command: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:APMode?
syntax: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:APMode?
description: Queries whether the user has amended the power value or the attenuation value.
This use of this command is optional.
Included for compatibility with Keysight 8156A mainframe.
parameters: none
response: boolean
example: OUTP1:APMode?
affects: All attenuator modules.
command: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer
syntax: :OUTPutn[:CHANnel[m]]:POWer<wsp><value>[PW | NW | UW | MW | W | DBM ] | MIN | MAX | DEF
description: Sets the output power value (P ).
If your attenuator module does not include the power control feature, the new filter attenuation (a
from the reference power (P
P
set(new)
If your attenuator module includes the power control feature, the filter attenuation is changed until the set power (measured
by the module's internal power meter) has been reached. P
If the set power cannot be achieved ExP (indicating 'Excessive Power' ) is displayed, and the appropriate GPIB status bit is set.
The status of these bits can be queried using
