R&S SMC100A Command Description
1411.4060.32 6.99 E-1
TEST Subsystem
The TEST system contains the commands for performing the routines as well as for direct manipulation
of the hardware assemblies (:TEST:DIRect). The self tests return a "0" if the test is performed
successfully, otherwise a value other than "0" is returned. None of the commands of this system have
an *RST value.
NOTICE
Instrument damage caused by using the following commands!
The respective hardware assembly responds directly to the :TEST:DIRect
command; any safety mechanisms are bypassed. The command is used for servicing
purposes and should not be applied by the user. Improper use could destroy the
assembly.
Command Parameters Default
unit
Remark
TEST:DIRect
'assembly, subaddress, hex data string
TEST:DIRect ‘assembly', subaddress, hex data string
The respective hardware assembly responds directly to the command; any safety mechanisms are
bypassed. This function is only available via remote control.
Example:
TEST:DIR 'SSYN',0,#H12345678
TEST:DIR? 'SSYN',0
Response: '#H12345678
*RST value Resolution Options SCPI
- - Device-specific
TRIGger Subsystem
The TRIGger system contains the commands for selecting the trigger source for the RF and LF sweep.
The trigger input connector is configured in the SOURce:INPut subsystem.
The trigger system of the R&S Signal Generator is a simplified implementation of the SCPI trigger
system. The TRIGger system differs from the SCPI system as follows:
• No INITiate command; the instrument behaves as if INITiate:CONTinuous ON were set.
• Under TRIGger several sweep subsystems exist.
Other commands associated with the trigger system of the R&S Signal Generator can be found in the
modulation and RF signal subsystems.
