This command has the same effect as repeatedly pressing the DISPLAY switch on the 8033 front
panel until the dB indicator is lit.
This command effects the display only. It has no effect on the output power.
When the output is off the 'setpoint' or desired power is displayed. When the output is turned on the
actual measured power is displayed.
"MODE:DB" action: Sets the display mode to the decibels (dB) scale.
The MODE:DB? query returns the status of the DISPLAY mode switch with regard to the dB scale.
None.
The response of 1 means the dB scale is selected, and 0 means the dB scale is not selected.
In local operation, the status of the dB display mode is determined by visualizing the dB LED
indicator.
When the output is off the 'setpoint' or desired power is displayed. When the output is turned on the
actual measured power is displayed.
"MODE:DB?" response: 1, means the dB display mode is selected.
"MODE:DB?" response: 0, means the dB display mode is not selected.
