Power Trip Function

Scroll Contact Us Home Prev Top Next More

Port overload can occur when testing active devices. The power trip function is a safety feature to keep the Analyzer’s port from overloading. The function is triggered when the port safety power level is exceeded. When triggered, this function disables the stimulus signal and displays the following message in the instrument status bar:  Port <n> Power Trip at Overload!  (where <n> is the number of the port). The message has a red background.

After the overload trips, resolve the issue causing the overload, and then manually re-enable the stimulus via the submenu Stimulus> Power> RF output [On].

The power trip function can be enabled or disabled by the user. By default, it is disabled. The ON/OFF state of this function is retained in subsequent sessions and does not depend on the Preset softkey.
