These native commands allow the user to program all front panel and menu functions (except for power on/standby). Each native command is mnemonic code that represents an instrument command or parameter; for example: RST (reset).

Table: MG362x1A Native Command Codes Listed by Function (1 of 2) is a listing of all MG362x1A native command mnemonic codes grouped into functional categories. The listing for each category includes references to the paragraph and page number in this chapter where a complete description of that group of commands can be found.

The MG362x1A signal generator does not accept parameter or data entries in an exponential or scientific notation format. The accepted data formats are as follows:

Open a parameter command for data entry. Parameter commands are listed in each corresponding parameter table in this chapter.

When a parameter is open for data entry, its value can be changed as follows:

An appropriate data terminator must be used to terminate a numeric-parameter entry, and it must immediately follow the numeric value. If it does not, a parameter entry error will result.

The parameter and data entry commands do not affect the signal generator’s output unless the parameter being changed is also the current output parameter. The commands, therefore, may be used to change the preset values of parameters without altering the MG362x1A output.
