alcPower
Variable Type ViReal64
This parameter specifies an ALC power setting.
Valid range: –20 dBm to Maximum Leveled Output Power
attenuation
Variable Type ViUInt16
This parameter specifies an attenuation setting.
Valid values: 0 to 70 dB in 10 dB steps
featureBits
Variable Type ViUInt16
This parameter specifies the features used while setting a frequency
and power level. One or more features can be selected. To select a single
feature, specify its feature bit value. To select multiple features, add the
desired feature bit values together.
featureBits Description
--- With all featureBits set to 0, set a frequency and power level,
but do not generate a Sync Out trigger, do not adjust ALC
Offset, and do not use long banking.
Bit 0=1 Reserved
Bit 1=1 Do not blank RF output unless the step attenuator is
changed.
Bit 2=1 Set switch/blanking time to long switch/blanking; normal
switch/blanking time is 150 us and long switch/blanking time
is 350 us.
Bit 3=1 Use the ALC integrator zero offset value that is passed in
from the alcOffset parameter in place of the ALC integrator
zero offset value from the frequency table.
Bits 4-7 Reserved
Bit 8=1 The synthesizer will produce a Sync Out trigger at the end of
the Settling Time
Bits 9-15 Reserved
