OPTION 008 RF PROFILES AND COMPLEX SWEEP
Annex-B-18
:SEG9?
Responds with parameter settings for segment number specified
(0-9) as follows:
:SWEEP:SEG<nr1>:START <nrf>;STOP <nrf>;
RFLV <nrf>;SIZE <nrf>;TIME <nrf>
Example:
:SWEEP:SEG2:START 125000000.0; STOP 1750000000.0;
RFLV -32.4; SIZE 50000000.0; TIME 20
:XFER:CW
Transfer Paused Carrier value to main parameter
Data type:
None
Allowed Suffices:

Default Suffix:
None
:XFER:RFLV
Transfer Paused RF Level value to main parameter
Data type:
None
Allowed Suffices:
None
Default Suffix:
None
RF profil
Used for specifying a level profile over a frequency range. Consists of relative offsets, from a
presedefined reference level, at user defined frequencies. Linear interpolation is used to calculate
the level between frequency points. Up to 10 profiles can be stored away in non-volatile memory
for future use.
These profiles can be used in conjunction with segmented sweeps as well as in NORMAL
instrument mode, but not with ordinary frequency carrier sweeps.
The following GPIB commands are used to provide GPIB control of the RF profiles.
PROFILE

:STATUS

:NUM
Select Profile (0-9)
Data type:
Decimal Numeric Program Data
Allowed Suffices:
None
Default Suffix:
None
:ENABLE

:SAVE
Store profile setting and status in memory
Data type:
None
Allowed Suffices:
None
Default Suffix:
None
PROFILE:STATUS?
Responds with Selected Profile number (0-9) and Status as follows:
:PROFILE:STATUS:NUM <nr1>;<status>
Example:
:PROFILE:STATUS:NUM 4;ENABLE
To edit a profile, first set the instrument mode to PROFILE
