SUM Subsystem Introduction
[SOURce[1|2]:]SUM:STATe {ON|1|OFF|0}
[SOURce[1|2]:]SUM:STATe?
Disables or enables SUM function.
Parameter
Typical Return
{ON|1|OFF|0}, default OFF
0 (OFF) or 1 (ON)
Enable SUM
SUM:STAT ON
l
You can synchronize the phase between the primary signal and the
SUM
signal by sending
after setting the functions for the primary signal and the
SUM
signal. Otherwise, the phase
between the two signals is arbitrary.
l
To avoid multiple waveform changes, enable SUM after you have configured the other sum parameters.
l
Only one modulation mode may be enabled at a time.
l
The instrument will not allow SUM to be enabled when sweep or burst is enabled. When you enable SUM, the
sweep or burst mode is turned off.
l
With SUM:STATe ON, the sum amplitude plus the carrier amplitude may not exceed either the programmed limits
or the instrument's output rating. If setting SUM:STATe ON would cause either the output rating or the limits to
be exceeded, SUM:STATe will be set OFF and the instrument will report a settings conflict error.
