Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz 229

Frequency Subsystem ([:SOURce])

:FREQuency:CENTer

Supported Option 007

[:SOURce]:FREQuency:CENTer <val>[<unit>]|UP|DOWN

[:SOURce]:FREQuency:CENTer? [MAXimum|MINimum]

Sets the center frequency for a ramp sweep. The center frequency symmetrically divides

the selected frequency span and is coupled to the start and stop frequency settings. The

frequency range and reset values are dependent on the signal generator model and option

number.

The query returns the start and stop ramp frequencies if the optional MAXimum or

MINimum are used.

Example

:FREQ:CENT 15GHZ

The example sets the center frequency for a ramp sweep to 15 GHz.
