class SpcCls

Spc commands group definition. 10 total commands, 2 Subgroups, 8 group commands

get_crange() → float

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:CRANge
value: float = driver.source.power.spc.get_crange()

Defines the capture range of the power control system. Within the range: Target Level +/- Catch Range the power control locks and tries to achieve the target level. Readings outside the range are not considered.

return

pow_cntrl_crange: float Range: 0 to 50

get_delay() → int

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:DELay
value: int = driver.source.power.spc.get_delay()

Sets a waiting time for the generator to adjust the output level. After the delay time has elapsed, the power sensor measures the next value.

return

pow_cntrl_delay: integer Range: 0 to 1000

get_mode() → RsSmbv.enums.SensorModeAll

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:MODE
value: enums.SensorModeAll = driver.source.power.spc.get_mode()

Selects the measurement mode for the power sensor.

return

control_mode: AUTO| SINGle AUTO Measures the level values continuously. SINGle Executes one measurement, triggered by the command [:SOURcehw]:POWer:SPC:SINGle.

get_peak() → bool

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:PEAK
value: bool = driver.source.power.spc.get_peak()

Activates power control by means of the peak power values, provided the power sensor supports this function.

return

pow_cntrl_peak: 1| ON| 0| OFF

get_select() → RsSmbv.enums.PowCntrlSelect

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:SELect
value: enums.PowCntrlSelect = driver.source.power.spc.get_select()

Selects the power sensor used for power control.

return

pow_cntrl_select: SENS1| SENS2| SENS3| SENS4| SENSor1| SENSor2| SENSor3| SENSor4

get_state() → bool

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:STATe
value: bool = driver.source.power.spc.get_state()

Starts power control using the selected sensor. The control loop periodically adjusts the output level of the signal generator. After switching off, the running loop is completed.

return

pow_cntrl_state: 1| ON| 0| OFF

get_target() → float

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:TARGet
value: float = driver.source.power.spc.get_target()

Sets the target level required at the DUT. To define the unit of the power value, use command method RsSmbv.Unit.power.

return

pow_cntrl_target: float Range: -50 to 30

get_warning_py() → bool

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:WARNing
value: bool = driver.source.power.spc.get_warning_py()

Queries if the activated power control works properly. If the power control does not work, the query returns warning state 1. On the screen, the R&S SMBV100B indicates a warning icon.

return

warning_state: 1| ON| 0| OFF

set_crange(pow_cntrl_crange: float) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:CRANge
driver.source.power.spc.set_crange(pow_cntrl_crange = 1.0)

Defines the capture range of the power control system. Within the range: Target Level +/- Catch Range the power control locks and tries to achieve the target level. Readings outside the range are not considered.

param pow_cntrl_crange

float Range: 0 to 50

set_delay(pow_cntrl_delay: int) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:DELay
driver.source.power.spc.set_delay(pow_cntrl_delay = 1)

Sets a waiting time for the generator to adjust the output level. After the delay time has elapsed, the power sensor measures the next value.

param pow_cntrl_delay

integer Range: 0 to 1000

set_mode(control_mode: RsSmbv.enums.SensorModeAll) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:MODE
driver.source.power.spc.set_mode(control_mode = enums.SensorModeAll.AUTO)

Selects the measurement mode for the power sensor.

param control_mode

AUTO| SINGle AUTO Measures the level values continuously. SINGle Executes one measurement, triggered by the command [:SOURcehw]:POWer:SPC:SINGle.

set_peak(pow_cntrl_peak: bool) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:PEAK
driver.source.power.spc.set_peak(pow_cntrl_peak = False)

Activates power control by means of the peak power values, provided the power sensor supports this function.

param pow_cntrl_peak

1| ON| 0| OFF

set_select(pow_cntrl_select: RsSmbv.enums.PowCntrlSelect) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:SELect
driver.source.power.spc.set_select(pow_cntrl_select = enums.PowCntrlSelect.SENS1)

Selects the power sensor used for power control.

param pow_cntrl_select

SENS1| SENS2| SENS3| SENS4| SENSor1| SENSor2| SENSor3| SENSor4

set_state(pow_cntrl_state: bool) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:STATe
driver.source.power.spc.set_state(pow_cntrl_state = False)

Starts power control using the selected sensor. The control loop periodically adjusts the output level of the signal generator. After switching off, the running loop is completed.

param pow_cntrl_state

1| ON| 0| OFF

set_target(pow_cntrl_target: float) → None

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:SPC:TARGet
driver.source.power.spc.set_target(pow_cntrl_target = 1.0)

Sets the target level required at the DUT. To define the unit of the power value, use command method RsSmbv.Unit.power.

param pow_cntrl_target

float Range: -50 to 30
