70 Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz
2 Amplitude / Y Scale
Ext Amp Gain
Compensates for external gain or loss. The function is similar to the Ref Lvl Offset function,
this value is considered, along with the maximum mixer level setting, to determine the
attenuation required (10 dB of Attenuation is added for every 10 dB of External Amp Gain).
The gain is subtracted from the amplitude readout so that the displayed signal level
represents the signal level at the input of the external device.
Gains may be entered with the keyboard or programming commands.
Key Path: AMPLITUDE / Y Scale
State Saved: Saved in Instrument State, and survives a Preset and power cycle.
Factory Default: 0 dB
Range: –81.90 dB to 81.90 dB
Ext Amp Gain is not affected by Factory Preset or power cycle. It can be reset to the factory
default by pressing System, Restore Sys Defaults.
Remote Command:
[:SENSe]:CORRection:OFFSet[:MAGNitude] <relative_power> (in
dB)
[:SENSe]:CORRection:OFFSet[:MAGNitude]?
Example:
CORR:OFFS:MAGN 7.3 DB
Sets the Ext Amp Gain to 7.3 dB. The only valid suffix is dB. If no suffix is sent, dB is
assumed.
