:ATTenuation:AUTO
Supported All Models
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO?
This command sets the state of the attenuator auto mode function.
ON (1) This selection allows the signal generator’s automatic level control (ALC) to adjust
the attenuator so that a specified RF power level, at the Agilent MXG’s RF output
connector, is maintained.
OFF (0) This choice allows for a user- selected attenuator setting that is not affected by the
signal generator’s ALC circuitry.
The OFF (0) selection can be used to eliminate power discontinuity normally
associated with attenuator switching during power adjustments.
*RST 1
Key Entry Atten Hold Off On
Remarks Refer to the “:ALC:LEVel” on page 50.
:ATTenuation:BYPass
Supported All Models
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation:BYPass ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation:BYPass?
This command enables or disables the attenuator bypass setting. The attenuator hold mode must be
enabled to use this command.
ON (1) This selection allows the signal generator’s automatic level control (ALC) to adjust
the attenuator hold mode. Output power is controlled solely by the ALC setting.
OFF (0) This choice allows for a user- selected attenuator setting combined with the ALC
setting.
