<src>

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source 2 outputs on the 2-port 2-source PNA-X model such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

Examples

SENS:DIQ:PORT1:POW:ATT:AUTO 1

sense2:diq:port3:power:attenuation:auto off,"Port 1 Src2"

Query Syntax

SENSe<ch>:DIQ:PORT<port>:POWer:ATTenuation:AUTO? [src]

Return Type

Boolean

Default

ON

(Read-Write) Sets and reads the start value of a power sweep.

Parameters

<ch>

The Differential IQ channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

(Integer) Source port number.

<value>

(Numeric) Power sweep start value in dBm. Choose start and stop value within a single attenuator range of the analyzer (generally about 30 dB).

<src>

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

Query Syntax

SENSe<ch>:DIQ:PORT<port>:POWer:STARt? [src]

Return Type

Numeric

Default

-5 dBm

(Read-Write) Sets and reads the stop value of a power sweep.

Parameters

<ch>

Return Type

Numeric

Default

-5 dBm

(Read-Write) Sets and reads the state of sweeping power.

On the Source Configuration dialog under Power, this is the Sweep Power (On|Off) setting.

Parameters

<ch>

The Differential IQ channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

(Integer) Source port number.

<value>

(Boolean) Sweep Power state. Choose from:

• ON or 1 - Perform power sweep.

• OFF or 0 - Do not perform power sweep.

<src>

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

Query Syntax

SENSe<ch>:DIQ:PORT<port>:POWer:SWEep[:STATe]? [src]

Return Type

Boolean

Default

OFF

(Read-Write) Sets and reads the frequency range number to which the specified source port will be set.

At the top of the Source Configuration dialog this is the Frequency Range setting.

Parameters

<ch>

The Differential IQ channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

(Integer) Source port number.

<value>

(Integer) Frequency range number.

sense2:diq:port3:range 2,"Port 1 Src2"

Query Syntax

SENSe<ch>:DIQ:PORT:RANGe? [src]

Return Type

Integer

Default

1

(Read-Write) Sets and reads the ON / OFF state of the source specified by <port>.

At the top of the Source Configuration dialog this is the Source State setting.

Parameters

<ch>

The Differential IQ channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

(Integer) Source port name.

<value>

(Character) Choose from:

AUTO - Source power is turned ON at the specified test port when required by the measurement. This is the most common (default) setting.  Auto sources are turned OFF when other sources are performing Match Correction sweeps.

ON - Source power is ALWAYS ON, regardless of measurements that are in process. Use this setting to supply source power to a DUT port that always requires power, such as an LO port. This could turn OFF power at another test port. Learn about internal second source restrictions.

OFF - Source power is never ON, regardless of the measurement requirements. Use this setting to prevent damage to a sensitive DUT test port.
