[:SOURce]:LEVel

Syntax

[:SOURce]:LEVel <value>
[:SOURce]:LEVel?

Description

Set the RF output amplitude.
Query the RF output amplitude.

Parameter

Name

Type

Range

Default

<value>

Real

-140dBm to 20dBm

-140dBm

Explanation

 When <value> is set in "Number" form, the default unit is dBm, for example,

2. In addition, <value> can also be set in "Number + Unit" form, for example,

2dBm. At this point, the amplitude displayed in the interface is related to the

setting of Level Unit:

When the level unit is "dBm", 2.00dBm is displayed;

When the level unit is "dBmV", 48.99dBmV is displayed;

When the level unit is "dBuV", 108.99dBuV is displayed;

When the level unit is "Volts", 281.50mV is displayed;

When the level unit is "Watts", 1.58mW is displayed.

 The default unit of the return value is dBm.

 After the RF amplitude is set, you can use the up/down direction keys or knob

to modify the amplitude at the current step. You can query or set the current

step using the

[:SOURce]:LEVel:STEP

command.

 When the amplitude offset is 0 dB, the amplitude displayed in the interface

(namely the setting amplitude) is equal to the actual output amplitude.

 When the amplitude offset is not 0 dB, the output amplitude is determined by

the setting amplitude and amplitude offset. The three parameters satisfy the

equation: setting amplitude (display amplitude) = output amplitude +

amplitude offset. You can use the

[:SOURce]:LEVel:OFFSet

command to query

and set the RF amplitude offset.

Return Format

The query returns the RF amplitude, for example, 2.00.

Example

:LEV 2dBm /*Set the RF amplitude to 2dBm*/
:LEV? /*Query the RF amplitude and the query returns 2.00*/
