5 Instrument Function
5.1 Overview of Instrument Functions
This chapter explains the functions of the R&S SMC and the options available in the
setting menus. The associated SCPI command is specified for each parameter (where
applicable).
The description starts with the general instrument settings which do not directly affect
signal generation. The majority of these settings can be accessed by means of front-
panel softkey menus and not by means of function block menus.
The signal generation functions are then described, beginning with the functions which
affect the RF signal ("RF" block) and the analog modulations ("Mod" block). The config-
uration of the modulation generators (LF generators and pulse generator) and of the LF
sweep is offered in the "Mod Gen" block. The clock synthesis signal is set in the "Clock
Synthesis" block.
The general instrument settings include various functions, such as:
●
Setting a defined basic setup using the PRESET key
see
chapter 5.2.2, "Default Instrument Settings - Preset Key"
●
Switching from remote control to manual control using the LOCAL key
see
chapter 5.2.4, "Switching to Manual Control - Local Key"
●
Configuring the generator and its interfaces in the "Setup" dialog - e.g. setting the
GPIB address, starting an adjustment, querying instrument data
see
chapter 5.2.3, "General Configuration of Instrument - Setup Key"
●
Calling up the online help using the HELP key
see
chapter 5.2.7, "Help System - Help Key"
●
Querying messages using the INFO key
see
chapter 5.2.6, "Messages - Info Key"
●
Loading and storing complete instrument settings in the "File" menu
see
chapter 5.2.8, "Storing and Loading Instrument Data - File Key"
The RF signal and the reference oscillator are configured in the "RF" function block:
●
CW mode
see
chapter 5.3.1, "Overview of RF Signal"
●
Frequency and Level Sweep mode
see
●
Reference Oscillator
see
chapter 5.3.4, "Reference Oscillator"
●
RF Level
see
chapter 5.3.6, "Overview RF Level Settings"
●
RF Level Sweep
