Key Entry
Ampl Start
Remarks During an amplitude sweep operation, signal generators with Option
1E1 protect the step attenuator by automatically switching to
attenuator hold (OFF) mode. The amplitude sweep range is limited to
45 dB and be moved around the whole power range by inputting a
different power level.
