:PA Commands
The :PA commands are used to set and query the related information when the external power amplifier
(PA) is used, including setting and querying the on/off status, gain, output polarity and offset of the PA as
well as saving the working status of the PA to the internal memory of the instrument.
Command List:
 :PA:GAIN
 :PA:OFFSet[:STATe]
 :PA:OFFSet:VALUe
 :PA:OUTPut:POLarity
 :PA:SAVE
 :PA[:STATe]
:PA:GAIN
Syntax :PA:GAIN {1X|10X}
:PA:GAIN?
Description Set the gain of the signal amplification at the output terminal of the PA to 1X or 10X.
Query the gain of the signal amplification at the output terminal of the PA.
Parameter Name Type Range Default
{1X|10X} Discrete 1X|10X 1X
Explanation 1X denotes outputting the signal without any gain. 10X denotes amplifying the signal
for 10 times and then outputting it.
Return Format The query returns 1X or 10X.
Example :PA:GAIN 10X /*Set the gain of the signal amplification at the output terminal of
the PA to 10X*/
:PA:GAIN? /*Query the gain of the signal amplification at the output terminal
of the PA and the query returns 10X*/
