HP 8360 manual Power Offset, Power Slope

Power Offset

Function Group P O W E R

Menu Map 5

Description This softkey changes the mapping of absolute power parameters on input to the synthesizer. It does not change the RF output produced by the synthesizer. The equation used to determine the displayed value is:

Entered or Displayed Power = Hardware Power (ALC) + Active Offset.

Programming Codes SCPI:

Power Slope

Function Group POWER

Menu Map 5

Description This softkey lets you compensate for system, cable, and waveguide variations due to changes in frequency, by linearly increasing or decreasing power output as the frequency increases. RF slope values may range from -2.50 to i-2.50 dB per GHz. The power at the beginning of the sweep equals the current power level. An asterisk next to the key label indicates that this feature is active.

Programming Codes SCPI:

POWer:SLOPe:STATe ON(OFFIl]O

POWer:SLOPe <num>[DB](MAXimum]MINimum]UP]DOWN

Analyzer: SLl function on, SLO function off. Note that because SL functions in the fundamental units of dB/Hz, you program the SL code SLmdt, where m is 1 (on) or 0 (off); d is the numerical value
