[SENSe<Ch>:]POWer:GAINcontrol
<ReceiverName>, <Mode>
[SENSe<Ch>:]POWer:GAINcontrol?
<ReceiverName>
Defines port-specific gain settings.
Note:
●
Without the
option only the gain of the measurement receiv-
ers (the b-waves) can be statically set (to LNOise or LDIStortion); the reference
receiver always uses automatic gain control (AUTO). With the option available, also
the gain of the reference receivers (the a-waves) can be set statically.
●
If you also want to distinguish between different sweep segments, use
Suffix:

Channel number
Parameters:
<Mode>
LNOise | LDIStortion | AUTO
AUTO
–
automatic/adaptive gain control (AGC) according to the
RF input level.
LNOise
–
fixed, large IF gain, for low input levels.
LDIStortion
–
fixed, small IF gain, for high input levels.
Parameters for setting and query:
<ReceiverName>
String parameter defining the wave(s) followed by the drive port;
see examples below and
Example:
*RST; :SENSe:POWer:GAINcontrol:GLOBal MANual
Activate independent AGC settings for each drive port.
SENSe:POWer:GAINcontrol 'B2D1', LNO
Set the ACG for the received wave b
2
(port 2) to "Low Noise". The
setting applies while port 1 is the drive port.
SENSe:POWer:GAINcontrol 'A2B2B3D2', LNO
Set the ACG for the waves a
2
, b
2
, and b
3
to "Low Noise". The
setting applies while port 2 is the drive port.
SENSe:POWer:GAINcontrol? 'B1D2'
Query the ACG setting for the wave b
1
while port 2 is the drive
port. The response is
1, LDIS
(default setting).
Manual operation:
See
[SENSe<Ch>:]POWer:GAINcontrol:GLOBal
<AGCModesGlobal>
Globally configures the gain control in all receive paths (measurement receivers, b-
waves) for all analyzer ports or enables port-specific gain control configuration.
