:SENSe{1-16}:RECEiver:CONFiguration <char>
:SENSe{1-16}:RECEiver:CONFiguration?
Description
Sets the receiver configuration on the indicated channel.
The command parameters available depend on the instrument series and model number, where:
STANdard = The receiver frequency follows the source frequency.
MSOURce = Multiple source receiver configuration. This can be used with or without actual multiple sources. If selected, allows the receiver frequency to be changed by an equation.
MMWBBand = Millimeter-Wave broadband receiver configuration. Sets the receiver to be controlled by equations on the VNA appropriate for Broadband/ Millimeter-Wave systems.
MODBBand = Modular Broadband receiver configuration. Only available on MS4647B VNAs equipped with Broadband 8x option.
MSOURce
For MSOURce (Multiple Source), the equation used depends on whether CW is OFF or ON.
If CW is OFF, Source = (Multiplier / Divisor) × (Frequency + Offset Frequency)
If CW is ON, Source = (Multiplier / Divisor) × Offset Frequency
MMWBBand
For MMWBBand (Millimeter-Wave Broadband), the equations used vary for the LO and RF frequencies:
LO External Source 1 = (Multiplier / Divisor) × (F – 12.35 MHz)
RF External Source 2 = (Multiplier / Divisor) × F
Returns the receiver configuration on the indicated channel.
Cmd Parameters
The available command and query parameters vary depending on the instrument model and installed options:
For MS4647B with Option 80/81 = <char> STANdard | MSOURce | MMWBBand | MODBBand
For MS464xB without Option 80/81 = <char> STANdard | MSOURce | MMWBBand
Query Parameters
<char> STAN | MSOUR | MMWBB | MODBB
Range
NA
Default Value
NA
