Parameters

<ch>

Channel number of phase control measurement. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

Phase controlled port number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<bool>

Coupling state. Choose from:

ON or 1 - Couple phase control settings. The phase control settings from <port> are copied to the other phase-controlled ports.

OFF or 0 - Do NOT couple phase control settings. The phase control settings for each phase-controlled port are made independently.

[src]

Phase controlled port number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<num>

Reference port number. ONLY specific ports are available to be a reference for each source port. Learn more.

Use the SOURce:PHASe:REFerence:CATalog? command to see which ports are available.

[src]

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional argument.

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 outputs on the 2-port PNA-X model with multiple sources such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

Examples

The following sets source port "Port 1 Src2" on channel 2 to use "Port 1" as the phase reference

SOUR2:PHAS:REF:PORT 1,"PORT 1 Src2"

The following sets source port 2 on channel 1 to use Port 1 as the phase reference

source:phas2:REF:PORT 1

Query Syntax

SOURce<ch>:PHASe<port>:REFerence:PORT? [src]

Return Type

Character

Default

3

Applicable Models: All with phase control option S9x088A/B

(Read-Write) Write and read the start value of phase sweep. Must also send SENS:SWE:TYPE PHASe to put the analyzer into phase sweep mode.

Parameters

<ch>

Channel number of phase control measurement. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

Phase controlled port number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<num>

Start phase value in degrees. Choose a value between -360 and 360.

[src]

String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional argument.

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 outputs on the 2-port PNA-X model with multiple sources such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority.

Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names.

Examples

SOUR:PHAS2:STAR 60

source2:phase:start 120,"Port 1 Src2"

Query Syntax

SOURce<ch>:PHASe<port>:STARt? [src]

Return Type

Numeric

Default

0 degrees

Applicable Models: All with phase control option S9x088A/B

(Read-Write) Write and read the stop value of phase sweep. Must also send SENS:SWE:TYPE PHASe to put the analyzer into phase sweep mode.

Parameters

<ch>

Channel number of phase control measurement. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<port>

Phase controlled port number. If unspecified, value is set to 1. To make settings for ports that are not simple numbers, use the [src] argument.

<num>

Stop phase value in degrees. Choose a value between -360 and 360.

[src]
