SCPI COMMAND SUMMARY

the sweep mode then the output level is controlled by the start, stop, center and span functions. If in the fixed power mode then the output is controlled by the POW C: LEVEL1 command. The *RST value is FIXed.

POWer:OFFSet <num>[DB]lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN

POWer:OFFSet? [MAXimumlMINimum]

Sets and queries the power offset. This function changes mapping of absolute power parameters on input to and output from the synthesizer. Changing this does not affect the output power of the synthesizer. Only the displayed parameters and query responses are changed. The equation implied by this is:

The entered or displayed power = Hardware Power + Offset After *RST, the value is 0.

POWer:OFFSet:STATe ONlOFFlllO

POWer:OFFSet:STATe?

Queries and turns the power offset off and on. After *RST, the setting is OFF.

POWer:RANGe <num>[lvl suffix] lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN

POWer:RANGe?

Sets and queries the setting of the power meter range. This is used

when the command POWer:ALC:SOURce issettoPMETer.

POWer:SEARch ONlOFFlllOlONCE

POWer:SEARch?

Sets and queries the power search switch. This has an interaction

with POWer:ALC:STATe as described below.

POWer:ALC:STATe

POWer:SEARch

Power Switch Action

ON

ON

ALC is momentarily closed to

 

 

level at the requested power,

 

 

and then the modulator is set to

 

 

the same voltage in open loop

 

 

mode. This repeats automatically

 

 

any time that the power level or

 

 

frequency is changed.

ON

OFF

Normal mode.

ON

ONCE

Immediately performs a power

 

 

search. This leaves POWer:SEARch

 

 

in the ON position.

OFF

not applicable

Modulator setting is

 

 

explicitly set by user.

 

 

 

POWer:SLOPe <num>[DB/freq suffix]lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN

POWer:SLOPe? [MAXimumlMINimuml

Sets and queries the RF slope setting (dB per Hz).
