[:SOURce<hw>]:POWer:STARt <Start>
The command sets the RF start level in Sweep mode.
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:
<Start> float
Minimum level ... Maximum level
The value range for the level setting varies according to the instru-
ment model. The values are given in the data sheet.
Increment: 0.01 dB
*RST: -30 dBm
Default unit: dBm
Example:
POW:STAR -20 dBm
sets the start level for the level sweep to -15 dBm for RF output A.
Usage: SCPI confirmed
[:SOURce<hw>]:POWer:STEP[:INCRement] <Increment>
The command sets the step width for the level setting if UP and DOWN are used as the
level values and variation mode :SOUR:POW:STEP:MODE USER is selected. The com-
mand is linked to setting "Variation Step" for manual control, i.e. the command also sets
the step width of the rotary knob for "Variation Active On".
Parameters:
<Increment> float
Range: 0 dB to 100 dB
Increment: 0.01 dB

Example:
SOURce:POWer:STEP:INCRement 2
or
POW:STEP 2
sets the step width for entering the RF level to 2 dB.
[:SOURce<hw>]:POWer:STEP:MODE <Mode>
This command activates (USER) or deactivates (DECimal) the user-defined step width
used when varying the level value with the level values UP/DOWN. The command is linked
to setting "Variation Active" for manual control, i.e. the command also activates/deacti-
vates the user-defined step width used when varying the level value with the rotary knob.
