Set the Output Power at the Start of the Sweep

:SOURce:POWer:STARt <ampl>
:SOURce:POWer:STARt?
Specifies the source output power level at the start of the power sweep. Use
: SOURce:POWer:SPAN to set the change in power level across the sweep. This
command is equivalent to
:SOURce:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] .
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.
Set the Output Power to Step Automatically
:SOURce:POWer:STEP:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1
:SOURce:POWer:STEP:AUTO?
Specifies the source power step size to be one vertical scale division when in
logarithmic scale, or 10 dB when in linear scale.
