1. Time from receipt of SCPI command or trigger signal to amplitude settled within 0.2 dB.
2. Specification does not apply when switching from and to amplitudes where ALC levels are < –5 dBm
for Option 540 or < 0 dBm for Option 520.
3. Level accuracy applies from –20 dBm to maximum output power between 15 °C and 35 °C.
4. For temperatures outside this range, absolute level accuracy degrades by 0.01 dB/degree C for
frequencies ≤ 4.5 GHz and 0.02 dB/degree C for frequencies > 4.5 GHz. For instruments with Type-N
connectors (Option 1ED), specifications are degraded typically 0.2 dB above 18 GHz. Specifications
do not apply above the maximum specified power.
