TTL modulation
In the TTL modulate mode the output power can be switched between two levels by
applying a TTL compatible (
0 V
and
5 V
) external control voltage. The lower level is set by
the PO= command and the higher level by P= . If a level larger than the maximum output
power is specified for
P=
or a level larger than the
P=
value is specified for
PO=
, the value
is decreased to the maximum value.
