R&S SMB Command Description
1407.0806.32 6.69 E-2
[SOURce:]POWer:LIMit[:AMPLitude] Minimum level .... Maximum level
The command limits the maximum RF output level in CW and SWEEP mode. It does not influence
the LEVEL display or the response to the POW? query command.
Parameters: Minimum level ... Maximum level
The value range for the level setting varies according to the instrument model.
The values are given in the data sheet.
Example:
SOURce:POWer:LIMit:AMPLitude 10 or :POW:LIM 10
'limits the RF level to maximum +10 dBm.
*RST value Resolution Options SCPI
+30 dBm 0.01 dB Compliant
[SOURce:]POWer:MANual Minimum level ... Maximum level
In Sweep mode (:SOUR:POW:MODE SWE) the command sets the level for the next sweep step in the
Step sweep mode (:SOUR:SWE:POW:MODE MAN). Here only level values between the settings
[:SOUR]:POW:STAR and ...:STOP are permitted. Each sweep step is triggered by a separate
:SOUR:POW:MAN command.
As with the Level value entered in the RF Level menu, the OFFSet value is also taken into
consideration with this command.
The specified value range is therefore only effective if :SOURce:POWer:OFFSet is set to 0. The
value range for other OFFset values can be calculated using the following formula:
Minimum level + OFFSet ... Maximum level + OFFSet
Parameters: Minimum level ... Maximum level
The value range for the level setting varies according to the instrument model.
The values are given in the data sheet.c
Example:
POW:SWE:MODE MAN
'sets the Step sweep mode.
POW:MAN -5 dBm
'sets an RF level of -5 dBm for the next setting in the Step sweep mode.
POW:MODE SWE
'sets the Level Sweep mode.
POW:MAN -5.5 dBm
'triggers the next sweep step with a level of -5.5 dBm.
*RST value Resolution Options SCPI
-30 dBm 0.01 dBm Compliant
