However, the level indication in the status bar is not affected.
Note:
The limit value is always effective, regardless of whether you work with "NRP-Z
Power Control" or not.
The value is not affected by an instrument preset (PRESET key),
*RST
and the "Save/
Recall" function. It is influenced only by the
and the factory value is
equal to maximum level.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:POWer:LIMit[:AMPLitude]
Offset (Level)
Sets the level offset relative to the RF level.
The level offset of a downstream instrument (for example an attenuator or amplifier) is
entered.
The entry does not change the value of the RF level at the RF output. It only changes
the RF level displayed in the display header. The value of the RF level in the header
corresponds to the level at the output of the downstream instrument.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet
Ignore Level Range Warnings
Suppresses warnings the instrument generates when either the level, or the PEP value
are out of range. This function prevents automated measurements from being stopped
due to a level warning.
The following warnings are suppressed in both, the history and in the error queue:
●
Level overrange / level underrange
●
PEP value greater than defined upper bound / PEP value less that defined lower
bound (fix range)

Low Harmonic Filter Settings
In 20 GHz or 40 GHz instruments (option R&S
SMB-B120(L) /-B140(L)), you can install
a low harmonic filter (option R&S
SMB-B25 /-B26), to improve the harmonic perform-
ance.
See the website

sheet for more information on the options available according to the features of your
instrument.
For a fitted low harmonic filter, you can define its operating mode in section "Low Har-
monic Filter" of the "RF Level / EMF" dialog. Otherwise, the section is hidden.
► To access the filter settings, select "RF > Config > RF Level > Low Harmonic Fil-
ter".
