264 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
8 Basic Function Commands
The example sets the ALC on.
*RST 1
:ATTenuation
Supported Option 1E1
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation <val><unit>
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation?
This command sets the attenuation level when the attenuator hold is active. For
theN8211A/N8212A, the attenuation is set in increments of 5 dB. For the N8211A/N8212A
with Option 1E1, the progression is 0, 5, 15, 25 and continues in 5 dB increments.
The output power is the ALC level minus the attenuator setting.
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:ATT 10DB
The example sets the attenuator to 10 dB.
*RST +115
Range 0 to 115 dB
:ATTenuation:AUTO
Supported Option 1E1
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO?
Sets the state of the attenuator hold function.
ON (1) Enables the attenuator to operate normally.
OFF (0) Holds the attenuator at its current setting or at a selected value that will not
change during power adjustments.
