Description

This command sets/gets the power range for each port (Pt).

The power range is selected depending on the setting of the attenuator. The relationship between the attenuator value and the power range is available below:

Source Power Range	Step Attenuation
-49 ~ +20 dBm	0 dB
-59 ~ +10 dBm	10 dB
-69 ~ 0 dBm	20 dB
-79 ~ -10 dBm	30 dB
-89 ~ -20 dBm	40 dB
-99 ~ -30 dBm	50 dB
-109 ~ -40 dBm	60 dB

When Auto Power Range set function is effective, this command is ignored and an attenuator level and a power range are selected automatically according to a maximum frequency and a maximum setting power. For more information on power attenuation, refer to Setting Power Level with Auto Power Range.
