Leveling Point Module
L e v e l i n g P o i n t
Accesses the ALC bandwidth menu.
Specifies the coupling factor of an
external coupling device and causes
the display to indicate the power at
the coupler main output.
Disables the ALC leveling circuits.
Relative power level is controlled
by means of the level DAC and
attenuator. Power is not sensed at
any point, and absolute power level is
uncalibrated.
Sets the synthesizer to continuous
leveling at the specified leveling point.
The synthesizer activates power search
leveling mode. Similar to ALCoff
mode, but first automatically searches
for the correct modulator setting
so that the desired power level is
produced.
Sets the synthesizer to level power
externally. A negative detector output
must be connected to the EXT ALC
input.
Sets the synthesizer to level power
internally.
Sets the synthesizer to level power
at the output of a millimeter-wave
module. Either an HP
or
series millimeter-wave source
module must be connected to the
SOURCE MODULE INTERFACE.
Sets the synthesizer to level power at
an external power meter. A power
meter’s recorder output must be
connected to the EXT ALC input.
