CALL[:CELL]:POWer[:SAMPlitude][:SELected]

Function

GSM TA

This command sets/queries the Cell Power for the active (that is the selected) format and turns the state to ON.

This is a complex command combining the cell power state and amplitude commands. The cell power state is automatically set to ON when this command is used.

The suffix dBm is optional.

The Cell Power is affected when there is an amplitude offset (see Amplitude Offset ).

The power level of the TCH is also affected by the setting of this command.
However, the TCH level is also affected by other settings
(see CALL:(PDTCH|PDTChannel):PREDuction:LEVel<1|2> ). TCH burst power = BCH power - (PRL1 | PRL2).

GPRS TA


This command sets/queries the Cell Power for the active (that is the selected) format and turns the state to ON.

This is a complex command combining the cell power state and amplitude commands. The cell power state is automatically set to ON when this command is used.

The suffix dBm is optional.

The power level of the PDTCH is also affected by the setting of this command. However, the PDTCH level is also affected by other settings (see Configuring the Packet Data Traffic Channel (PDTCH) ).

The Cell Power is affected when there is an amplitude offset (see Amplitude Offset ).
