If the waveform type is CONTinuous or the waveform type is DIScrete and the result type is SAMPle , only the measurement integrity result is valid .When the result type is set to PCAL or BOTH other results are reported as single NaN results.

The values returned by this query are a single integrity result for the measurement followed by a comma separated list of up to 512 measured power values, followed by a comma separated list of up to 512 measured phase values, followed by a comma separated list of up to 512 frequency error results.

The first measured power value is the absolute power level and all subsequent power values are relative to the absolute power. The first phase value is 0° and all subsequent values are phase values relative to the 0° reference.

READ:PFERror[:ALL]:FAIL?

Function

 GSM

Queries (initiates and fetches) one Phase and Frequency Error measurement as a sequential operation.

Returns Integrity Indicator see Integrity Indicator , RMS Phase Error pass/fail indicator, Peak Phase Error pass/fail indicator, Frequency Error pass/fail indicator, and the number of measurements taken. The number of measurements taken may be of interest to you if you are using the confidence level feature. For more information on using confidence levels refer to Confidence Levels .

The FETCh command should be used to obtain other measurement results. See FETCh:PFERror .

Worst frequency error (negative or positive) is the value furthest from zero.
