Power Search Mode
Power search mode executes a power search routine that momentarily activates the ALC,
calibrates the power of the current RF output, and then disconnects the ALC circuitry.
To set the signal generator to manual, fixed power search mode, follow these steps:
1. Press
Preset.
2. Press
Frequency, enter the required frequency, and terminate the entry with the
appropriate terminator softkey.
3. Press
Amplitude, enter the required amplitude, and terminate the entry with the
appropriate terminator softkey.
4. Press
ALC Off On.
This deactivates the ALC circuitry.
5. Press
RF On/Off.
6. Press
Do Power Search.
This executes the manual, fixed power search routine.
There are two power search modes, manual and automatic.
In manual power search mode (
Power Search Manual Auto set to Manual), pressing Do Power
Search
executes the power search calibration routine for the current RF frequency and
amplitude. In this mode, a change in RF frequency or amplitude necessitates another
calibration (press
Do Power Search again).
In automatic power search mode (
Power Search Manual Auto set to Auto), the calibration
routine is executed whenever the frequency or amplitude of the RF output is changed.
