AGC DATA 2.2 E MIN Set AGC table attenuation to 2.2 dB for attenuator E with attenuation of minimum
4.3.2.4.3 Automatic Gain Control Mode - AGC M
The
AGC M
command sets the automatic gain control loop mode.
AGC [M <m>]
- Sets the AGC loop mode to <m>
where: <m> - AGC control mode
A - Automatically select mode based on source
R - Use RF attenuators
I - Use IF attenuators
Setting the AGC Mode to Auto automatically sets the AGC mode to RF/IF based on IF input path (which is based
on the receiver frequency).
Setting the AGC Mode to RF forces control of the RF attenuators and (if the bulk attenuator is set to Auto) the bulk
attenuator under AGC control.
Setting the AGC mode to IF forces control of the IF attenuators under AGC control and disables AGC control of the
bulk attenuator. This also forces AGC Zero to Auto because when playing back recorded signals, such as
demod/playback-demod, the noise floor changes as the AGC in the original recording holds the signal power steady
and allows the noise floor to move. The dynamic range of the AGC closely matches the dynamic range of the auto
zero.
Examples:
AGC M A
Automatically select mode based on source
AGC M R
Set AGC control mode to use RF attenuators
AGC M I
Set AGC control mode to use IF attenuators
4.3.2.4.4 Automatic Gain Control Loop Parameter - AGC L
The AGC L command sets AGC loop parameters.
AGC [L {P <t>|S <t>|A <t>|D <d>|C <d>|T <d>}]
- Set AGC loop parameter
P <t> - Sets period to <t>, 0.000 to 5.464 us
S <t> - Sets sample time to <t>, 0.000 to 2.732 us
A <t> - Sets averaging sample time to <t>, 0.002 to 2100.897 ms
D <d> - Sets deadband to <d>, 0.0000 to 15.9375 dB
C <t> - Sets time constant to <t>, 0.100 to 1000.000 ms
T <d> - Sets power target to <d>, -100.0 to 13.0 dBm
Examples:
AGC L P 0.567
Set AGC loop period to 0.567 µs
