274 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
9 Analog Commands
:AM:WIDeband:STATe
Supported Option UNT
[:SOURce]:AM:WIDeband:STATe ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:AM:WIDeband:STATe?
Enables or disables wideband amplitude modulation. The RF carrier is modulated when the
modulation state is ON, see “:MODulation[:STATe]" on page 196 for more information. The
N8212A’s I input is used to drive wideband AM modulation.
Example
:AM:WID:STAT 0
The example turns off wideband amplitude modulation.
*RST 0
:AM[1]|2:EXTernal[1]|2:COUPling
Supported All
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:EXTernal[1]|2:COUPling AC|DC
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:EXTernal[1]|2:COUPling?
Sets the coupling type for the selected external input. The command does not change the
active source or switch the modulation on or off. The modulating signal may be the sum of
several signals, with either internal or external sources.
AC Passes only ac signal components.
DC Passes both ac and dc signal components.
Example
:AM1:EXT1:COUP AC
The example sets the AM path 1, external 1 source coupling to AC.
*RST DC
:AM[1]|2:EXTernal[1]|2:IMPedance
Supported All
[:SOURce]:AM[1]|2:EXTernal[1]|2:IMPedance <50|600>
