Press this front panel hardkey to change the RF output power. Amplitude becomes
the active function and the current value is shown in the active entry area of the
display. To enter a new value for amplitude, rotate the front panel knob until the
desired value is displayed, use the up and down arrow keys, or enter the value
using the numeric keypad and press the
dBm, dBuV, dBuVemf, mV, uV, mVemf, or
uVemf terminator softkey. The output power range allowed depends on your
instrument model. Refer to Chapter 9, “Specifications.”
The current RF output power level is always shown in the amplitude area of the
display except under the following conditions:
• Amplitude reference mode is turned on
• An offset is applied
• A step or list amplitude sweep is in process
• The RF Off On front panel key is off
The amplitude area of the display is blanked whenever an amplitude sweep is
selected.
