"Strictly Monotone"
Provides level setting without discontinuities. All electronic switches in
the RF path are clamped. The operation mode is useful for applica-
tions using level searching algorithms.
This mode further reduces the dynamic range of the instrument. The
step attenuator is also fixed.
"Constant-VSWR"
Suppresses output impedance variations at the RF OUT connector
due to changed level setting.
This mode reduces the dynamic range of the instrument. The step
attenuator is fixed.
Remote command:
[:SOURce]:POWer:SCHaracteristic
Level Range
Displays the level range within which the level setting is expected to work properly. The
range limits depend on several parameters like "Mode", "Setting Characteristic", the I/Q
signal's crest factor etc.
Remote command:
Limit
Sets the level limit.
The value specifies the upper limit of the level at the RF OUT connector. A message
appears if an attempt is made to set a level above this limit and the level at the RF out-
put is confined to the upper limit. However, the level indication is not influenced.
Remote command:
[:SOURce]:POWer:LIMit[:AMPLitude]
Readjust
Recalculates the instrument internal settings optimized for the current level. Not
required for automatic modes.
