Arb Commands
Dmodulation Subsystem–N5172B/82B with Option 431 ([:SOURce]:RADio:DMODulation:ARB)
:MDEStination:PULSe
Supported
N5172B/82B with Option 431
CAUTION
The pulse function incorporates ALC hold. Incorrect automatic level control (ALC)
sampling can create a sudden unleveled condition that may create a spike in the RF
output potentially damaging a DUT or connected instrument. Ensure that you set
markers to let the ALC sample over an amplitude that accounts for the high power levels
within the signal.

[:SOURce]:RADio:DMODulation:ARB:MDEStination:PULSe?
This command enables the marker pulse/RF blanking function for the selected marker.
This function automatically uses the ALC hold function, so there is no need to select both the ALC
hold and pulse/RF blanking functions for the same marker.
NOTE
Do not use ALC hold for more than 100 ms, because it can affect the waveform’s output
amplitude.
The signal generator blanks the RF output when the marker signal goes low. The marker polarity
determines when the marker signal is low. For a positive polarity, this is during the marker points.
For a negative polarity, this is when there are no marker points. For setting a marker’s polarity, see
:MPOLarity:MARKer1|2|3|4
.
NOTE
Set marker points prior to using this function. Enabling this function without setting marker
points may create a continuous low or high marker signal, depending on the marker polarity.
This causes either no RF output or a continuous RF output.
The marker signal has a minimum of a two–sample delay in its response relative to the waveform
signal response. To compensate for the marker signal delay, offset marker points from the waveform
sample point at which you want the RF blanking to begin. The RF blanking setting is part of the file
header information, so saving the setting to the file header saves the current marker routing for the
waveform file.
NOTE
A waveform that has unspecified settings in the file header uses the previous waveform’s
routing settings. This could create the situation where there is no RF output signal, because
the previous waveform used RF blanking.
For more information on the marker RF blanking function, see the
User’s Guide
.
NONE
This terminates the marker RF blanking/pulse function.
M1–M4
These are the marker choices. The RF blanking/pulse feature uses only one marker
at a time.
Example
:RAD:DMOD:ARB:MDES:PULS M2
The preceding example routes marker 2 to Pulse/RF Blanking.
