2.2 Level Setting
The value of the RF level is displayed in the header of the display (labeled
“Level”). This
field provides the direct input of the RF level value. Alternatively, you can enter the level in
the level dialog.
Note that the displayed RF level in the header and the RF output level which set in the
“Level” dialog can be different, as explained in the following section.
If you are working with a downstream instrument, e.g. an attenuator or an amplifier, you
can enter the level offset value in
the setting dialog (labeled “Level Offset”).
The generator includes these parameters and displays the result in the “Level” field in the
status bar, as if the downstream source and the generator were one unit. This displayed
level value corresponds to the value at the RF output of the instrument and any
downstream sources. However, the level provided at the RF output of the signal generator
corresponds to the level value set in the “Level Setting” dialog.
When level offset is enabled, the instrument changes the color of the
“OFFSET” icon from
grey to blue.
Level (in header) = RF output level (level in the Level menu) + Level offset (Offset in Level
menu)
