Critical Note: CALCulate commands act on the selected measurement. You can select one measurement for each channel using Calc:Par:MNUM or Calc:Par:Select. Learn more.

CALCulate<cnum>:MARKer:PSATuration:BACKoff <num>

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB, M937xA, P937xA (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
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<num>	Backoff value. Choose any number between :-500 and 500
