2.4.6.8 Machine State
This query reads the RF gain, detector gain, ALC threshold, and ALC response time of the amplifier.
Syntax: MSB?
Parameters: None
Query only (always requires a ? character)
Response Format: RF<space>GAIN=x,
DT<space>GAIN=x,
THRES=x,
RESP=y<LF>
Value(x):
For RF Gain, Detector Gain, and ALC Threshold:
0
= Minimum
100 = Maximum
Value(y):
For Response Time:
0
= Minimum
7 = Maximum
Response Time Setting Time (mS)
0 1
1 5
2 10
3 30
4 100
5 1000
6 3000
7 3000
Example: To get the machine state, send the following command:
MSB?<LF>
Response: RF<space>GAIN=100,DT<space>GAIN= 50,THRES= 75,RESP=1 <LF>
(RF gain is 100%, Detector Gain is 50%, ALC Threshold is 75%, and ALC Response Time is set to 5mS)
