Ext AGC Status (—, Idle, Locked, Lowset, Alarm, Max, Min, Pull-up, Pull-down)

This read-only parameter shows the current status of the external AGC that can be one of

the following:

• —: the external AGC is disabled;

• Idle: the external AGC is stopped (e.g., right after switching on, before the output power

reaches the nominal level);

• Low Set: the external AGC is stopped because external power reading was

too low when the output power was set;

• Alarm: the external AGC is stopped because an Alarm signal from external power amplifier

is detected;

• Locked: the external AGC has reached the desired power level;

• Max/Min: the external AGC is stopped because the correction is too high;

• Pull up/down: the external AGC is moving up or down the driving power level.

See the AGC: Implementation and details paragraph for more information.
