PowerIterationCount
This key value describes the number of adjustments to make to the source power during calibration. The target stimulus power level is defined as the test port power (PowerLevel) summed with the offset value (PowerLevelOffset). When a power reading is greater than the PowerIterationTolerance value away from the target, the source is adjusted. The source may be adjusted for up to this value number of tries in attempt to reach all stimulus powers within the tolerance.
The default value is 30
Calibrations of the following type use this value:
- Differential IQ (DIQ) Calibration
- Gain Compression Calibration
- SweptIMD Calibration
- IM Spectrum Calibration
- Source Power Calibration
- S Parameter with Power Calibration
- Spectrum Analyzer Calibration
- Transmission Response Calibration
This key corresponds with the PNA SCPI command "SOURce<ch>:POWer<port>:CORRection:COLLect:ITERation[:COUNt] <num>" parameter as explained the Keysight Documentation
