Remote Command

:SOURce:POWer:SWEep <rel_ampl>

:SOURce:POWer:SWEep?

:SOURce:POWer:SWEep:STATe ON|OFF|1|0

:SOURce:POWer:SWEep:STATe?

Example

:SOUR:POW –5

:SOUR:POW:SWE:STAT ON

:SOUR:POW:SWE 10

Set source start power to – 5 dBm and stop power + 5dBm (–5 + 10).

Example

:SOUR:POW:SWE:STAT ON

Dependencies

If  the requested setting of Power Sweep causes the calculated external source start or stop
Amplitude to exceed the external source capability, a warning status message is generated,
“Data out of Range; clipped to source max/min”.  The Show Source Capabilities and Settings
menu can then be examined to check the source capabilities.

This parameter test and clip is also performed at source acquisition.

Preset

This is unaffected by “Mode Preset” but is set to 0dB on a “Source Preset” or "Restore
Input/Output Defaults".

State Saved

Part of the Input/Output system, which means it is Loaded and Saved with state.

Min

–500 dB

Max

+500 dB

Compatibility SCPI

:SOURce[:EXTernal][:SWEep]:POWer:SPAN <rel_ampl>

:SOURce[:EXTernal][:SWEep]:POWer:SPAN?

This alias is for the ESA tracking generator and PSA option 215.  It specifies the range of power
levels through which the source output will sweep just as does :SOURce:POWer:SWEep.

Initial S/W Revision

A.06.01

Remote Command

:SOURce[:EXTernal]:POWer:MODE FIXed|SWEep

:SOURce[:EXTernal]:POWer:MODE?

Notes

The ESA tracking generator and the PSA option 215 support this SCPI command.  It sets the
source output to be at a single amplitude (fixed) or to sweep through a range of power levels

l

SOURce:POWer:MODE FIXed

is equivalent to :SOURce:POWer:SWEep:STATe

OFF
