Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition 155
command:
:OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer:CONTRol
syntax: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer:CONTRol<wsp>OFF(0) | ON(1)
description: Sets whether the power control mode is on or off.
If power control is enabled, the attenuator automatically compensates for changes to
input power.
parameters: OFF or 0
ON or 1
Output power follows changes to input power.
The filter position automatically adjusts to compensate for changes to input
power, so maintaining the output power set by the user.
response: none
example: OUTP1:POW:CONTR ON
affects: Attenuator modules with power control.
command:
:OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer:CONTRol?
syntax: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer:CONTRol?
description: Queries whether the power control mode is on or off.
parameters: none
response: boolean 0 The power control mode is off
1 The power control mode is on.
example: OUTP1:POW:CONTR? → 0<END>
affects: Attenuator modules with power control.
command:
:OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer:UNit
syntax: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer:UNit<wsp>DBM(0) | WATT(1)
description: Sets whether the power unit used is dBm or Watts.
This setting affects P
set
, P
ref
(if available), and P
act
parameters: DBM (or 0)
WATT (or 1)
Sets the power unit to dBm
Sets the power unit to W
response: none
example: OUTP1:POW:UN DBM
affects: All attenuator modules.
