Ampl
User’s Guide 4-15
Alt Ampl Delta (Option UNA Only)
Press this softkey to set the delta value for the alternate amplitude
function. The actual alternate amplitude is equal to the delta value plus
the main RF output amplitude plus the amplitude offset value minus
the amplitude reference value.
Default Value: 0.00 dB
Softkey Location:
Ampl > Alternate Amplitude > Alt Ampl Delta
Alt Ampl Off On (Option UNA Only)
Toggles the operating state of the alternate amplitude function between
off and on. The alternate amplitude mode must be turned on in order to
switch the RF output power between main and alternate amplitudes.
Default Value: Off
Softkey Location:
Ampl > Alternate Amplitude > Alt Ampl Off On
Alt Ampl Trigger (Option UNA Only)
Reveals a menu of choices for the alternate amplitude trigger source.
These choices include Int (internal from the baseband generator), Ext
(external source provided at the rear panel TRIGGER IN connector),
and Manual (softkey-driven) triggering.
Internal triggering is mainly used during framed-data generation. Each
timeslot is allowed to output power with a user-selected main or
alternate amplitude. For instruments without baseband generators, the
Int softkey will be nonfunctional.
For instruments containing baseband generators, internal triggering is
automatically selected during framed data transmission with at least
one activated timeslot with alternate amplitude, or during non-framed
external data generation.
In cases regarding non-framed external data generation, an external
trigger to the ALT PWR IN rear panel connector is required. This
external trigger input is routed to the data generator for processing.
Default Value: Manual
Softkey Location:
Ampl > Alternate Amplitude > Alt Ampl Trigger
