FETCh:PVTime[:BURSt[1]][:ALL]?

FETCh:PVTime:BURSt2|3|4|5|6[:ALL]?

Function

GSM

Queries integrity indicator, mask pass/fail indicator, power versus time (PvT) transmit power (average), and PvT power (maximum) at up to 12 time offsets for the burst of the multislot configuration that you specify.

The number of PvT measurement offsets that will be returned can be queried using the SETup:PVTime[:BURSt[1]]:TIME:POINts[:SELected]? . The time offsets are set up using the command SETup:PVTime[:BURSt[1]]:TIME[:OFFSet][:SELected] .

FETCh:PVTime:MASK[:FAIL]:SECTion?

Function

GSM TA

This query returns a pair of mask error codes for the upper and lower mask sections.

The number of pairs returned depends upon the number of bursts within the measurement. The error code represents a bit field with one bit for each section of the mask.

The error codes are:

  • 0 = No Mask Failures
  • 1 (bit 1) = First section of the mask failed
  • 2 (bit 2) = Second section of the mask failed
  • 4 (bit 3) = Third section of the mask failed

    ...

  • -1 (bit 32)= Thirty-second section of the mask failed

The above list shows values which can be returned if any single error occurs. Note that the value returned could indicate a combination of errors. For example, if 5 is returned, this indicates that the first and third sections have caused the failure.

FETCh:PVTime:MASK[:FAIL]:SEGment?

Function

GSM TA

This query returns the mask error code for the entire multislot configuration. This error code indicates which parts, if any are causing the multislot configuration to fail the power versus time mask.

The error codes are:

  • 0 = No Mask Failures
  • 1 (bit 1) = Rising Edge Failure
  • 2 (bit 2) = Falling Edge Failure
  • 4 (bit 3) = Active Part of First Burst
  • 8 (bit 4) = First Guard Period
  • 16 (bit 5) = Active Part of Second Burst
  • 32 (bit 6) = Second Guard Period
  • 64 (bit 7) = Active Part of Third Burst
  • 128 (bit 8) = Third Guard Period
  • 256 (bit 9) = Active Part of Fourth Burst

The above list shows values which can be returned if any single error causes the multislot configuration to fail the mask. (For example, if 4 is returned the failure is due to the active part of the first burst. Note that the value returned could indicate a combination of errors which is causing the multislot configuration to fail. For example, if 9 is returned, this indicates that a rising edge failure and the first guard period has caused the failure.
