Keysight 53230A - Formats and Data Flow

MEASure:FREQuency:PRF?
Syntax
MEASure:FREQuency:PRF? [{<expected> | MINimum | MAXimum | DEFault} [,{<resolution> | MINimum |
MAXimum | DEFault}]] [,<channel>]
Description
This query sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters to default values for pulse repetition
frequency measurements, then immediately triggers a measurement. The results are sent directly to the
instrument output buffer.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<expected> Numeric 1 Hz to 10 MHz
MIN = 1 Hz
MAX = 10 MHz
1 kHz
<resolution> Numeric 1.0E-15 * <expected> to
1.0E-5* <expected>
MIN = 1.0E-15 * <expected>
MAX = 1.0E-5 * <expected>
Value corresponding to
.1 second gate time
<channel> Expression (@3) (@3)
Remarks
l Available only on the Keysight 53230A. Requires option 150.
l
As defined in the SCPI standard, <resolution> must be specified in absolute frequency (hertz), not as a
fraction of the input signal frequency.
l The gate source (see SENSe:FREQuency:GATE:SOURCE) is set to TIME.
l
The counter uses the <expected> and <resolution> parameters to configure the setting for the
SENSe:FREQuency:GATE:TIME command. The table below shows the relationship between relative res-
olution and gate time in seconds, where relative resolution = <resolution> / <expected>.
