RF Output Control Commands
[SOURce[1]:]POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO
Disadvantages
When the step attenuator is locked, the output power dynamic range is
limited to the vernier range at the current output frequency. The vernier
range extends from a lower limit that is typically 5 dB lower than the
specied value for that range to an upper limit that is frequency dependent
on the synthesizer output frequency.
NOTE
In external diode detector leveling or external power meter leveling mode, the attenuator is always
locked in the current range and can not be unlocked using this function.
