5 SCPI Command Reference
:INPut:TVOLtage[?]
Syntax :INPut:TVOLtage ‘identifier’, <NRf>
:INPut:TVOLtage? ‘identifier’
Input
Parameters
‘identifier’:'M*.DataIn1', 'M*.DataIn2', or 'M2.ElectIdleIn'
<NRf>: Specify receiver input termination voltage.
Return Range -1 V to 2.9 V; The range is dependent on other system parameters. See
Command Syntax to Find Min/Max Values on page 108.
Description This command specifies the termination voltage of the selected receiver
input connector. Acceptable units are mV, V and exponents (for example,
300E-3 is the same as 300 mV).
This SCPI is applicable for M8041A, M8051A and M8062A.
Example :INP:TVOL ‘M1.DataIn1’, 300mV
:INPut:TCONfig[?]
Syntax :INPut:TCONfig ‘identifier’, <BALanced|UNBalanced>
:INPut:TCONfig? ‘identifier’
Input
Parameters
‘identifier’: 'M*.DataIn1' or 'M*.DataIn2'
<BALanced|UNBalanced>: Select input termination configuration.
Return Range BAL|UNB
Description This command selects the termination configuration for an input front end.
The following options are available:
BALanced: balanced or differential
UNBalanced: unbalanced with respect to ground (termination voltage)
This SCPI is applicable for M8041A and M8051A.
Example :INP:TCON ‘M1.DataIn1’, BAL
