Output Power

Set the power level out of the FieldFox to High, Low, or manually set power level
to a value between High and Low.
Generally, the high power setting is used when measuring passive, high-loss
devices to place the signal farther from the noise floor. However, for devices that
are sensitive to high power levels such as amplifiers, use the Low power setting.
For best measurement accuracy, use the Manual power setting at -15 dBm. After
calibration, the power level can be decreased for amplifiers, or increased for
higher dynamic range.
Caution Power Level settings in this mode will NOT change Power Level settings in other
modes. To help prevent damage to your DUT, use caution when changing modes
with your DUT connected to the FieldFox test ports.

Trig Slope
Positive
Sweep is initiated by the rising edge of signal at about 1.7 V.
o
Negative
Sweep is initiated by the falling edge of signal at about 1.0 V.

Output Power
High Sets output power to the maximum achievable power at all displayed
o
frequencies. Output power is NOT FLAT across the displayed FieldFox
frequency span. Please see the FieldFox Specifications (see page 214) for
expected power levels.
Low Sets output power to approximately –45 dBm, FLAT across the
o
displayed FieldFox frequency span.
Man (default setting at -15 dBm) Set output power to an arbitrary value,
o
FLAT across the displayed FieldFox frequency span. If flattened power can
NOT be achieved, a warning message and beep occurs. To achieve a
flattened output power, reduce the power level or stop frequency.
