Level characteristics
ALC modes
The SSG5000X series offer three ALC modes:
ALC STATE AUTO: The best suited ALC mode is set automatically.
ALC STATE ON: The level control loop is closed. This mode is suitable for CW, FM and PM.
ALC STATE SAMPLE & HOLD (S&H): At every frequency and level change, the level control loop is closed
about 3 ms and the level control voltage is sampled. The level control voltage is the clamped. This mode is
used internally while in ALC state AUTO for pulse modulation, AM modulation and IQ mode.
