Sets the maximum power level when level limit state is enabled. Range is -130 dBm to 33 dBm with Option 2. Range is –20 to 33 dBm without Option 2.
RF LEVEL LIMIT STATE
When ON, the level status area displays “Limit” or “Lim”.
UNITS
Level units, select dBm, dBµV, mV.
DELTA-F RF
Toggle that controls RF On or Off during frequency switching in CW, Step sweep, and List sweep modes. Toggle Retrace RF Output protection On turns Delta-F RF Off.
BLANKING POLARITY
Selects the polarity of the signal that turns the RF on during pulse modulation, as follows:
Normal: specifies positive-true operation; a TTL-high level will turn on the RF output signal.
Inverted: specifies negative-true operation; a TTL-low level will turn on the RF output signal.
RETRACE RF
Controls the RF output On/Off during retraces. Toggling retrace RF Output protection On turns RF Off during retrace.
Setting RF LEVEL LIMIT
RF LEVEL LIMIT sets the maximum power level when RF Level Limit State is enabled. The RF limit shown in Figure: RF Level Limit State shows the RF Limit Level State toggled on and the maximum achievable RF power level limit clamped to +5 dBm. In this example, the power level settings may be entered at a higher power level value, but the power output will remain at +5dBm until the RF Level Limit State is toggled off.
