42 Agilent X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference
Basic Function Commands
Frequency Subsystem ([:SOURce])
:FREQuency:CHANnels[:STATe]
Supported All Models
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:CHANnels[:STATe] ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:CHANnels[:STATe]?
This command enables or disables the frequency channel and band selection. The signal generator
frequency will be set to the channel frequency when the state is on. To set frequency channel bands
refer to the :FREQuency:CHANnels:BAND command.
Example
:FREQ:CHAN ON
The preceding example turns on the frequency channel.
*RST 0
Key Entry Freq Channels Off On
:FREQuency[:CW]
Supported All Models
[:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW] <value><unit>
[:SOURce]:FREQuency[:CW]?
This command sets the signal generator output frequency.
*RST The preset value is model/option dependent. Refer to the instrument’s Data Sheet.
Range The range is model/option dependent. Refer to the instrument’s Data Sheet.
Remarks A frequency change may affect the current output power. Refer to the
[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] command for the correct specified frequency and
amplitude settings. To set the frequency mode refer to the :FREQuency:MODE
command.
:FREQuency:FIXed
Supported All Models
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:FIXed <val><unit>|UP|DOWN
[:SOURce]:FREQuency:FIXed?
This command sets the signal generator output frequency, or increments or decrements the current
RF frequency setting.
<val>
A frequency value.
UP Increases the current frequency setting by the value set with the front-panel up-arrow
key.
DOWN Decreases the current frequency setting by the value set with the front-panel
down-arrow key.
*RST Option 501: +10000000000000E+09
