Chapter 2 Command System  RIGOL 
DG800 Programming Guide  2-69 
Queries the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling. 
 
Parameter 
Remarks   
  Select the desired frequency coupling mode (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle:MODE) and set the 
corresponding frequency deviation (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle:OFFSet) or frequency ratio 
before enabling the frequency coupling function (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle[: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 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency: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 
:FREQ:COUP:RAT 100.123    /*Sets the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling to 100.123.*/ 
:FREQ:COUP:RAT?           /*Queries the frequency ratio in the frequency coupling and the query 
returns 1.001230E+02.*/ 
 
 
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle[:STATe] 
 
Syntax   
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle[:STATe] {ON|1|OFF|0} 
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle[:STATe]? 
 
Description 
Enables or disables the frequency coupling function. 
Queries the on/off status of the frequency coupling function. 
 
Parameter 
 
Remarks 
  Select the desired frequency coupling mode and set the corresponding frequency deviation or 
frequency ratio when the frequency coupling function is disabled. After the frequency coupling 
function is enabled, CH1 and CH2 take each other as the reference source. When the frequency of one 
channel (this channel is taken as the reference source) is modified, the frequency of the other channel 
is automatically modified accordingly and always keeps the specified frequency deviation or ratio with 
that of the reference channel. 
  Select the desired frequency coupling mode (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle:MODE) and set the 
corresponding frequency deviation (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle:OFFSet) or frequency ratio 
(
[:SOURce[<n>]]:FREQuency:COUPle:RATio) before enabling the frequency coupling function. You 
cannot set the frequency coupling mode and frequency deviation/ratio after the frequency coupling 
function is enabled. 
  You can also send the 
:COUPling[<n>]:FREQuency[:STATe] command to set and query the on/off
