SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator:COUNt?
Queries the number of configured external generators. The response is an integer
number of generators.
Example:
See
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<Gen>:
Usage:
Query only
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<Gen>:DEFine
<GenName>, <Driver>,
<Interface>, <Address>[, <FastSweep>[, <ExtReference>]]
Configures an external generator and adds it to the list of available generators.
Suffix:
<Gen>
.
Number of the configured generator. Generators must be num-
bered in ascending order, starting with 1. If a number is re-used,
the previous generator configuration is overwritten. Generators
can be assigned several times so that the number of configured
generators is practically unlimited.
Parameters:
<GenName>
Name of the external generator (string parameter). An empty
string means that no particular name is assigned to the genera-
tor.
<Driver>
Generator type (string parameter). The generator type is identi-
cal with the name of the generator driver file (
*.gen
) stored in
the resources\extdev subdirectory of the analyzer's program
directory. Type the driver file name as shown in the "Add Exter-
nal Generator" dialog, i.e. without the file extension "
.gen
"
(example: use '
sme02
', if the corresponding driver file name is
sme02.gen
).
Alternative:
The '
<driver>
' string may also contain the gener-
ator driver file name with its complete path, e.g. '
C:\Program
Files\Rohde-Schwarz\Vector Network
Analyzer\ZNA\resources\extdev\sme02.gen
'.
<Interface>
Interface type (string parameter):
'GPIB0'
,
'VXI-11'
,
'socket'
,
'usb-visa'
,
'other'
...
<Address>
Interface address (string parameter), depending on the interface
type. See
Chapter 5.19.5.2, "External Generators dialog"
<FastSweep>
ON | OFF
Optional Boolean parameter, enables or disables the fast sweep
mode.
<ExtReference>
ON | OFF
Optional Boolean parameter, sets the analyzer to internal (OFF)
or external (ON) reference frequency.
