(Read-Write) Sets all ports to pre-sweep or point leveling mode for the specified channel. A channel cannot be set to both pre-sweep and point leveling. For point leveling, the source power is adjusted per point until the leveling receiver reports that the power is within tolerance (or the maximum iteration setting is reached). When the iteration is done, it moves immediately to the next point. This function is enabled using the SOURce:POWer:ALC[:MODE]:RECeiver:ITERation:ENABle command.

Parameters

<ch>

Channel number to be receiver leveled. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<port>

Source port being used for Receiver Leveling. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<char>

Acquisition mode. Choose from:

PRESweep - Leveling sweeps are performed in the background (not visible) before every measurement sweep to measure and apply source correction data.

POINt - Source power is adjusted per point.

[src]

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source outputs on the 2-port PNA-X model with multiple sources such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source outputs on the 2-port PNA-X model with multiple sources such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

Examples

SOUR:POW:ALC:REC:SAFE:STEP 2

source2:power2:alc:mode:receiver:safe:step 1.5

source:power:alc:mode:receiver:safe:min 2,"Port 1 Src2"

See ReceiverLeveling example

Query Syntax

SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:ALC[:MODE]:RECeiver:SAFE:STEP? [src]

Return Type

Numeric

Default

1 dB

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB

(Read-Write) Sets and returns the state of Receiver Leveling for the specified source port.

Parameters

<ch>

Channel number to be receiver leveled. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<port>

Source port being used for Receiver Leveling. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<bool>

Receiver Leveling state.

ON or 1 - Receiver Leveling ON

OFF or 0 - Receiver Leveling OFF
