This section provides an alphabetical listing of the commands (mnemon

436A Emulation mode. The emulation mode is set through the front panel
SYSTEM|Rear Panel|GPIB|MODE menu (see Chapter 4, Operation) or
through the GPIB command EMUL (page 6-96).
HP Emulation commands must not
have a space between the command

Set sensor operating range
Remarks:
Range 5 is the highest power range, range 1 the lowest. (These are the
opposite to the ML2430A native mode ranges; that is, HP 436 range 5 sets
to ML2430A range 1, and HP 436 range 4 to ML2430A range 2, etc.)
When the ML2430A is being used to emulate the HP 436, the ranges are
reversed; that is, HP 436 range 1 (the lowest power range) is equivalent to
the ML2430A range 5, and HP 436 range 5 (the highest power range) is
equivalent to the ML2430A range 1. Refer to page 4-6 for more information
on sensor ranges.
9 Auto range

measurement.
