Selects the level behavior at the RF output over time.

return

behaviour: AUTO| UNINterrupted| MONotone| CVSWr| CPHase UNINterrupted|MONotone Do not use the uninterrupted level settings and strictly monotone modes in combination with the high-quality optimization mode (see [:SOURcehw]:BB:IMPairment:OPTimization:MODE) CVSWr Constant VSWR CPHase Continuous phase CONStant Constant phase

get_lmode() → RsSmw.enums.PowLevMode

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:LMODe
value: enums.PowLevMode = driver.source.power.get_lmode()

Sets the RF level mode.

return

get_manual() → float

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:MANual
value: float = driver.source.power.get_manual()

Sets the level for the subsequent sweep step if [:SOURce<hw>]:SWEep:POWer:MODE. Use a separate command for each sweep step.

return

manual: float You can select any level within the setting range, where: STARt is set with [:SOURcehw]:POWer:STARt STOP is set with [:SOURcehw]:POWer:STOP OFFSet is set with [:SOURcehw]:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate]:OFFSet Range: (STARt + OFFSet) to (STOP + OFFSet) , Unit: dBm
