value: enums.PowLevMode = driver.source.power.get_lmode()

Sets the RF level mode.

Returns:

lev_mode: NORMal | LOWNoise | LOWDistortion NORMal Supplies the RF signal with the standard power level of the instrument. LOWNoise Supplies a very low noise sinewave signal. LOWDistortion Supplies a very pure sinewave signal.

get_manual() → float

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

Sets the level for the subsequent sweep step if method RsSmw.source.sweep.power.mode() . Use a separate command for each sweep step.

Returns:

manual: float You can select any level within the setting range, where: STARt is set with method RsSmw.source.power.start() STOP is set with method RsSmw.source.power.stop() OFFSet is set with method RsSmw.source.power.level.immediate.offset() Range: (STARt + OFFSet) to (STOP + OFFSet) , Unit: dBm

# [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:STOP
value: float = driver.source.power.get_stop()

Sets the RF start/stop level in sweep mode.

Returns:
