Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz 233
Sets the N8211A/N8212A output frequency, or increments or decrements the current RF
frequency setting.
<val> A frequency value.
UP Increases the current frequency setting by the value set with the
“:FREQuency[:CW]:STEP[:INCRement]" on page 239.
DOWN Decreases the current frequency setting by the value set with the
“:FREQuency[:CW]:STEP[:INCRement]" on page 239.
To set the frequency mode, see “:FREQuency:MODE" on page 234. For a listing of
N8211A/N8212A frequency and power specifications, refer to
“[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]" on page 269.
Example
:FREQ:FIX 10GHZ
The preceding example sets the N8211A/N8212A frequency to 10 GHz.
:FREQuency:MANual
Supported Option 007
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:MANual <val><unit>
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:MANual?
Sets the RF output frequency when performing a ramp sweep in manual mode. The
frequency value selected must fall within the range of the current start and stop frequency
settings.
Entering a value with this command has no effect unless manual sweep mode is on. Refer
to “:SWEep:MODE" on page 252 for setting the mode.
The variable <val> is a numeric value. The <units> variable can be expressed in HZ, KHZ,
MHZ, or GHZ.
