Hi All,
I have U2000A USB Power Meter #connected with N5182A MXG Signal Generator. Do you happen to know the right SCPI to trigger `Zero Sensor`?
Manually it is accessed as below,
Key Path: Aux > Power Meter Measurements > Channel A Setup > Zero Sensor
I am using the below manual, but unfortunately it seem not been covered there
Refer: http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/N5180-90004.pdf
Appreciate a hint.
Thanks

Here's a hint...
Have the softkey you want to replicate with a remote command displayed on the instrument, then press Help and the softkey. It will display the help for the key as well as the remote command to do the same.
Regards,
Mike
Hi MikeM,
I followed your hint.
1. For `Frequency` I got the below response. The related SCPIs are shown
.
2. For `Zero Sensor`, I got the below. Can I assume SCPI is not support for this case? I always thought there is a corresponding SCPI for all the keys at the instrument.
Thanks

Sorry about that. When I press the Help on my MXG I get the desired information...
Regards,
Mike
Yeah, it could be MXG dependent. Do you mind sharing your instrument model and firmware version. Just to compare against mine.
Yep, you're right. I was looking at a B model, not an A.
My bad,
Mike
Hi Saravanan,
I pulled this from the Keysight U2000 Series USB Power Sensors Programming Guide.
"
Zeroing adjusts the U2000 Series power sensor for a zero power reading with no power applied to the RF input port.
The command CALibration[1]:ZERO:AUTO [ONCE|ON|OFF|0|1] causes the U2000 Series power sensor to perform its zeroing routine when enabled.
The 1|ON parameter can only be used for internal zeroing. When 1 or ON is specified, zeroing of the U2000 Series power sensor happens automatically:
– when a 5 oC change in temperature occurs
– when the connection to the U2000 Series power sensor is established
– every 24 hours
To perform external zeroing, the command CALibration[1]:ZERO:TYPE EXTernal is used, followed by CALibration[1]:ZERO:AUTO ONCE to start the zeroing process.
"
There are a few other commands you can try out. Use what works for you!
As a reminder for anyone reading this who might not know, brackets [ ], indicate a variable field. They are not to be included when sending the SCPI command.
Hope this helps!
