OUTPUT
718;"MEASURE
SR;"
Activates stimulus-response mode.
OUTPUT
718;"SRCPWR

Sets power level of source output to -10
dBm.
OUTPUT
718;"SP
0;"
Sets span to 0 Hz.
OUTPUT 718;"SRCPSWP
IODB;"
Sweeps source output from -10 dBm to 0
dBm.
Description
The SRCPSWP command works in conjunction with the SRCPWR (source power) command to
sweep the amplitude level of the source output. The SRCPWR setting determines the amplitude
level at the beginning of the sweep. The SRCPSWP command determines the change in
amplitude level of the sweep.
For example, if SRCPWR and SRCPSWP are set to -15
dBm
and 4
dB
respectively, the source
sweeps from
-
15
dBm
to
-
11
dBm.
