:SOURce:LEVel
Command Syntax
:SOURceN:LEVel <double>
Where N identifies a simulated module's specific channel and must be selected from {1:8}{A|B|C|D}. For example, SOURce3C.
Where <double> is a percentage.
Query Syntax
:SOURceN:LEVel?
Query Response
<double>
Description
Creates a PAM4 waveform from simulated modules or Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) generators that has non-linearity. This is accomplished by adjusting the level 1 and level 2 amplitudes of the PAM4 waveform. The level amplitudes are specified as a percentage between levels 0 and 3. By default, level 1 is set to 33.3% and level 2 is set to 66.7%.
Requires FlexDCA revision A.06.40 and above.

Selecting AWG Channels
When sending a :SOURce subsystem command to an AWG, the method used to specify the AWG's channel may look confusing at first glance. This is because, the AWG's front-panel channels are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, but FlexDCA identifies channels with letters (A, B, C, or D). As a result, you must convert the AWG's channel number to an equivalent FlexDCA letter. For example, to enable channel 3 of an AWG that is installed in FlexDCA's slot 5 use the following command: :SOURce5C:OENable ON.
