I am a first time user of the E4443A and GPIB programming. When performing a spectrum measurement with a 750.123MHz input signal the result string is +7.5012300000000000E+00. How do I scale the output string? I will be making various measuements of my device from 40MHz to 1200MHz so I would like a proper technique.

Here is my command string:

E4443A instrument catalog "SA,PNOISE
E4443A ID Agilent Technologies, E4443A, MY44300377, A.09.1
E4443A instrument selection S
E4443A system options "1DS,226,266
E4443A configuration "SANalyzer

GPIB instruction INSTrument:SELect SA
No errors from spectrum analyzer instrument A

GPIB instruction :SENS:FREQ:CENT 750.123MHz
No errors from spectrum analyzer instrument A

GPIB instruction :SENS:FREQ:SPAN 5MHz
No errors from spectrum analyzer instrument A

GPIB instruction :SENS:FEED RF
No errors from spectrum analyzer instrument A

GPIB instruction :CALC:MARK:PEAK:THR -70
No errors from spectrum analyzer instrument A

GPIB instruction :CALC:MARK:PEAK:EXC 0
