:SOURce:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]?
Specifies the source output power level. Use :SOURce:POWer:SWEep to set the
change in power level across the sweep. Also see :SOURce:POWer:STARt and
OUTPut[:STATe].
CAUTION Power-level sensitive devices connected to the tracking generator output may be
accidentally damaged. This is because the actual source amplitude will be greater
than the amplitude indicated on the analyzer, when the power sweep function is
being used.
The source amplitude value is used as the starting amplitude for a power sweep.
The ending amplitude for a power sweep is higher then the source amplitude value
and it may actually be set to values beyond specified output levels. Therefore,
exercise caution when connecting a power-level sensitive device to the tracking
generator output.
