: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
