SENSe<cnum>:SOURce:PLLBandwidth:CATalog?

Applicable Models: M98xxA, P50xxA/B, P93xxB, E5080B, E5081A

(Read-Write) Lists PLL bandwidth type for SENSe<cnum>:SOURce:PLLBandwidth[:VALue].

Parameters

<cnum>

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

Examples

SENSe1:SOUR:PLLB:CAT?
sense2:source:pllbandwidth:catalog?

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:SOURce:PLLBandwidth:CATalog?

Return Type

<sting>, available setting list with comma separated chars

Default

Not applicable

SENSe<cnum>:SOURce:PLLBandwidth[:VALue] <type>

Applicable Models:  M98xxA, P50xxA/B, P93xxB, E5080B, E5081A

(Read-Write) Sets and read the settings for PLL bandwidth for RF source and LO. The source and LO settings are coupled.

Parameters

<cnum>

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

<type>

choose from:

  • AUTO: Use an appropriate PLL bandwidth automatically.

  • NARRow: Use the narrow PLL bandwidth. The phase noise of the RF and local sources decreases while the cycle time increases.

Examples

SENSe1:SOUR:PLLB NARR  
sense2:source:pllbandwidth narrow

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:PLLBandwidth[:VALue]?

Return Type

Enumeration

Default

AUTO

SENSe<cnum>:SOURce<sport>:RECeiver<rport>:GAIN[:VALue] <string>

Applicable Models:  M98xxA, P50xxA/B, P93xxB, E5080B, E5081A

(Read-Write) Sets the gain settings to a specified port. Use SENS:SOUR:REC:GAIN:CAT? to return a list of available gain states for the specified port.

Note: (M983xA) This command works only when the gain coupling is enabled by :SENS:SOUR:REC:GAIN:COUP:ALL.

Parameters

<cnum>

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

<sport>

Source port number of the VNA. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<rport>

Receiver port number of the VNA. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<string>

Receiver gain state. Not case sensitive.

choose from:

  • Auto

  • Low

  • High

Examples

SENSe:SOUR1:REC2:GAIN "Low" ' Low for S21 measurement
sense:source2:receiver2:gain:value "High"  ' High for S22 measurement

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:SOURce<sport>:RECeiver<rport>:GAIN[:VALue] ?

Return Type

<sting>, available setting list with comma separated chars

Default

Not

SENSe<cnum>:SOURce<sport>:RECeiver<rport>:GAIN:ALL[:VALue] <string>

Applicable Models:  M98xxA, P50xxA/B, P93xxB, E5080B, E5081A

(Read-Write) Sets the gain settings to all ports. Use SENS:SOUR:REC:GAIN:CAT? to return a list of available gain states for the VNA.

Note: (M983xA) This command works only when the gain coupling is enabled by :SENS:SOUR:REC:GAIN:COUP:ALL.

Parameters

<cnum>

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

<sport>

Ignored

<rport>

Ignored

<string>

Receiver gain state. Not case sensitive.

choose from:

  • Auto

  • Low

  • High

Examples

SENSe:SOUR1:REC2:GAIN:ALL "Low" ' Low for all measurements
sense:source2:receiver2:gain:all:value "High"  ' High for all measurements

Query Syntax

SENSe<cnum>:SOURce<sport>:RECeiver<rport>:GAIN:ALL[:VALue] ?

Return Type

String. "MIXED" is returned when the settings are not the same.

Default

Auto

Applicable Models:  M98xxA, P50xxA/B, P93xxB, E5080B, E5081A

(Read only) Reads a list of valid state for the receiver gain on the specified port.

Parameters

<cnum>

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