SENSe Subsystem

The commands in this subsystem relate to device-specific parameters, not signal-oriented parameters.

[:SENSe]:FREQuency Subsystem

Commands in this subsystem pertain to the frequency settings of the instrument.

Center Frequency

[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer <freq>

[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer?

Sets the center frequency.

Factory Preset / *RST:	1 GHz
Range:	824 MHz – 2.7 GHz
Default Unit:	Hz
Front Panel Access:	Freq, Center Freq

 

[:SENSe]:POWer Subsystem

This subsection relates to the power amplitude parameters of the instrument.

Automatic Amplitude Range

[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1

[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO?

Sets the automatic amplitude range.

Setting the value to ON or 1 will result in the amplitude range being coupled to the detected input signal level.

Setting the value to OFF or 0 will result in the input attenuation being un-coupled from the input signal level. That is, changing the input signal level will not change the amplitude range. When this command is issued, the amplitude range itself will not change.

The default value is ON. That is, sending :SENS:POW:RANG:AUTO is equivalent to sending :SENS:POW:RANG:AUTO ON.

Factory Preset / *RST:	ON
Front Panel Access:	Amplitude, Auto Range
See Also:	[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe

 

Amplitude Range

[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe[:IMMediate]

Re-calculates amplitude range.

Note that issuing this command will set the automatic dynamic range OFF.

Front Panel Access:	Amplitude, Adjust Range
See Also:	[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO

 

STATus Subsystem

The commands in this subsystem relate to the current operating state of the instrument.

Query Operation Status

:STATus:OPERation?

This command requests information about the current status of the instrument. Each bit of the return value represents some operation. Only a subset of the bits will be implemented for each application.

The number returned will be the decimal representation of the bit-wise OR of the enabled bits.

Bit	Decimal Value	Description
0	1	Not implemented
1	2	Not implemented
2	4	Not implemented
3	8	Not implemented
4	16	Not implemented
5	32	Not implemented
6	64	Not implemented
7	128	Not implemented
8	256	Sweep Complete – This bit will be set to 0 when the command :INITiate[:IMMediate] is sent to trigger a sweep. It will have a value of 1 when the sweep has completed.
9	512	Not implemented
10	1024	Not implemented
11	2048	Not implemented
12	4096	Not implemented
13	8192	Not implemented
14	16384	Not implemented
15	0	Will always be 0

 

SYSTem Subsystem

This subsystem contains commands that affect instrument functionality that does not directly relate to data collection, display or transfer.

Query Installed Options

:SYSTem:OPTions?

Returns a string of the installed options. Options will be separated by a “/”.

The string will return “NONE” if no options are installed.

See Also:

*IDN?

 

Preset

:SYSTem:PRESet

This command restores all application parameters to their factory preset values. This does not modify system parameters such as Ethernet configuration, language, volume or brightness.

Front Panel Access:	Shift-1 (Preset), Preset
See Also:	*RST
