Command Description R&S SMB
1407.0806.32 6.68 E-2
[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet -100 dB ... +100 dB
Caution:
The level offset is also effective for level sweeps!
The command specifies the constant level offset of a downstream attenuator/amplifier. If a level
offset is entered, the level entered with :POWer no longer corresponds to the RF output level. The
following correlation applies:
:POWer = RF output level + POWer:OFFSet.
Entering a level offset does not change the RF output level, but rather the query value of :POWer.
Only dB is permitted as the unit here. The linear units (V, W, etc.) are not permitted.
The keywords of this command are largely optional. Therefore, both the long and short form of the
command are shown in the example.
Example:
SOURce:POWer:LEVel:IMMediate:OFFSet -10
or
POW:OFFS 10
'sets the RF level offset to 10 dB.

[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:RCL INCLude | EXCLude
The command determines whether the current level is retained or whether the stored level setting is
adopted when an instrument configuration is loaded.
*RST does not affect this setting.
Parameters: INCLude
The stored level is also loaded when a stored instrument configuration is
loaded.
EXCLude
The RF level is not loaded when a stored instrument configuration is loaded.
The current level is retained.
Example:
POW:RCL INCL
'the stored level is set if the Recall command is called'.
