Power Trip Function (expect Planar 304/1)

Power Trip function is a safety feature to protect analyzer’s port from over-input. The Function disables the stimulus signal when the port safety power level is exceeded. The safety threshold used by this function is above the overload threshold, as described in the preceding paragraph.

Excessive port power level may occur when testing active devices.

When triggered, this function disables the stimulus signal and indicates the message in the status bar of the instrument: "Port n Power Trip at Overload!", where n - number of the port. Message has a red background color.

After the overload trips, the user must 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 button.
