vate the currently selected generator, click the "Source RF On" softkey.

Source Power

SOURce<n>:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] on page 905

Power Offset

Constant level offset for the tracking generator. Values from -200 dB to +200 dB in 1

dB steps are allowed. The default setting is 0 dB. Offsets are indicated by the

enhancement label "LVL" in the diagram header (see also Chapter 8.5, "Displayed

Information and Errors", on page 500).

With this offset, attenuators or amplifiers at the output connector of the tracking gener-

ator can be taken into account for the displayed output power values on screen or dur-

ing data entry, for example. Positive offsets apply to an amplifier and negative offsets

to an attenuator subsequent to the tracking generator.
