SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<1|2>:LINK GPIB | TTL
This command selects the interface type of the external generator 1 or 2.
The following types are available
• GPIB alone (= GPIB, for all the generators of other manufacturers and some Rohde & Schwarz
units)
• GPIB and TTL interface for synchronization (= TTL, for most of the Rohde & Schwarz generators,
see table in command
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator:TYPE
).
The difference between the two operating modes is the execution speed. While, during GPIB
operation, each settable frequency is transmitted separately to the generator, a whole frequency list
can be programmed in one go if the TTL interface is also used. Frequency switching can then be
performed per TTL handshake which results in considerable speed advantages.
Example:
"SYST:COMM:RDEV:GEN:LINK TTL"
'Selects GPIB + TTL interface for generator operation
Characteristics: *RST value: GPIB
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RDEVice:GENerator<1|2>:TYPE <name>
This command selects the type of external generator 1 or 2. For a list of the available generator types
including the associated interface, see chapter
“External Generator Control – Option R&S FSP-B10” ,
section “List of Generator Types Supported by the R&S FSP” on page 4.240 .
Example:
"SYST:COMM:RDEV:GEN2:TYPE 'SME02'"
'Selects SME02 as generator 2.
Characteristics: *RST value: NONE
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A
Only one of the two generators can be operated via the TTL interface at a time.
The other generator must be configured for GPIB.
The command is only available with option Ext. Generator Control, R&S FSP-B10.
Generators with TTL interface can also be operated via GPIB alone.
With NONE selected, the corresponding generator 1 or 2 is deactivated.
The command is only available with option Ext. Generator Control, R&S FSP-B10.
