SME SOURce:VOR
1038.6002.02 3.107 E-13
[:SOURce]:VOR:MODE NORM | VAR | SUBCarrier
The command specifies the type of VOR signal generated.
NORM VOR signal
VAR Amplitude modulation of the output signal with the SOURce:VOR:VAR
:FREQuency signal component (usually 30 Hz) of the VOR signal. The modulation
depth is set under SOURce:VOR:VAR:DEPTh.
SUBCarrier Amplitude modulation of the output signal with the unmodulated SOURce:VOR
:SUBCarrier:FREQuency-FM carrier (usually 9960 Hz) of the VOR signal.
The modulation depth is set under SOURce:VOR:SUBCarrier:DEPTh.
FMSubcarrier (FM-modulated s
ubcarrier) Amplitude modulation of the output signal with the
frequency-modulated SOURce:VOR:SUBCarrier:FREQuency FM carrier (usually
9960 Hz) of the VOR signal. The frequency deviation is set under
SOURce:VOR:REFerence:DEViation, the modulation depth under
SOURce:VOR:SUBCarrier:DEPTh. *RST value is NORM
Example: :SOUR:VOR:MODE VAR
[:SOURce]:VOR[:BANGle] 0 to 360 deg
The command sets the Bearing ANG
le between the VAR signal and the reference signal. The
orientation of the angle depends on the setting under SOURce:VOR :BANGle:DIRection.
Example: :SOUR:VOR:BANG 0deg *RST value is 0 Grad
[:SOURce]:VOR[:BANGle]:DIRection FROM | TO
The command determines the orientation of the bearing angle.
FROM The bearing angle is measured between the geographic north and the connection
line from beacon to airplane.
TO The bearing angle is measured between the geographic north and the connection
line from airplane to beacon.
Example: :SOUR:VOR:BANG:DIR TO *RST value is FROM
[:SOURce]:VOR:VAR[:DEPTh] 0 to 100 PCT
The command sets the AM modulation depth of the VAR signal.
Example: :SOUR:VOR:VAR:DEPT 30PCT *RST value is 30PCT
[:SOURce]:VOR:VAR:FREQuency 20 to 40 Hz
The command sets the frequency of the VAR signal. As VAR and reference signal must always
have the same frequency, this setting is also valid for the reference signal.
Example: :SOUR:VOR:VAR:FREQ 30 *RST value is 30 Hz
[:SOURce]:VOR:SUBCarrier:DEPTh 0 to 100 PCT
The command sets the AM modulation depth of the FM carrier. *RST value is 30PCT
Example: :SOUR:VOR:SUBC:DEPT 30PCT
[:SOURce]:VOR:SUBCarrier[:FREQuency] 5 to 15 kHz
The command sets the frequency of the FM carrier. *RST value is 9960 Hz
Example: :SOUR:VOR:SUBC:FREQ 9960
