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

command. The *RST value
is
FIXed.

POWer:OFFSet
<num>[DB]lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN
l
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.
l
POWer:OFFSet:STATe
ONlOFFlllO
l
POWer:OFFSet:STATe?
Queries and turns the power offset off and on. After
*RST,
the
setting is OFF.

lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN
l
POWer:RANGe?
Sets and queries the setting of the power meter range. This is used
when the command
POWer:ALC:SOURce is
settoPMETer.
l
POWer:SEARch
ONlOFFlllOlONCE
l
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.
l
POWer:SLOPe
<num>[DB/freq
suffix]
lMAXimumlMINimumlUPlDOWN
l
POWer:SLOPe?
[MAXimumlMINimuml
Sets and queries the RF slope setting (dB per Hz).
