3 IQ Analyzer (Basic) Mode
3.1 Complex Spectrum Measurement
[:SENSe]:STReaming:IF:GAIN[:STATe]?
Example
:SPEC:IF:GAIN LOW
:SPEC:IF:GAIN?
Couplings As with most parameters that have an Auto state, Auto Couple sets this function to AUTOrange, which
then selects LOW or HIGH, depending on the IF Path. Setting any specific value (AUTOrange, LOW,
HIGH or OTHer) sets the Auto state to OFF

Example
:SPEC:IF:GAIN:AUTO ON
:SPEC:IF:GAIN:AUTO?
Preset
ON
Auto
Allows the instrument to pick the IF Gain method as appropriate. When in Auto, IF
Gain is set as follows:
–
When the model is N9041B and the IF Path is 1 GHz, HIGH gain is the auto
choice
–
For all other cases, LOW gain is the auto choice
Autorange (Slower: Follows Signals)
Turns the ADC ranging to automatic, which provides the best signal to noise ratio.
