Power Limits
controls the source power at each test port for ALL channels. Use this feature
to protect DUTs that are sensitive to overpowering at the input. Source Power levels that
exceed the Limit at the specified port are clipped at the limit, and an error message is
displayed on the screen.
Power Offset
provides a method of compensating port power for added attenuation or
amplification in the source path. The result is that power at the specified port, all dialogs, and
annotations reflect the added components. For amplification use a positive offset, and for
attenuation use a negative offset.
Using the Softkey for setting: Press the ”Power” key, “Power” > Leveling & Offsets then enter
the menu.
A. Select the Port.
B. Slope Enable. Helps compensate for cable and test fixture power losses at increased
frequency. With power slope enabled, the port output power increases (positive input) or
decreases (negative input) with the scanning frequency.
C. Set the slope value
D. Set the power offset value
E. Power Limit Enable
F. Set the power limit value
G. Power Offsets and limits
Power Offsets and Limits setting
Using the Softkey for setting: Press the ”Power” key, “Power” > Leveling & Offsets > Offsets
and Limits to enter the menu. You can change the cell value in one of the following two ways:
