CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:MARKer<mkr>:PSATuration:BACKoff <num>

(Read-Write) Turns on and sets markers 1, 2, and 3 to calculate various Power Saturation parameters. The <num> parameter sets and reads the back-off value for a Power Saturation marker search. To turn off the Power Saturation markers, either turn them off individually or turn them All Off. To search a User Range with the PSAT search, first activate marker 1 and set the desired User Range. Then send the CALC:MARK:PSAT:BACK command. The user range used with the PSAT search only applies to marker 1 searching for the linear gain value. The other markers may fall outside the user range. See Critical Note
