Sets and queries the center power for power sweep. Default units
(and units for query response) are determined by the UNIT:POWer
command.
The coupling equations for power sweep are exactly analogous to
those for frequency sweep. Power sweep is allowed to be negative,
unlike frequency sweeps. See

Sets and queries the setting of the power sweep mode switch. If in

stop, center and span functions. If in the fixed power mode then the
output is controlled by the POW C: LEVEL] command. The *RST value
is FIXed.
