COMMAND SUMMARY

positions to the bandwidth, < 20 Hz and > 100

but any

numeric is accepted. The value is compared to 1

and the correct

position is determined (> 1

sets the position to 100

and

1

sets the position to 20 Hz). After

the value is 100

l

suffix]

l

FM:INTernal:FREQuency?

Sets and queries the frequency (in Hz) of the internal FM source.

After

the value is 1 MHz.

l

FM:INTernal:FUNCtion

l

FM:INTernal:FUNCtion?

Sets and queries the waveform of the internal FM source.

After

the value is

l

l

FM:SOURce?

Sets and queries the source of the FM modulating signal.

After

the value is

l

FM:SENSitivity

suffix/V]

l

FM:SENSitivity?

Sets and queries the FM Input sensitivity.
The *RST value is MAX (10 MHz/V) .

l

FM:STATe

l

FM:STATe?

Sets and queries the FM modulation state.
After

the value is OFF.

Frequency Subsystem

Any two frequency setting headers

STOP,

or

SPAN) may be sent in a single message and the resulting sweep

is what was requested. The order of the headers in the message

does not make any difference in the final result. When a message is
completed, coupling equations are used to fix the unset parameters to

the correct values. These equations specify that:

center frequency = (start + stop) 2

frequency span = (stop start)

If more than two are sent then the last two in the message are used
to determine the sweep and no errors are given.

If only one header is sent in a message, then the assumed pairs are
center/span and start/stop. In other words, if only center is sent,
then span is kept constant (if possible) while adjusting center to the
requested value. The start/stop frequencies are updated to reflect the
changes based on the coupling equations.
