Enable Stimulus Signal Output
You can turn on/off the stimulus signal output, but this will prevent you
from performing measurement. Therefore, you will not normally use this
feature. This is mainly used to turn the output back to on after it has been
turned off by the power trip feature.
Follow these steps to turn the stimulus signal output on/off:
1. Press Sweep Setup key.
2. Click Power > RF Out (Each press toggles between on/off).
When set to off, "RF OFF" is displayed in Instrument Status Bar.
Power trip
The power trip is a feature that the instrument uses to automatically turn
off the output of the stimulus signal to protect the instrument when a
signal whose level exceeds the upper limit is inputted to the test port.
If the power output is automatically turned off by the power trip feature,
remove the cause of the over-input and turn on the power output
according to the above steps to restart the measurement.
