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 |
|
[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 2 outputs on the 2-port 2-source PNA-X model such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority. |

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB (Read-Write) Sets and returns the maximum power level for Safe Mode. The MAX/MIN limit is always used regardless of the safe mode state.

Ensure that the power offset in the channel is the same as power offset during calibration. If the exact power offset is not known, choose a limit for source and then it will not be related to power offset. |
