How to Set the Amplitude Output (with the EMF Mode Off)
You can set the amplitude output by selecting the amplitude function and then setting
the desired output level:
I AMPTD I and the desired output level (in dBm, V, mV, uV, or dBuV; the I RAD % I key
is the dBuV terminator).
Example
Set the RF output to -107.3 dBm.

REL
Amplitude has been set to 6.0 dBuV. The AMPTD REL annunciators indicate that dBuV
is a relative setting. Even though dBuV can be set directly from the front panel, the way
this function operates and the way it is displayed are similar to most relative settings.
