, 4 = 

OUT 2

HAR[ ]?

 

Sets the harmonic multiplier

 H 

(1 - 15). 

IDN?

 

Identification  query.  Returns  “NEW  FOCUS  3502  CHOPPER 
<Firmware version> <Firmware date>, SN<Serial Number>”. 

KEY*

 

Duplicates the action of pressing a front panel key:  

0 = Right arrow, 1 = Down arrow, 2 = Up arrow, 3 = Left arrow, 4 = Set, 
5 = Measure, 6 = Mode, 7 = Sync, 8 = Wheel. 

MEM*

 

Accesses  instrument  set-up  memory.  0  =  Store,  1  =  Recall.  Use  with 
STO and RCL commands.  

MOD*?

 

Selects the instrument mode. 0 = 

H/S

, 1 = 

+/-

, 2 = 

NORMAL

.  

OSC[ ]?

 

Sets the internal

 

synthesizer frequency to three significant digits. (4.00 

Hz  to  99.9  kHz  in 

EXT+/EXT-

  mode;  range  automatically  limited  in 

INT 

mode).  

PHS[ ]?

 

Sets the phase delay (-180.0 to +179.0).  

RCL[ ]?

 

Selects instrument set-up for recall (0 - 9). 0 - factory default set-up. Use 
with MEM1 command.  

SET*

 

Selects the parameter modified by the arrow keys: 0 - Synth frequency, 
1 - Phase, 2 - Harmonic multiplier, 3 - Subharmonic divisor, 4 - Recall 
set-up, 5 - Store set-up 

STO[ ]?

 

Selects instrument set-up for storage (1-9). Use with MEM command.  

SUB[ ]?

 

Sets subharmonic divide ratio 

S

 (= 1 - 15).  

SYN[ ]?

 

Selects the source of the sync frequency. 0 = 

V

ext

, 1 = 

EXT+

, 2 = 

EXT-

, 3 = 

INT

WHL*?

 

Selects the wheel. 0 = 60 slot wheel, 1 = 42/30 slot wheel, 2 = 7/5 slot 
wheel, 3 = 2 slot wheel, 4 = 100 slot wheel.
