272 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
9 Analog Commands
Amplitude Subsystem ([:SOURce])
:AM[1]|2
Supported All
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2
This prefix enables the selection of the AM path and is part of most SCPI commands
associated with this subsystem.
AM1 AM Path 1 2 with 1 selected
AM2 AM Path 1 2 with 2 selected
When just AM is shown in a command, the command defaults to path 1.
Each path is set up separately. When a SCPI command uses AM1, only path one is affected.
Consequently, when AM2 is selected, only path two is set up. However, the depth of the
signals for the two paths can be coupled.
The two AM paths can be on at the same time provided the following conditions have been
met:
• dual–sine or swept–sine is not one of the selections for the waveform type
• each path uses a different source (Internal 1, Internal 2, Ext1, or Ext2)
:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:STEP[:INCRement]
Supported All
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:STEP[:INCRement]<num>|MAXimum|MINimum|
DEFault
[:SOURce]:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:STEP[:INCRement]?
Sets the step value for the AM internal frequency.
The step value set by this command is used with the UP and DOWN choices for the
“:AM:INTernal:FREQuency:STEP[:INCRement]" on page 272.
The step value set with this command is not affected by a N8211A/N8212A power-on,
preset, or *RST command.
Example
:AM:INT:FREQ:STEP 1E3
The example sets the step size to 1000 Hz.
Range 0.5–1E6
