304 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
9 Analog Commands
Enables or disables the phase modulation for the selected path. The RF carrier is modulated
when you set the N8211A/N8212A’s modulation state to ON, see
“:MODulation[:STATe]" on page 196 for more information.
Example
:PM2:STAT 1
The example turns on ΦM path 2 phase modulation.
*RST 0
:PM[1]|2[:DEViation]
Supported Option UNT
[:SOURce]:PM[1]|2[:DEViation] <val><units>|UP|DOWN
[:SOURce]:PM[1]|2[:DEViation]?
Sets the deviation of the phase modulation. The variable <units> will accept RAD (radians),
PIRAD (pi-radians), and DEG (degrees); however, the query will only return values in
radians. If deviation tracking is active, a change to the deviation value on one path will apply
to both.
The command, used with the UP|DOWN parameters, will change the deviation by a
user-defined step value. Refer to the “:PM[:DEViation]:STEP[:INCRement]" on page 306 for
setting the value associated with the UP and DOWN choices.
Example
:PM1 135DEG
