Syntax :OUTPut:POWer <wsp>
<value>[DBM]|MIN|DEF|MAX
Description This command sets the through-power for the
instrument. The through-power is used to set
the attenuation of the filter.
Att
filter
(dB) = ThroughPower
Base
(dBm) - ThroughPower(dBm) + Att
filter@Base
(dB)
You set the through-power by sending a value
(default units are dBm), or by sending MIN,
DEF or MAX, which specify the minimum,
default and maximum values for the through-
power.
The maximum value and the default value are
those values for which Attenuation
filter
=0dB.
The minimum value is that value for which
Attenuation
filter
is at its greatest. For example,
if you have set INP:ATT 10 and INP:OFFS
2 and then switched UTP:APM ON, then the
through power is set to 12dBm. The maximum
through power, and the default through power,
in this case is 22dBm. The minimum through
power in this case is -38dBm.
