SCPI Command Reference
Description
Sets the frequency of the synthesizer in the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A.
Acceptable units include kHz, MHz, GHz and exponents (for example,
10E9 is the same as 10 GHz).
This SCPI is applicable for M8041A, M8195A, M8062A, M8196A and
M8045A.
The SCPI is read only for M8062A.
Example
:FREQ ‘M1.ClkGen’, 10e9
[:SOURce]:PERiod[?]
Syntax
[:SOURce]:PERiod ‘identifier’, <NRf>
[:SOURce]:PERiod? ‘identifier’
Input
Parameters
‘identifier’: ‘M1.ClkGen’
<NRf>: Set system period.
Return Range
For M8041A: 61.702 ps to 3.906249 ns
For M8195A: 30.77 ps to 3.90625 ns
For M8045A: 15.426 ps to 493.827
Description
Sets the M8020A/M8030A/M8040A system period. The period is the
reciprocal value of the system frequency. This is provided as a convenience
for those who prefer period instead of frequency. Acceptable units include
ps, ns and exponents (for example, 61.702E-12 is the same as 61.702 ps).
This SCPI is applicable for M8041A, M8195A, M8196A and M8045A.
Example
:PER ‘M1.ClkGen’, 61.702ps
[:SOURce]:DRATe[?]
Syntax
[:SOURce]:DRATe ‘identifier’, <NRf>
[:SOURce]:DRATe? ‘identifier’
Input
Parameters
‘identifier’: ‘M2.ClkGen’
<NRf>: Set data rate.
Return Range
512 Mb/s to 32.414 Gb/s
