Changing the Signal Generator Identification String
:SYSTem:IDN
Supported All
:SYSTem:IDN "<string>"
This Agilent MXG signal generator command modifies the identification string that the *IDN? query
returns. Sending an empty string returns the *IDN? query output to its factory shipped setting. The
maximum string length is 72 characters.
Modification of the *IDN? query output enables the Agilent MXG signal generator to identify itself as
another signal generator when it is used as a backward compatible replacement. This modification of
the identification string does not affect the display diagnostic information, which is shown by
pressing the Diagnostic Info softkey.
