System
The System group has three buttons that are normally associated
with system control. These are:
Reset
– generates a soft reset to the instrument controls and dialog
boxes and modifies all parameters to factory default. A list of factory
defaults is given in Chapter 5.
Query Error
– queries the 3152B for programming errors. This
command is normally not necessary because ArbConnection won’t
generate settings conflicts or syntax erorrs. But, when sending
SCPI commands to the instrument using the Command Editor,
errors can be generated. An error query allows these errors to be
monitored.
Clear Queue
– clears the error queue. The error queue can buffer
up to 35 errors and then generate a queue overflow message while
ignoring new errors. This command clears the error queue and
allows fresh errors to be captured.
General Information
This general information group of buttons is used for displaying or
monitoring parameters stored in flash memory. These are:
Instrument serial number, Last calibration data, 3152B installed
options, and the installed firmware revision.
Filters
The Filters group has a set of selectors that select the filter
characteristics. Filters can be turned on and off freely as long as
you are not generating a standard sine waveform. The following
filter options are available:
All Off
– no filter is applied to the output path
20MHz
– a Bessel type filter that has a 20 MHz cutoff frequency.
25MHz
– a Bessel type filter that has a 25 MHz cutoff frequency.
50MHz
– a Bessel type filter that has a 50 MHz cutoff frequency.
60MHz
– an Elliptic type filter that has a 60 MHz cutoff frequency.
120MHz
– an Elliptic type filter that has a 120 MHz cutoff frequency.
