SOURce:SCENario:POWer[n]

Function

Sets the absolute power of channel or switch power ON or OFF when the scenario is running.

The parameter n, the channel number, can be:

  • 1-5 for GSG-52/53
  • 1-8 for GSG-54
  • 1-16 for GSG-55/56
  • 1-32/48/64 for GSG-62/63/64.

The freqband parameter is optional and can be used when only a certain satellite frequency band power is changed.

The value ALL in freqband means that the power for all bands is adjusted by the amount indicated via the command.

The command also accepts ON/OFF keywords as an argument, see examples below.
