DG800 Programming Guide  2-13 
Example 
:COUP1:FREQ:MODE OFFS /*Sets the frequency coupling mode of CH1 to frequency deviation.*/ 
:COUP1:FREQ:MODE?  /*Queries the selected frequency coupling mode and the query returns OFFS.*/ 
 
 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency:RATio 
 
Syntax 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency:RATio {<value>|MINimum|MAXimum} 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency:RATio? 
 
Description   
Sets the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling of the specified channel. 
Queries the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling of the specified channel. 
 
Parameter 
 
Remarks   
  When [<n>] is omitted, the commands set and query the related parameters of CH1 by default. 
  Select the desired frequency coupling mode (
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency:MODE) and set the 
corresponding frequency deviation (
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency:DEViation) or frequency ratio before 
enabling the frequency coupling function (
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency[:STATe]). You cannot set the 
frequency coupling mode and frequency deviation/ratio after the frequency coupling function is 
enabled. 
  When the frequency coupling function is disabled, if the current frequency coupling mode is frequency 
ratio, sending this command can set the frequency ratio; if the current frequency coupling mode is 
frequency deviation, sending this command can set the frequency coupling mode to frequency ratio 
and set the frequency ratio. 
  You can also send the 
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle:RATio command to set and query the 
frequency ratio in the frequency coupling. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns the frequency ratio in scientific notation. The returned value contains 7 effective digits, 
for example, 1.001230E+02 (the frequency ratio is 100.123). 
 
Example   
:COUP1:FREQ:RAT 100.123  /*Sets the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling of CH1 to 100.123.*/ 
:COUP1:FREQ:RAT?         /*Queries the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling of CH1 and the query      
   returns 1.001230E+02.*/ 
 
 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency[:STATe] 
 
Syntax   
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency[:STATe] {ON|1|OFF|0} 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency[:STATe]? 
 
Description 
Enables or disables the frequency coupling function of the specified channel. 
Queries the on/off status of the frequency coupling function of the specified channel.
