–
presets that use a single harmonic and no doubling
–
presets that use a single harmonic but double the LO
–
presets that use multiple harmonics
Note that the IF/LO port provides a 3.8-14 GHz LO in two bands: 3.8-8.7 (LO
fundamental), and 8.6-14 GHz (doubled LO).
In most cases, once you have executed the preset, you will not need to adjust any
further settings.

VDIWR6PT5M4 selects presets for the VDI WR6.5CCD-M4 external mixer (a Compact Down-Converter
in the Keysight N9029ACST Series)
VDIWR6PT5M4 requires Model N9042B with the EXW option. To use this selection, you must connect
cables from the external mixer to the High LO Out and High IF In ports (not the Ext Mixer port) of the
N9042B
All these presets are detailed in their respective control descriptions
The query returns the most recent preset, unless the harmonic table has been edited after the preset
was executed. If the harmonic table has been edited, returns CUSTOM
The command USB refreshes the USB mixer connection and automatically detects the mixer band. The
query returns the following if a Keysight USB Mixer is plugged into the instrument’s USB port:
USBE
Keysight E-Band USB Mixer
USBV
Keysight V-Band USB Mixer
USBVEXT
Keysight Extended V-Band USB Mixer
USBW
Keysight W-Band USB Mixer
Note that the parameters CUSTOM, USBV, USBVEXT, and USBW are query responses only, and cannot
be sent to the instrument
