SOURce[1...4]: POWer:ALC[:STATe]
This command is for controlling the ALC loop of the analyzer. With ON the internal ALC loop is
closed, with OFF an external control signal fed via a rear-panel connector is used. The channel
specification (1 to 4) is of no importance here since this is a global setting.
Syntax:
SOURce[1...4]: POWer:ALC[:STATe] ON | OFF
Example:
"SOUR:POW:ALC ON"

SOURce[1...4]:POWer:NLINear:COMP:RANGe:UPPer
This command defines an upper limit for the power of the signal source for a compression point
measurement. The value set must not exceed the maximum level of the selected source.
With power calibration, the upper limit is +200 dBm, regardless of the selected signal source.
Syntax:
SOURce[1...4]: POWer:NLINear:COMP:RANGe:UPPer <numeric_value>
Example:
"SOUR:POW:NLIN:COMP:RANG:UPP 0dBm"
Features:
*RST value:
SCPI:
0 dBm
device-specific
SOURce[1...4]:POWer:NLINear:COMP:RANGe:LOWer
This command defines a lower limit for the power of the signal source for a compression point
measurement. The value set must not fall below the minimum level of the selected source.
With power calibration, the lower limit is -300 dBm, regardless of the selected signal source.
Syntax:
SOURce[1...4]: POWer:NLINear:COMP:RANGe:LOWer <numeric_value>
Example:
"SOUR:POW:NLIN:COMP:RANG:LOW -25dBm"
Features:
*RST value:
SCPI:
-25 dBm
device-specific
SOURce[1...4]:POWer:NLINear:SOI:RANGe:UPPer
This command defines an upper limit for the power of the signal sources for a 2
nd
order intercept
point measurement. The allowed range of upper limits depends on the power of the signal sources.
With power calibration, the upper limit must be set such that it can be reached by both signal
sources.
Syntax:

Example:
"SOUR:POW:NLIN:SOI:RANG:UPP 0dBm"
Features:
