Hi,
Sometimes it could be beneficial to measure the channel power of a short duration signal only lasting for a couple of ms.
Would it be possible to set a amplitude trigger level to capture such a short duration signal, and then perform a “post” channel power measurement? The same question could also apply to the 99% occupied bandwidth measurement.

For this type of measurement, “zero span” would be the best place. Just set your IF bandwidth to your channel bandwidth, with the signal centered.
If it is a constant amplitude envelope (e.g. FSK, GMSK), a marker anywhere gives you channel power. If not, you could export the zero span data into a CSV, and then (in mW units, not dBm) average the power of each sample within your packet.
I’ll talk to AJ and see if this is something we could add to the next release.
