Keysight N6701C - Power Commands

Power Commands
Power commands program the output power.
[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the immediate input power level and the triggered input power level. Values can range from zero
to the maximum input power rating of the load module. The triggered level is a stored value that will
be programmed when a Step transient is triggered. Units are in Watts.
Parameter Typical Return
0 - maximum|MIN|MAX, *RST MIN 0 (zero)
Specifies a power level of 50 Watts: POW50, (@1)
Specifies a triggered power level of 75 Watts: POW:TRIG 75, (@1)
l The query returns the programmed power in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel specified.
Multiple responses are separated by commas.
[SOURce:]POWer:LIMit <value>, (<@chanlist>)
[SOURce:]POWer:LIMit? [MIN|MAX,] (<@chanlist>)
Sets the power limit on output channels. Units are in Watts.
For the majority of Keysight N6700C configurations, full power is available from all installed power
modules. However, it is possible to configure a mainframe in which the combined ratings of the power
modules exceed the power rating of the mainframe
For these instrument configurations, the power allocation lets you programmatically limit the output
power of some of the power modules so that the combined output power does not exceed the power
rating of the mainframe. Refer to Power Allocation for more information.
Parameter Typical Return
0 - maximum|MIN|MAX, *RST MAX <power limit>
Sets the power limitto 75 W on channels 1 and 2: POW:LIM 75, (@1,2)
l Setting a power limit of MAX on an output channel sets the output channel to its maximum rated
power limit. If the power limit is left at the maximum rating, then the power module will not enable
its power limit function.
l The query returns the programmed power level in the form +n.nnnnnnE+nn for each channel spe-
cified. Multiple responses are separated by commas. Querying MAX on an output channel returns
the maximum rated power limit.
l For models N679xA, the query returns the input power level setting.
