Agilent Technologies E8285A manual Output Atten Hold, Output Heading, Holds the output attenuators

Chapter 4, Description of Fields

Fields

Output Atten Hold

This field, when set to On, prevents the output attenuators in the Test Set from switching in and out, avoiding temporary loss of the output signal as the RF Power level is changed.

•On

•Off

GPIB Example

“RFG:ATT ‘On’”

holds the output attenuators.

Operating Considerations

Always adjust the RF Power level (the sum of Sctr A Pwr, Sctr B Pwr, and AWGN) to the highest power level in the range of values you will be testing before turning Output Atten Hold “On”.

If the RF Power is raised (or lowered) beyond the limits imposed by attenuator settings being held, the Test Set will beep and the error message “ Change RF Gen Amplitude, Output Port or Atten Hold (if on)” will be displayed.

This field is coupled to the Atten Hold field on the analog RX TEST, RF GEN, and DUPLEX TEST screens.
