14. Deep mode offers reduced distortion for very deep AM. Waveform is DC-coupled and feedback-leveled at ALC levels above –13 dBm. At ALC levels below
–13 dBm, output is DC-controllable, but subject to sample-and-hold drift of 0.25 dB/second.
15. The 8360 has two unleveled modes, ALC Off and Search. In ALC Off mode, the modulator drive can be
controlled from the front panel to vary quiescent RF output level. In Search mode, the instrument microprocessor
momentarily closes the ALC loop to find the modulator drive setting necessary to make the quiescent RF output level equal to an entered value, then opens
the ALC loop while maintaining that modulator drive setting. Neither of these modes is feedback leveled.
