5.6 Functions Can be Set Only for the Remote Control
This clause explains the special functions that can be executed only in the remote
control mode.
5.6.1 Setting the LCD power source
Turn the LCD power source off when the mode is remote control and information
display on the screen is not required so that electric power consumption can be re-
strained. In this operation, the measurement throughput can be improved by turning
off the image operation.
Example of programming by remote control
DISPL OFF /*Turns the LCD power off*/
DISPLON /*Turns the LCD power on (normal display)*/
5.6.2 Setting an image operation
Turn the image operation off when the mode is remote control and information dis-
play on the screen is not required so that the measurement throughput can be im-
proved. This is because time for displaying the measurement result on the screen
after the measurement is omitted. “Screen Off” is displayed when the image opera-
tion is off.
Example of programming by remote control
SCREEN OFF /*Turns the image operation Off*/
SCREEN ON /*Turns the image operation On (normal display)*/
5.6.3 Outputting non-modulation CW signals
Normally, RF signals output from MT8820A are modulated signal. However, out-
put of non-modulation CW signal may be required in the special occasion such as a
performance test. Return to the normal mode that outputs the modulation signal
when a performance test completes.
Example of programming by remote control
MOD OFF /*Outputs non-modulation CW signals*/
MOD ON /*Outputs modulation signals (normal display)*/
5.6.4 Setting a GPIB terminator
Sets a terminator added at the end of a query message for the remote control com-
mand. Set the terminator in conformance with the settings for the remote control
communication program currently being used.
Example of programming by remote control
TRM 0 /*Set the terminator to LF*/
TRM 1 /*Set the terminator to CR/LF*/
