:GENerator Subsystem
This subsystem contains commands related to the generator.
:GENerator:ADDitional:CALibration
Title
Perform Additional Calibration
Description
Performs an additional calibration sweep to improve the output of the source. Use [:SENSe:]:ENhanced:CALibration:COMPlete[:STATe]? to determine when calibration is complete.
Note: This command works only after the Generator has been turned ON and Enhanced Accuracy Calibration has been turned ON.
Related Command

Title
Generator Output Power
Description
Sets the output power for the Generator.
Query returns actual output power setting without regards to any external gain or loss setting.
Note: Returned value does not match displayed output power on the instrument if external gain/loss setting is not 0 dB.
Parameter
<amplitude>
Default Value
-50 dBm
Range
-80 dBm to 15 dBm
Default Unit
Current active amplitude unit
Example
To set the output to -30 dBm when the active amplitude units are dBm:
:GENerator:OUTput:POWer -30
Related Command

Title
Generator Output Power Offset or External Gain/Loss Setting
Description
Sets the output power level offset or the External Gain/Loss Setting. Please note that changing this value causes the displayed output power to adjust with the new offset. For example, if the output power is set to -25 dBm and the External Gain/Loss is then set to 10 dB external gain, the power limits are adjusted by 10 dBm and value of the output power displayed on the instrument are adjusted to -15 dBm. The query returns a value from -100 to 100. A negative sign indicates external loss and no sign indicates external gain.
Parameter
<value>
Default Value
0 dB
Range
100 dB Ext Loss to 100 dB Ext Gain
Default Unit
dB
Example
To set the signal generator offset to 10 dB external gain:
:GENerator:OUTput:POWer:OFFSet 10
