31
yyyy is a decimal digit value between 1 and 3000, valid if x = S.
Description:
The command sets/interrogates the frequency sweep time of the output signal on the
OUTPUT
jack. The command is available only on
INTERNAL SWEEP
mode.
If x = S the sweep time will take values between 0.01 s and 30.00 s. If x = I the
sweep time will be sent to terminal.
Example:
CSS333 – sets the sweep time value at 3.33 s.
Message returned to terminal:
“Sweep time: yy.yy s”
if the command is sent correctly.
“Wrong value sent”
if the “yyy” parameter sent is not a valid value.
“Command not allowed in current mode”
if
INTERNAL SWEEP
mode isn’t the
current working mode.
CV command
Syntax:
CVx
Parameters:
x represents a digit that has only 2 valid values: “0” or “1”.
Description:
The command sets the way in which the frequency is modified during a frequency
sweep. This command is available only on
INTERNAL SWEEP
mode.
If x=0, the linear sweep mode is engaged
If x=1, the logarithmic sweep mode is engaged
Example:
CV0
Message returned to terminal:
“Linear sweep mode engaged”
if x=0.
“Logarithm sweep mode engaged”
if x=1.
“Unavailable command”
if x is not a valid value.
“Command not allowed in current mode”
if the
INTERNAL SWEEP
mode is not
the current working mode.
CE command
Syntax:
CEx
Parameters:
x represents a digit who has only 3 valid values: “0”, “1”, “2”.
Description:
The command sets the output signal type: sine, triangle or square on the main output,
OUTPUT
jack. The command is available only on
EXTERNAL VCG
and
INTERNAL SWEEP
mode.
If x = 0, a sine wave signal is outputted on
OUTPUT
jack.
If x = 1 a triangle wave is outputted on
OUTPUT
jack.
If x = 2 a square wave is outputted on
OUTPUT
jack.
Example:
CE0
Message returned to terminal:
“Sine function generated”
if x = 0.
“Triangle function generated”
if x = 1.
“Square function generated”
if x = 2.
“Function not implemented”
if x digit sent was not a valid value.
