FETCh:ORFSpectrum

FETCh:ORFSpectrum:ICOunt?

FETCh:ORFSpectrum:INTegrity?

FETCh:ORFSpectrum:MODulation[:ALL]?

Function

Queries the intermediate count of ORFS multi-measurements completed. This number will climb
to the number returned by

“SETup:ORFSpectrum:ICOunt:MAXimum?” on page 414

Query

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Function

Queries the integrity indicator for the output RF spectrum analyzer measurement. Zero indicates
a normal result.

See

“Integrity Indicator” on page 125

for descriptions of non-zero integrity indicators.

Query

Range: 0 to 16

Resolution: 1

XXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Function

Queries TX Carrier Power, 30 kHz BW Power, and up to 22 comma-separated output RF
spectrum due to modulation (average) results

The

“SETup:ORFSpectrum:MODulation:FREQuency[:OFFSet]”

command sets up the number of

output RF spectrum due to modulation offsets that are turned on and their frequency values. The

“SETup:ORFSpectrum:MODulation:FREQuency:POINts?”

command queries the number of

output RF spectrum due to modulation points that are turned on, indicating the number of
output RF spectrum due to modulation (average) values to expect when you FETCh output RF
spectrum due to modulation results.

Query
