Pattern Generator CLOCK IN
Pattern Generator CLOCK IN
The SENSE6 query commands indicate the status of the pattern generator's CLOCK IN
port.
SENSe6:FREOuency [:CW|:FIXed]?
Returns the frequency of the clock signal at the pattern generator clock input port.
SENSe6:BANDswitch?
The response to “SENSe6:BANDswitch?” is an integer in the range 0…3 indicating the
frequency band configured by the pattern generator.
The response should be interpreted within the controller to mean:
0 a through (non-band limited) clock path is configured due to the measured
input frequency being out of range or unstable. In this configuration no
user adjustment of the clock to data delay is available.
1 the configured clock path has a 0.1 GHz to 3.1 GHz pass band.
2 the configured clock path has a 2.9 GHz to 6.1 GHz pass band.
3 the configured clock path has a 5.9 GHz to 13.1 GHz pass band.
Whenever the Agilent 71612 is to be used at a number of frequencies, the functions
embodied in the BASIC language example given in Clock Stabilization on page 9-2
should be employed.
