Sense:Offset Commands  Superseded

Note: These commands are replaced by the Sense:FOM commands which include the features of the new FOM dialog. Although these old commands will continue to work, they can NOT be mixed with the new commands.

Sets the offset frequency functions, causing the stimulus and response frequencies to be different.

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:CW <bool>

(Read-Write) Turns stimulus CW Override mode ON or OFF. Use this setting to establish a fixed (CW) stimulus frequency while measuring the Response over a swept frequency range.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<bool>

ON (or 1) - turns CW override ON.

OFF (or 0) - turns CW overide OFF.

Examples

SENS:OFFS:CW ON
sense2:offset:cw off

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:CW?

Return Type

Boolean

Default

OFF

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:DIVisor <num>

(Read-Write) Specifies (along with the multiplier) the value to multiply by the stimulus.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<num>

Divisor value. Range is 1 to 1000  

Examples

SENS:OFFS:DIV 3
sense2:offset:divisor 2

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:DIVisor?

Return Type

Numeric

Default

1

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:MULTiplier <num>

(Read-Write)  Specifies (along with the divisor) the value to multiply by the stimulus.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<num>

Multiplier value. Range is +/- 1000. Negative multipliers cause the stimulus to sweep in decreasing direction. For mixer measurements, this would be for setups requiring the RF frequency to be less than LO frequency

Examples

SENS:OFFS:MULT 2
sense2:offset:multiplier 4

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:MULTplier?

Return Type

Numeric

Default

1

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:OFFSet <num>

(Read-Write)  Specifies an absolute offset frequency in Hz. For mixer measurements, this would be the LO frequency.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<num>

Offset frequency. Range is +/- 1000 GHz.  Offsets can be positive or negative

Examples

SENS:OFFS:OFFS 1GHz
sense2:offset:offset 1e9

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:OFFSet?

Return Type

Numeric

Default

0 Hz

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:STARt?

(Read-Only)  Returns the response start frequency

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

Examples

SENS:OFFS:STAR?
sense2:offset:start?

Return Type

Numeric

Default

Not applicable

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:[STATe] <bool>

(Read-Write)  Enables Frequency Offset Mode on ALL measurements that are present on the active channel. This immediately causes the source and receiver to tune to separate frequencies. The receiver frequencies are specified with the other SENS:OFFSet commands. To make the stimulus settings use the SENS:FREQ commands.

Tip: To avoid unnecessary errors, first make other offset frequency settings, then set Frequency Offset ON.  

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<bool>

ON (or 1) - turns Frequency Offset ON.

OFF (or 0) - turns Frequency Offset OFF.

Examples

SENS:OFFS ON
sense2:offset:state off

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:[STATe]?

Return Type

Boolean

Default

OFF (0)

SENSe<cnum>:OFFSet:STOP?

(Read-Only)  Returns the response stop frequency.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

Examples

SENS:OFFS:STOP
sense2:offset:stop

Return Type

Numeric

Default

Not applicable
