266 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
8 Basic Function Commands
:PROTection:STATe
Supported Option 1E1
[:SOURce]:POWer:PROTection[:STATe] ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:POWer:PROTection[:STATe]?
Enables or disables the power search protection function. The power search protection
function sets the attenuator to its maximum level whenever a power search is initiated.
This can be used to protect devices that are sensitive to high average power or high power
changes. The trade off on using the power protection function is decreased attenuator life,
as the attenuator will switch to its maximum setting during a power search.
ON (1) Causes the attenuator to switch to and hold its maximum level setting during a
power search.
OFF (0) Sets the attenuator normal mode. The attenuator is not used during power
search.
Example
:POW:PROT ON
The example enables the power inhibit function.
*RST 0
:REFerence
Supported All
[:SOURce]:POWer:REFerence <val><unit>
[:SOURce]:POWer:REFerence?
Sets the power level for the N8211A/N8212A RF output reference. The RF output power is
referenced to the value entered in this command.
Example
:POW:REF 50DBM
The preceding example sets the RF output power reference to 50 dBm.
*RST +0.00000000E+000
Range -400 to 300 dBm
