3 Spectrum Analyzer Mode
3.9 SEM Measurement
:FREQ:CENT?
Notes Sets the RF, External Mixing or I/Q Center Frequency depending on the selected input:
–
For RF input, equivalent to :FREQ:RF:CENT
–
For I/Q input, equivalent to :FREQ:IQ:CENT
–
For External Mixer, equivalent to :FREQ:EMIX:CENT
Preset and Max values are dependent on Hardware Options
If no terminator (for example. 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
Dependencies Not available in the MSR, LTE-Advanced FDD/TDD and 5G NR Modes
Preset Depends on instrument maximum frequency, Mode, measurement, and selected input
See "Center Frequency Presets" on page 1610, and "RF Center Freq" on page 1612,, "Ext Mix Center
Freq" on page 1613, "I/Q Center Freq" on page 1614 and "VXT Models with Radio Heads/CIU
Frequency Range" on page 1612
State Saved Saved in instrument state
Min/Max Depends on instrument maximum frequency, Mode, measurement, and selected input
See "Center Frequency Presets" on page 1610, "RF Center Freq" on page 1612, "I/Q Center Freq" on
page 1614 and "VXT Models with Radio Heads/CIU Frequency Range" on page 1612
