These commands provide access to data sheet specified and typical, max and min power levels (in dBm). Max power refers to the maximum leveled source power at the specified port. Min power is calculated by subtracting the power sweep range from the max leveled power. This information is stored by frequency band in a power specification file. These commands provide access to the file’s contents and provide an interface to configure the port number and RF signal path of interest.
Power data is available as either the most restrictive value across a range of frequencies (when SYST:CAP:HARD:POW:RANG:MAX and SYST:CAP:HARD:POW:RANG:MIN are used) or for discrete CW frequencies (when SYST:CAP:HARD:POW:DISC:MAX and SYST:CAP:HARD:POW:DISC:MIN are used).
No measurement of instrument-specific dynamic range is performed; all power levels are equivalent to power data published in device data sheets. Power levels are valid only for measurement configurations where the front panel jumpers are in their standard positions, as originally shipped. Internal source attenuation and any calibrated external path loss/gain due to cables, fixtures, switches or booster amplifiers are not included in the reported min/max leveled power values. It remains the users’ responsibility to transform the reported factory power range data to a value corresponding to the specific calibration plane of their setups.
The power range data files contain both specified min/max leveled power values and the corresponding “typical” values. Some paths, that are not part of the specifications of the instrument may only have typical data. Only the “Specified” power range data is guaranteed for an instrument with an up-to-date calibration certificate.
The following describes the command sequence for setting up power range to query the right information.
Setup Power Range to correct path and path settings:

to query leveled output power

Applicable Models: VNAs with S93070xA/B or S95070A/B (Read-only) Returns whether the VNA supports the Reduce IF BW at Low Frequencies feature. The noise floor increases at low frequencies. By reducing the IFBW automatically, the noise floor is kept constant. Otherwise, measurements get nosier at low frequencies. When a constant bandwidth is required (for pulse measurement for instance), then the Reduce IF BW at Low Frequencies is turned off. |
