Default	ON

SENSe<ch>:VSA:DATA:STReam[:STATe]

(Read-Write) Set and read the data stream state.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing SA or MOD/MODX channel. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<bool>	Choose from: OFF (or 0) - Do not stream data from VNA to VSA. ON (or 1) - Stream data from VNA to VSA.

SENSe<ch>:VSA:DTRigger[:STATe]

(Read-Write) Set and read the state of the digital trigger. This command is used to make the time domain IQ exported data starting time identical sweep-to-sweep. Disabling this command makes the exported data less stable from sweep-to-sweep.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing SA or MOD/MODX channel. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<bool>	Choose from: OFF (or 0)- Disable digital trigger. ON (or 1)- Enable digital trigger.

Return Type	Boolean
Default	ON

SENSe<ch>:VSA:FREQuency:CENTer

(Read-Write) Set and read the VSA center frequency which determines the LO frequency (LO Freq = VSA Center ± IF Offset) and the display center frequency of the VNA and VSA 89600.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing SA or MOD/MODX channel. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<num>	Center frequency. Choose any number between the minimum and maximum frequency limits of the analyzer. Units are Hz.
Examples	SENS:VSA:FREQ:CENT 6e9
Query Syntax	SENSe<ch>:VSA:FREQuency:CENTer?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	3.021e9

SENSe<ch>:VSA:IF:OFFSet

(Read-Write) Set and read the IF offset used for calculating the LO frequency.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing SA or MOD/MODX channel. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

Examples	SENS:VSA:IF:OFFS 20e6
Query Syntax	SENSe<ch>:VSA:IF:OFFSet?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	21e6
