7.1.2.2 Single Power Steps and List Mode
In its simplest configuration the "Power" measurement provides the average power in a
measurement interval of configurable length("Measurement Length"): The instrument
behaves like a power meter.
The measurement interval can be repeated periodically over a sequence of power
steps ("List Mode"). A single step sequence is termed a "sweep".
The measurement interval is moved with respect to the power steps, if the first step
that the DUT generates is shortened. This can be suitable to avoid the switching
transients due to the power steps.
Alternatively it is possible to introduce a trigger offset in order to move the
measurement interval relative to the steps.
A trigger offset is also suitable if the first power step is longer than the following steps.
