class AlcCls[source]

Alc commands group definition. 8 total commands, 1 Subgroups, 7 group commands

get_damplifier() → PowAlcDriverAmp[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:DAMPlifier
value: enums.PowAlcDriverAmp = driver.source.power.alc.get_damplifier()

Selects the driver amplifier switching state.

return:

amplifier: OFF| ON| AUTO| FIX| ONMG AUTO Switches the attenuator automatically. ON|OFF Switches on or off the driver amplifier. FIXed Fixes the last setting. ONMG Supplies maximum level at the output.

get_dsensitivity() → PowAlcDetSensitivity[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:DSENsitivity
value: enums.PowAlcDetSensitivity = driver.source.power.alc.get_dsensitivity()

Sets the sensitivity of the ALC detector.

return:

sensitivity: AUTO| FIXed | LOW| MEDium| HIGH AUTO Selects the optimum sensitivity automatically. LOW|MEDium|HIGH Sets either low, medium or high sensitivity. FIXed Fixes the internal level detector.

get_mode() → AlcOnOffAuto[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:MODE
value: enums.AlcOnOffAuto = driver.source.power.alc.get_mode()

Queries the currently set ALC mode. See [:SOURce<hw>]:POWer:ALC[:STATe].

return:

pow_alc_mode: 0| AUTO| 1| PRESet| OFFTable| ON| OFF| ONSample| ONTable

get_omode() → AlcOffMode[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:OMODe
value: enums.AlcOffMode = driver.source.power.alc.get_omode()

No command help available

return:

off_mode: No help available

get_search() → bool[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:SEARch
value: bool = driver.source.power.alc.get_search()

No command help available

return:

search: No help available

get_slevel() → PowAlcSampleLev[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:SLEVel
value: enums.PowAlcSampleLev = driver.source.power.alc.get_slevel()

Sets the sample level of automatic level control (ALC) . How To: See ‘How to enable the ALC’.

return:

samp_level: FULL| MINimum| ATTenuated

get_state() → AlcOnOffAuto[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:[STATe]
value: enums.AlcOnOffAuto = driver.source.power.alc.get_state()

Activates automatic level control in the selected mode. How to: See ‘How to enable the ALC’.

return:

state: AUTO| OFFTable| ON| ONSample| ONTable| OFF AUTO Adjusts the output level to the operating conditions automatically. OFFTable Controls the level with the attenuation values of the internal ALC table. ON Activates internal level control permanently. OFF Deactivates internal level control, ‘Sample & Hold’ mode is active. ONSample Starts the internal level control with the first change. ONTable Starts with the attenuation setting from the table and continues with automatic level control. For more details on the individual settings, an overview of the functionality and details on what is to be considered, see ‘ALC states and their effects’.

set_damplifier(amplifier: PowAlcDriverAmp) → None[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:DAMPlifier
driver.source.power.alc.set_damplifier(amplifier = enums.PowAlcDriverAmp.AUTO)

Selects the driver amplifier switching state.

param amplifier:

OFF| ON| AUTO| FIX| ONMG AUTO Switches the attenuator automatically. ON|OFF Switches on or off the driver amplifier. FIXed Fixes the last setting. ONMG Supplies maximum level at the output.

set_dsensitivity(sensitivity: PowAlcDetSensitivity) → None[source]

# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:POWer:ALC:DSENsitivity
driver.source.power.alc.set_dsensitivity(sensitivity = enums.PowAlcDetSensitivity.AUTO)

Sets the sensitivity of the ALC detector.

param sensitivity:

AUTO| FIXed | LOW| MEDium| HIGH AUTO Selects the optimum sensitivity automatically. LOW|MEDium|HIGH Sets either low, medium or high sensitivity. FIXed Fixes the internal level detector.

set_omode(off_mode: AlcOffMode) → None[source]

AUTO| OFFTable| ON| ONSample| ONTable| OFF AUTO Adjusts the output level to the operating conditions automatically. OFFTable Controls the level with the attenuation values of the internal ALC table. ON Activates internal level control permanently. OFF Deactivates internal level control, ‘Sample & Hold’ mode is active. ONSample Starts the internal level control with the first change. ONTable Starts with the attenuation setting from the table and continues with automatic level control.
