Programming a specific value for POWer : AMPLif ier : STATE sets POWer:AMPLifier:STATE:AUTOto OFF.

POWer:AMPLifier:STATE:AUTO ONlOFFlOll

POWer:AMPLifier:STATE:AUTO?

Sets and queries the automatic selection of the doubler amplifier state. Programming a specific value for POWer : AMPLif ier : STATE sets POWer:AMPLifier:STATE:AUTO to OFF.*RSTvalue is ON.

POWer:ATTenuation <num>[DB] lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN

POWer : ATTenuat ion? [MAXimum 1 MINimum]

Sets and queries the output attenuation level. Note that when setting the attenuator level to 10 dB the output power is decreased by 10 dB. Programming a specified attenuation sets POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO OFF.

POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO ONlOFFlllO

POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO?

Sets and queries the state of the RF attenuator coupling switch. Programming a specified attenuation sets

POWer : ATTenuat ion : AUTO OFF.

ON - insures that the amplitude level of the ALC is kept within optimal limits.

OFF - the attenuator setting is set to the value of POW :ATT and left there. The “RST value is ON.

POWer:CENTer <num> [lvl suffix] lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN

POWer:CENTer? [MAXimumlMINimuml

Sets and queries the center power for power sweep. Default units (and units for query response) are determined by the UNIT:POWer command.

The coupling equations for power sweep are exactly analogous to those for frequency sweep. Power sweep is allowed to be negative, unlike frequency sweeps. See FREQ : CENT for a description. *RST value is 0 dBm.

POWer[:LEVel] <num>Clvl suffix] lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN

POWer [ : LEVel] ? [MAXimum 1 MINimum]

Sets and queries the output level. Default units and units for the query response are determined by the UNIT:POWer command. Maximum and minimum levels refer to the leveling mode at the time the command is sent. For example, *RST;POWer : LEVel MIN; ALC : SOURce MMHead has different effects from *RST;POWer:ALC:SOURceMMHead; POWer:LEVel MIN After *RST, the value is 0 dBm.

POWer:MODE FIXedlSWEep

POWer:MODE?

Sets and queries the setting of the power sweep mode switch. If in
