Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz 235

[:SOURce]:FREQuency:MULTiplier <val>
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:MULTiplier?
Sets the multiplier for the N8211A/N8212A carrier frequency. For any multiplier other than
one, the MULT indicator is shown in the frequency area of the display. The multiplier value
is used to multiply the N8211A/N8212A’s displayed frequency. The true frequency remains
constant. For example, if the N8211A/N8212A frequency is 20 GHz and a multiplier of 3 is
selected, the displayed frequency will be 60 GHz. This feature is useful when working with
mixers and multipliers.
Example
:FREQ:MULT 2
The example sets the carrier multiplier to 2.
*RST +1.00000000E+000
:FREQuency:OFFSet

[:SOURce]:FREQuency:OFFSet <val><units>
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:OFFSet?
Sets the frequency offset. When an offset has been entered, the OFFS indicator appears in
the frequency area of the N8211A/N8212A’s front-panel display and the frequency reading
will include the offset value.
When any non-zero value is entered, the frequency offset state turns on; entering zero turns
it off. To set the offset state independent of entering offset values see
“:FREQuency:OFFSet:STATe.
Example
:FREQ:OFFS 10GHZ
The example sets the frequency offset to 10 GHz.
*RST +0.0000000000000E+00
Range –200 GHz to 200 GHz
