Remote Operation
Autozero Phase
PHAS?
Query the autozero switch position in the preamplifier. The re-
sponses are
ZA 0
(while zeroing the input voltage of the main am-
plifier itself) and
ZZ 1
(while zeroing the o
ff
set volage of the zeroing
amplifier). These responses alternate with every cycle of the refer-
ence clock.
The switches are parked in the
ZA
state when autozero is o
ff
.
TOKN ON; PHAS?
Example:
ZZ
Keep PLL Active
APLL(?)
{
z
}
Set (query) the “keep PLL active when autozero is o
ff
” mode of
the preamplifier
{
to
z
=
(
OFF 0
,
ON 1
)
}
.
This setting only applies to the external reference clock direction.
When
APLL
is
OFF
, turning o
ff
the autozero function (
CHOP
OFF
)
will fully halt the PLL oscillator (Section 2.5), ensuring that
no
digital
clock transitions occur. One consequence of
APLL
OFF
is that the
oscillator will require up to 250 s to reestablish the lock to an external
reference when returning to
CHOP
ON
.
Conversely, with
APLL
ON
the internal oscillator will continue to track
an external 1 pps reference clock during
CHOP
OFF
periods. In this
case, there is no re-lock time needed when returning to
CHOP
ON
.
The PLL oscillator always turns o
ff
with
CHOP
OFF
in the internal
reference clock mode.
The
APLL
setting is retained in non-volatile memory, and is
not
mod-
ified by a power-on reset.

Calibration commands
Autocalibration
ACAL
Perform a self-calibration (Section 2.6).
Make sure to disconnect all
inputs and outputs to the SIM918.
Remote commands are not processed
until
ACAL
is complete.
