2.2 Level Setting
The value of the RF level is displayed in the level text field located in the header of
the display (labeled “Level”).This field provides the direct input of the RF level
value .Alternatively, you can enter the level in the level dialog.
Note that the displayed RF level in the header, and the RF output level, set in the
“Level” dialog can be different, as explained in the following section.
If you working with a downstream instrument, e.g. an attenuator or amplifier, you
can enter the level offset value in the settings dialog (labeled “Level Offset”).
The generator includes these parameters and displays the result in the “Level”
field in the status bar, as if the downstream source and the generator were one unit.
This displayed level value corresponds to the value at the RF output of the
instrument and any downstream sources. . However, the level provided at the RF
output of the signal generator corresponds to the level value set in the “Level
Setting” dialog.
When a level offset is enabled, the instrument display changes the color of
“OFFSET “from grey to blue.
