Device-specific, command or query
*RST; FREQ:STAR 1E+9; STOP 1.1E+9
Reset the analyzer (activating a frequency sweep) and set the sweep range
between 1 GHz and 1.1 GHz.
SYST:COMM:RDEV:GEN1:DEF 'Ext. Gen. 1', 'SME02', 'gpib0', '21'
Configure an R&S SME02 generator as external generator no. 1, assigning the
name Ext. Gen. 1 and a GPIB address 21.
SOUR:FREQ:CONV:ARB:EFR ON, 1, 4, 1E+9, SWE
Switch the generator on and convert the generator frequency to the range
between 1.25 GHz and 1.275 GHz.
SOURce<Ch>:FREQuency<Pt>:CONVersion:ARBitrary:IFRequency <numerator>,
<denominator>, <offset>, CW | FIXed | SWEep
Defines the port-specific source frequency for frequency-converting measurements. The source frequency
is either a range (for frequency sweeps) or a CW frequency (for power, time and CW Mode sweeps).
The frequency formula is applied even if the analyzer returns an error message, because the
frequency is outside the allowed range.
Test port number of the analyzer. Note that the source frequencies at ports 1/2
and at ports 3/4 must be the same if the RF signal is simultaneously fed to two
coupled ports.
<numerator>
<denominator>
<offset>
Parameters of the frequency formula. The source frequency f
s
is calculated
according to
f
s
= <numerator>/<denominator>*f
b
. + <offset>
where f
b
represents the channel base frequency (parameter SWEep). For
parameters CW or FIXed, f
b
= 0.
In manual control, the <offset> is defined as a product of a ratio of two
integers times a multiple of 1 Hz.
The converted frequency or frequency range must be within the analyzer's
frequency range, depending on the instrument model [Hz]. In addition the
following restrictions apply:
<numerator> – Values are rounded to positive or negative integer numbers [1]
<denominator> – Values are rounded to positive integer numbers; zero is not
allowed [1]
<offset> – Values are rounded to (positive or negative) multiples of 1 Hz [Hz].
The default frequency/frequency range corresponds to the sweep range or CW
frequency of the analyzer, i.e.
<numerator> = <denominator> = 1
<offset> = 0 Hz
SWEep – The full formula is applied. For frequency sweeps, the command
defines a sweep range.
