DUT
DUT, incl. the RF ports designation, as configured in the RF Port
Setup File Editor dialog.
Align
Sends the multi-instrument trigger signal to all instruments to synchronize the base-
bands of the instruments if a valid setup is loaded ("RF Ports Alignment > Setup") and
the "RF Ports Alignment > State" is "On".
Remote command:
:SCONfiguration:RFALignment:ALIGn on page 939
Status
Retrieves and displays information on the internal compensation status and the con-
nected secondary instruments.
"No Setup"
A setup file has not been loaded.
Invalid Setup
Possible causes:
●
The loaded setup file has been removed.
●
The setup file is invalid (RF ports are not configured).
●
Mismatch between the setup and the physical instrument (the
setup is loaded in an instrument that is not the primary instru-
ment).
"Not Active"
The setup file is loaded but "RF Ports Alignment > State = Off".
"Not Aligned"
Indicates one of the following situations:
●
Setup is loaded and "RF Ports Alignment > State = On", system is
not triggered
Execute "Align" to send the multi-instrument trigger signal to all
instruments to synchronize the basebands of the instruments.
●
Setup is loaded and active but frequency value is changed (in pri-
mary or in the secondary instrument).
The instrument with changed frequency value waits for trigger
event.
"Aligned"
The setup is aligned and ready for operation.
