The :SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet and :SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet{1-50} subsystem commands are used to configure the frequency offsets for external sources, internal receivers, and related functions for the currently active device or function. Use the :OFFSet{1-50} commands to configure the frequency offsets for external sources, internal receivers, and related functions for the indicated offset number.
Trigger, Hold, and External Source Subsystems
Related trigger, hold, and external source subsystems are:
Use the :SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet commands to create and setup multiple source bands. The relative sequence is:
• Configure Band 1
• When started, Band 1 exists with a starting frequency of the lowest instrument frequency, and a top ending frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
• Change the Band 1 top frequency to something lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
• Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or configure as required.
• Create and Configure Band 2
• Create a new band which automatically becomes Band 2 with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher than the end frequency of Band 1 and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
• If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
• Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or configure as required.
• Create and Configure Band N
• Create a new band which automatically becomes the next higher Band with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher than the end frequency of the prior Band and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
• If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
• If this is the last band, and a lower end frequency is required, configure the band end frequency.
• Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or configure as required.
:SENSe{1-16}:OFFset{1-50} Commands
Use the :SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet{1-50} commands to create and setup multiple source bands. These indexed :OFFSet commands allow a specified existing band to be configured. The relative command sequence is:

• Change the Band 1 top frequency to something lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
• Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or configure as required.
• Create and Configure Band 2
• Create a new band using :OFFSet{2} which becomes Band 2 with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher than the end frequency of Band 1 and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
• If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
• Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or configure as required.
• Create and Configure Band N
• Create a new band using the :OFFSet{N} (where N is less than or equal to 50) which automatically becomes the next higher Band with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher than the end frequency of the prior Band and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
• If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument maximum frequency.

:SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet{1-50}:MMModule:LEVeling:TYPe?
Description
The command sets the external MMModule leveling type for the indicated multiple source band on the given channel. The query outputs the external MMModule leveling type for the indicated multiple source band on the given channel.
• IFLEVeling = For Modular BB, IF leveling provides the advantages of RF leveling described below plus the benefit of greater power control range and a lower minimum leveled power (at least 20 dB lower typically). As one approaches a 100 MHz difference between source and receiver frequencies, the power control range will start to decrease as will power control accuracy. The use of IF leveling is not recommended for source-receiver frequency differences greater than 100 MHz.
• RFLEVeling = For Modular BB, RF leveling provides a leveled RF output power with improved source match, protection against over powering the DUT, and insuring that the DUT is operating in its designated power range.
Cmd Parameters
<char1>: IFLEVeling | RFLEVeling

:SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet{1-50}:MMModule:SRC[:STATe]?
Description
The command enables/disables the MMModule source for the indicated multiple source band on the given channel. The query outputs the Enable/Disable status of the MMModule source for the indicated multiple source band on the given channel
The command sets the MMModule VCO frequency overrange for the indicated multiple source band on the given channel. The query outputs the MMModule VCO frequency overrange for the indicated multiple source band on the given channel
Sets the receiver source CW mode on/off status for the indicated multiple source band and channel. Outputs the receiver source CW mode on/off status for the indicated multiple source band and channel.
Sets the receiver source frequency divisor for the indicated multiple source band and channel. The multiple source equations depend on whether the instrument is in Broadband or Millimeter-Wave Mode.
• If the VNA is in Broadband Mode, the Start, Stop, and Broadband Break Frequencies in GHz set the frequency range.
• If the VNA is in Millimeter-Wave Mode, only the Start and Stop Frequency in GHz are required.
Sets the receiver source frequency multiplier for the indicated multiple source band and channel. Outputs the receiver source frequency multiplier for the indicated multiple source band and channel. The command/query range is limited by the band equation which changes depending on the CW on/off mode:
• If CW is off: Source = (Multiplier/Divisor) × (Frequency + Offset Frequency)
• If CW is on: Source = (Multiplier/Divisor) + Offset Frequency
Sets the receiver source offset frequency for the indicated multiple source band and channel. The multiple source equations depend on whether the instrument is in Broadband or Millimeter-Wave Mode.
• If the VNA is in Broadband Mode, the Start, Stop, and Broadband Break Frequencies in GHz set the frequency range.
• If the VNA is in Millimeter-Wave Mode, only the Start and Stop Frequency in GHz are required.
Sets the receiver CW mode on/off status for the indicated multiple source band and channel. Outputs the receiver CW mode on/off status for the indicated multiple source band and channel.
Sets the receiver frequency divisor for the indicated multiple source band and channel. Outputs the receiver frequency divisor for the indicated multiple source band and channel. The multiple source equations depend on whether the instrument is in Broadband or Millimeter-Wave Mode.

Sets the start frequency of the indicated multiple source band and channel. Outputs the start frequency of the indicated multiple source band and channel. The Minimum Instrument Frequency (Fmin) depends on the instrument installed options. The Maximum Instrument Frequency (Fmax) depends on the instrument model. See Minimum/Maximum Instrument Frequency and Related Parameters for frequency limits for combinations of instrument model and available options. The Minimum Frequency Step Size is equal to 1 Hz.
