SOURce Subsystem

¶The SOURce subsystem controls the signal characteristics of the tracking generator. Refer also to the “OUTPut Subsystem” on page 267 which contains a command that controls the tracking generator output.

Sets the Output Power Offset Correction

:SOURce:CORRection:OFFSet <rel_ampl>

:SOURce:CORRection:OFFSet?

Specifies an offset for the displayed output power level. An offset power level can be added to the displayed level to compensate for system losses (for example, cable loss) or gains (for example, preamplifier gain.) This offset does not change the power out of the source, it only changes the display so that it reads out the actual power delivered to the device under test.

Access:	Source, Amptd Offset

Source Attenuation

:SOURce:POWer:ATTenuation <ampl>

:SOURce:POWer:ATTenuation?

Attenuates the source output level. Specifically setting :SOURce:POWer:ATTenuation <ampl> sets the mode to manual (:SOURce:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO OFF).

When source attenuation is set to manual

(:SOURce:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO OFF), source amplitude may be set to values beyond actual output levels to accommodate the full range of analyzer capabilities. Therefore, exercise caution when connecting a power-level sensitive device to the tracking generator output.

	EMC E7402A: 8 dB
	EMC E7403A:	8 dB
