[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer?
Example
:FREQ:CENT 50 MHz
sets Center Frequency to 50 MHz
:FREQ:CENT UP
increments the Center Frequency by the value of CF Step
:FREQ:CENT?
returns the current value of Center Frequency
Notes Preset and Max values are dependent on Hardware Options (5xx), port selections or other aspects of
the particular instrument in use
If no terminator (e.g., MHz) is sent, the terminator Hz is used. If a terminator with unit other than
Frequency is used, an invalid suffix error message is generated
Couplings For E7760A, if the Input Port selected is a mmWave port, and option RF4 is not present, the frequency
of the instrument and source must be the same. Thus, changing this instrument frequency will also
update the source frequency. If option RF4 is present, the frequency of the instrument and source are
independent
Preset Depends on instrument’s maximum frequency, mode, measurement, and selected input
See "Center Frequency Presets" on page 1815 , "RF Center Freq" on page 1817, "Ext Mix Center Freq"
on page 1818, and "I/Q Center Freq" on page 1819
