Basic Function Commands 8
Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz 237
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:REFerence:Set
Sets the current CW output frequency, along with any offset, as a 0 Hz reference value.
*RST +0.0000000000000E+00
:FREQuency:REFerence:STATe
Supported All
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:REFerence:STATe ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:REFerence:STATe?
Enables or disables the frequency reference mode. When the frequency reference mode is
on, changes in the N8211A/N8212A’s CW frequency are displayed relative to the 0 Hz
frequency reference. When the state is off, the front-panel display indicates the true
N8211A/N8212A frequency.
Example
:FREQ:REF:STAT OFF
The example turns off the reference frequency mode.
*RST 0
:FREQuency:SPAN
Supported Option 007
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:SPAN <num>[<freq_suffix>]|UP|DOWN
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:SPAN? [MAXimum|MINimum]
This command sets the length of the frequency range for a ramp sweep. Span setting is
symmetrically divided by the selected center frequency and is coupled to the start and stop
frequency settings. The span range is dependent on the N8211A/N8212A model and option
number.
Example
:FREQ:SPAN 100MHZ
The preceding example sets the frequency span to 100 MHz.
