SCPI Command Reference

 

Description

This command enables/disables the low frequency periodic jitter source.

This SCPI is applicable for M8041A, M8051A, M8061A, M8062A and 

M8045A.

Example

:JITT:LFR:PER ‘M1.ClkOut’, off

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:PERiodic:AMPLitude[?]

Syntax

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:PERiodic:AMPLitude ‘identifier’, <NRf>

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:PERiodic:AMPLitude? ‘identifier’

Input 

Parameters

‘identifier’: 'M*.DataOut1', 'M*.DataOut2', M1.ClkOut’, or ‘M*.DataOut’

<NRf>: Set periodic low frequency jitter amplitude.

Return Range

NRf

Description

This command sets the amplitude of the periodic low frequency jitter in 

unit intervals or time for the specified output. The units are set using the 

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:UNIT command.

This SCPI is applicable for M8041A, M8051A, M8061A, M8062A and 

M8045A.

Example

:JITT:LFR:PER:AMPL ‘M2.DataOut2’, 1

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:PERiodic:FREQuency[?]

Syntax

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:PERiodic:FREQuency ‘identifier’, <NRf>

[:SOURce]:JITTer:LFRequency:PERiodic:FREQuency? ‘identifier’

Input 

Parameters

‘identifier’: 'M*.DataOut1', 'M*.DataOut2', M1.ClkOut’, or ‘M*.DataOut’

<NRf>: Set periodic jitter frequency.

Return Range

NRf

Description

This command sets the frequency of the periodic jitter. Acceptable units 

include Hz, kHz, MHz and exponents (for example, 1E3 is the same as 

1,000 Hz).

This SCPI is applicable for M8041A, M8051A, M8061A, M8062A and 

M8045A.

Example

:JITT:LFR:PER:FREQ ‘M2.DataOut2’, 1e6
