement mode from the idle mode.
Syntax:
START +LF
Return Value:
OK
Remarks:
This command starts a MA241xxA sensor measuring, if it is in HOLD mode. The MA241xxA sensors default setting is HOLD mode. Therefore, the first command sent to the sensor is typically START. If the sensor is already in RUN mode, then no change will occur when using the START command - although an OK response will still be sent.
The MA242x8A and MA243x0A sensors' default setting is RUN mode. If the sensors are in HOLD mode, START is not the command to change the mode to RUN. This is accomplished using the CHOLD command. The START command will be accepted, but no action will be taken.
Note: MA242x8A and MA243x0A sensors do not need START command to start as they start in run mode by default. Sending command to MA242x8A and MA243x0A doesn’t do anything but returns OK for compatibility reasons and not break existing programs. If MA242x8A and MA243x0A is in HOLD mode it will still stay in HOLD mode. To change MA242x8A and MA243x0A sensors from HOLD to RUN mode, CHOLD command should be used.
This command should be sent before exiting the application. MA242x8A and MA243x0A models do not change the power sensor to Idle Mode, this can be achieved using CHMOD command. MA242x8A and MA243x0A does not change the mode to HOLD, this can be achieved using CHOLD command.

PWR?
Description:
Gets the current power reading (in dBm) from the sensor output buffer in the Continuous Average mode.
Syntax:
PWR? +LF
Return Value:
Power value in dBm or ERR On the MA24105A, two values (Forward and Reverse power value in dBm) are returned. The return value for this reading is a comma separated value (for example; return value “2.55,–0.228” means the forward power is +2.55 dBm and the reverse power is – 0.228 dBm).
Remarks:
If an error condition exists, “e” precedes the output and the sensor’s LED turns amber color. For the MA242x8A and MA243x0A models, if an error condition exists, “e” precedes the output and the sensor’s LED blinks green. Use the STATUS? command for details about the error.
This command returns an error (“ERR”) if used in Slot or Scope modes.
This command returns “busy” if used in repeat average mode with immediate trigger (if the sensor has not completed the averaging cycle).
In simple repeat average mode, it will echo the latest value from the buffer. The buffer will update only when the averaging cycle is complete.
In moving average mode, it will return the current power reading in the buffer.

Remarks:

If an error condition exists, the returned power reading values are pre-tagged with the letter “E” and the sensor’s LED turns amber color. The STATUS? command can then be issued to find details about the error.

For the MA243x0A, resolution is 0.000001 GHz (1 kHz) between 0.01 GHz and 50 GHz.
Zeroing the sensor is essential for taking accurate readings as it cancels any offsets in the preamplifiers and channel noise. The sensor should be zeroed without any input RF power. In case of zero failure, the STATUS? command can be used to retrieve more detail about the error.
For the MA24105A, zeroing the sensor takes approximately 75 seconds to complete and will take at least this long to get a response from the sensor.
For all other models, zeroing the sensor takes approximately 25 seconds to complete and will take at least this long to get a response from the sensor.

This command is used to read out the entire array of points for the recent measurement run from the sensor output buffer. The output buffer contains readings from Scope and Time Slot modes for the MA242x8A power sensor and Scope mode only for the MA243x0A power sensor. Time Slot mode is not applicable to the MA243x0A.
The power readings are in mW. For the MA241xxA power sensors, each power reading has six digits after the decimal point (0.000001 mW). For the MA242x8A and MA243x0A power sensors, each power reading has seven digits after the decimal point (0.0000001 mW)
