286 Agilent X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference
Arb Commands
Dual ARB Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:ARB)
:MBSync:NSLaves
Supported N5172B/82B
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:MBSync:NSLaves <value>
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:MBSync:NSLaves?
This command enters the number of signal generators designated as slaves in a multiple BBG
synchronization setup. This value is required for both the master and slave signal generators.
This command does not designate which slave position a signal generator occupies. To set the slave
position, see “:MBSync:SREFerence” on page 286.
The NASLaves value is a persistent setting that survives both preset and power cycling.
Example
:RAD:ARB:MBS:NSL 7
The preceding example enters seven as the number of slaves the current signal generator
master/slave setup.
Range 1 to 15
Key Entry Number of Slaves
:MBSync:SLISten
Supported N5172B/82B
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:MBSync:SLISten
For signal generators designated as slaves in the multiple BBG synchronization setup, this command
enables them to receive a one–time baseband synchronization event trigger initiated by the master.
The signal generator receives the trigger signal through the PAT TRIG connector.
Prior to executing this command, ensure that the Dual ARB player and the trigger source for the
master is off.
Since this command is for a one–time event, you must send this command each time there is a need
to synchronize the master/slave setup and prior to initiating the synchronization trigger from the
master signal generator. After executing this command, each signal generator should show a status
register weighting of 256 (waiting for sync). To check the status, see “:REGister[:STATus]” on
page 297. To initiate the synchronization signal, see “:MBSync:SSLaves” on page 287.
Example
:RAD:ARB:MBS:SLIS
The preceding example enables a slave signal generator to receive the synchronization trigger.
