8 Basic Function Commands
:ALC:LEVel
Supported Option 1E1
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALC:LEVel <value>DB
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALC:LEVel?
Sets the automatic leveling control (ALC) level when the attenuator hold is active.
Use this command when the automatic attenuation mode is set to OFF (0). Refer to
“:ATTenuation:AUTO" on page 264 for choosing the attenuator mode.
Example
:POW:ALC:LEV 10DB
The example sets the ALC to 10 dB.
*RST +1.00000000E+000
Range –20 to 25
:ALC:SEARch
Supported All
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALC:SEARch ON|OFF|1|0|ONCE
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALC:SEARch?
Enables or disables the internal power search calibration. A power search is recommended
for pulse-modulated signals with pulse widths less than one microsecond.
ON (1) Executes the power search automatically with each change in RF frequency or
power.
OFF (0) Disables the automatic power search routine.
ONCE Executes a single power search of the current RF output signal.
Use this command when the automatic leveling control (ALC) state is set to OFF (0). Refer
to “:ALC[:STATe]" on page 263 for setting the ALC state.
If ON was previously selected, executing ONCE will cause OFF to be the current selection
after the power search is completed.
Example
:POW:ALC:SEAR ONCE
