3152B User Manual
Publication No. 980935 Rev. A
5-72 Programming Reference
EADS North America Test and Services
the frequency hopping parameters to fine tune the
function for your application.
AHOPping
Discrete
This turns on the amplitude hopping function. Program
the amplitude hopping parameters to fine tune the
function for your application.
3D
Discrete
This turns on the 3D function. Program the 3D
parameters to fine tune the function for your application.
Response
The 3152B returns OFF, AM, FM, SWE, FSK, ASK, PSK, FHOP, AHOP, or 3D depending on the current
modulation type setting.
MODulation:CARRier <frequency>(?)
HS Syntax: 0049A<float>(?)
Description
Programs the CW frequency. Note that the CW waveform is sine only and its frequency setting is separate
from the standard sine waveform. The CW frequency setting is valid for all modulation types.
Parameters

Description
<frequency> 10e-3 to
100e6
Numeric
1e6
Programs the frequency of the carrier waveform in units
of Hz. Note that the CW waveform is a sine only and its
frequency setting is independent of the standard sine
waveform frequency.
Response
The 3152B returns the current carrier frequency value.
MODulation:CARRier:BASeline {CARRier|DC}(?)
HS Syntax: 0048A<0|1>(?)
Description
Programs the carrier baseline when the modulation is used in triggered mode.
Parameters
Name
Type
Default
Description
CARRier
Discrete
CARR
This selects the carrier as the baseline for the
modulation function, when operating in one of the
interrupted run modes. The 3152B will generate a
continuous, unmodulated sinusoidal waveform (CW)
until triggered. Upon receipt of a valid trigger, it
generates the modulated waveform and then resumes
generating continuous CW.
DC
Discrete
This selects DC level as the baseline for the modulation
function, for operation in one of the interrupted run
modes. The 3152B generates continuous DC until
triggered. Upon receipt of a valid trigger, it generates
the modulated waveform and then resumes generating
a continuous DC level.
Response
The 3152B returns CARR or DC depending on the current carrier baseline setting.
