USING THE INSTRUMENT
Overview
This chapter contains information about how to operate the
Model 3152A. Unlike bench-type instruments, the Model 3152A
must be programmed to turn on functions, change parameters
and configure various operating modes. The instrument can be
programmed using a set of SCPI commands. A list of SCPI
commands (and the alternate HS command set) that control the
Model 3152A is given in
Table 4-1.
The following paragraphs
describe the various modes of operation and give examples on
how to program the Model 3152A.
Output
Termination
During use, output connectors must be properly terminated to
minimize signal reflection or power loss due to an impedance
mismatch. Proper termination is also required for an accurate
amplitude level at the main output connector. Use 50
Ω
cables
and terminate the main and SYNC cables with terminating
resistors. Always place the 50
Ω
termination at the far end of the
cables.
Input/Output
Protection
The Model 3152A provides protection for internal circuitry
connected to input and output connectors. Refer to the
specifications in
Appendix
A
to determine the level of
protection associated with each input or output connector.
Power On/Reset
Defaults
At Power On or as a result of a software reset, the Model 3152A
defaults to the conditions shown in
Table 3-1.
A complete list of
all parameters and their default values is given in
Chapter 4.
Use the following command to place the instrument in its default
state:
RESet;
Using the IEEE-STD-488.2 common command *RST will have
the same result.
