[SOURce:]POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] Minimum level ... Maximal level
The command sets the RF output level in CW mode. In addition to numerical values, it is also
possible to specify UP and DOWN. The level is then increased or decreased by the value specified
under [SOURce:]POWer:STEP.
As with the Level value entered in the header, 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
The keywords of this command are largely optional. Therefore, both the long and short form of the
command are shown in the example.
