Remote Command
[:SENSe]:ROSCillator:SOURce:TYPE INTernal | EXTernal | SENSe | PULSe
[:SENSe]:ROSCillator:SOURce:TYPE?
Example
:ROSC:SOUR:TYPE SENS
:ROSC:SOUR:TYPE INT
:ROSC:SOUR:TYPE EXT
:ROSC:SOUR:TYPE PULS
Dependencies The PULSe parameter, and support of the 1 pps signal at the EXT REF IN input, are not available in
some models. If not available, the choice does not appear, and sending the PULSe parameter via SCPI
generates an error
For VXT models M9420A/10A/11A/15A and M9410E/11E/15E/16E the only available selection is
EXTernal, unless M9420A/10A/11A/15A is configured in MIMO mode as Primary module. If
configured in MIMO mode as Primary module, the available selection is INTernal | EXTernal
| SENSe
For EXM the only available selections are INTernal | EXTernal | SENSe
For E7760B and M8920A/20B the only available selections are INTernal | EXTernal
Not available in UXM
Preset Unaffected by Preset, but set to EXTernal in VXT models M9420A/10A/11A/15A, INTernal for
E7760B, and SENSe for other models, by Restore Input/Output Defaults or Restore System Defaults-
