Ampl Ref Off On

Supported
This softkey toggles the operating state of the amplitude reference mode. When
amplitude reference mode is turned on, the amplitude value displayed is equal to the
current hardware output power minus the reference value set by the
softkey. All subsequent amplitude parameters are then relative to the reference value.
Amplitude offsets can be used with amplitude reference mode. In this situation, the
display will show the amplitude calculated as the current hardware output power minus
the reference value plus the amplitude offset.

Ampl Ref Set

Supported
This softkey enables you to set the current output power as an amplitude reference
value. It also causes the
amplitude reference mode. All subsequent output power settings are then relative to the
reference value.

This key sets the reference value equal to the current output power. If
you have not yet set the reference value, the normal preset value for
amplitude reference is 0.0 dBm.
