Description

During normal operation, the analyzer’s input attenuation is coupled to the reference level. This coupling keeps the mixer input at a level such that a continuous wave signal displayed at the reference level is at or below -10 dBm (or the value specified in the ML command.)

The CA command sets the threshold to -10 dBm (or to the value specified by the ML command (page 267) or the KS, command (page 179)). The counterpart to the CA command is the AT command

(page 104), which allows levels less than the threshold value at the mixer input.
