Programming with GPIB Commands 2-14 Configuration Commands
MG369xC GPIB PM PN: 10370-10374 Rev. F 2-39
2-14 Configuration Commands
Table 2-15 lists the configuration command mnemonic codes. These commands permit selection/setting of the
following system configuration items via the bus:
• A +5V or –5V level for the rear panel retrace and bandswitch blanking outputs
• Setting the frequency scaling reference multiplier value
• Normally-open or normally-closed contacts on the internal penlift relay
• RF on or RF off during frequency switching in CW, step sweep, and list sweep modes
• RF on or RF off during sweep retrace
• RF on or RF off at reset
• 40 dB or 0 dB of attenuation when RF is switched off in units with a step attenuator (Option 2)
The system configuration selections made with GPIB commands remain in effect when the instrument is
returned to local control.
