150 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
command: :INPut[n][: CHANnel[m]]:OFF Set:POWermeter
syntax: :INPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:OFFSet:POWermeter<wsp ><slot>,<channel>
description: Sets the offset factor (αOffset ) to the difference between a power value measured by another
powermeter (host ed by the same mainframe) ( Pext ) and the power value measured by the
attenuator module’s monitor diode (Patt ).
α Offset (dB) = Patt (dBm) - Pext (dBm)
parameters: <slot>
<channel>
Slot number of the external powermeter.
Channel number of the external powermeter.
response: none
example: INP1:OFFS:POW 4,2
affects: Attenuator modules with powe r control.
command: :INPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:ATTenuation:SPEed
syntax: :INPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:ATTenuation:SPEed<wsp><value> | MIN | MAX | DEF
description: Sets the filter transition speed; the speed at which the module moves from one attenuation to
another (in dBs).
parameters: <value>
MIN | MAX | DEF
The filter transition speed in dB/s.
Sets the filter transition speed to the module limi ts, or the module de-
fault.
response: none
example: INP1:ATT:SPE 2
affects: All attenuator modules.
command: :INPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:ATTenuation:SPEed?
syntax: :INPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:ATTenuation:SPEed?<wsp> MIN | M AX | DEF
description: W ithout the optional param eter, queries the transition speed of the filter.
parameters: MIN | MAX | DEF Queries the transition speed lim its, or the module default.
response: 4 byte Intel floating point; tran sition speed in dB/s.
example: INP1:ATT:SPE? 2<END>
affects: All attenuator modules.
