Whenever the best possible EVM performance is required or in use cases where DC and image rejection of I/Q modulation impact measurement results. I/Q DC alignment should be used after the instrument has been warmed up or whenever significant room temperature changes occur. It should be run at least once for each frequency the instrument set to. After each alignment is run, the calibration data is cached for each set frequency. This caching allows you to tune from frequency A to frequency B and back to frequency A with the most recent DC-alignment applied. If the instrument is power cycled, it is recommended that you perform these I/Q DC alignments again. You can also empirically determine how often this DC alignment should be performed, based on how sensitive your measurements are and how much temperature variation you observe over time.
Applies to the M9383B VXG-m and M9384B VXG only.
Returns the I/Q DC Alignment data at the current frequency to the factory default. You can use this when diagnosing signal quality issues. However, it is recommended to simply run the I/Q DC Alignment anew rather than clearing the alignment.

Whenever the best possible wideband EVM performance is required (approximately 1 GHz or greater) or in use cases where wideband I/Q skew impacts measurement results. In most cases, the I/Q skew alignment should not be run often. However, the baseband I/Q paths in the VXG signal generator can be temperature sensitive and, depending on the I/Q data being played from the arbitrary waveform generator, there is a self-heating thermal gradient that could occur between the I and Q path. (This is especially true for OFDM-based I/Q waveforms having a bandwidth greater than 1 GHz.) This thermal gradient can result in one to two pico-seconds of time skew at the extreme bandwidth edges of the I/Q modulation. Thermal mitigation techniques have been deployed to minimize this effect, however, you may empirically decide to run this calibrations more often, if needed.
Applies to the M9383B VXG-m and M9384B VXG only.
Returns the I/Q Time Skew Alignment data to the factory default. You can use this when diagnosing signal quality issues. However, it is recommended to simply run the I/Q Time Skew Alignment anew rather than clearing the alignment.

INTernal1:FUNCtion correlates to Function 1, INTernal2:FUNCtion to Function 2. When NOISe, DUALsine, or SWEPtsine is selected, this command will not change the FM Source but comprise a Noise, Dual, or Swept Function Generator respectively. When specified source is Function 1 and shape is DUALsine, Function 1 comprises a dual function using dual function settings, apart from:
Once shape is set to NOISe, DUALsine, or SWEPtsine, the FM source can only be restored to the true Function 1 or 2 from the given comprised function when shape is set to SINE|TRIangle|PULSe|RAMP|SQUare. |

For instruments with Option PME or PMR, Pulse Modulation of the RF Output is available.
When pulse modulation is in use, the instrument provides a logic-high output on a connector which can be used to trigger external equipment when the signal generator’s pulse operation has initiated.
See STrig In.
The instrument also provides an output which is logic-high when the RF Output is on and logic-low when the RF Output is off. See Pulse (Video) Output.
For the pulse types that are triggered, the trigger signal is applied as follows, depending on your instrument model:

For the M9484C, note the following:
Pulse modulation cannot be on at the same time as I/Q modulation; enabling pulse modulation disables I/Q modulation.
Event connectors 1-3 have fixed outputs when Pulse is on:
Pulse Sync outputs to Event 1
Pulse Video outputs to Event 2
Event 3 has no output
The following values are used to derive the limits of various pulse settings:

The instrument’s internal circuitry provides the pulsing of the RF Output.
Sets the pulse type from the choices in the following table.
|
Square |
Sets Square as the pulse modulation source. This is an immediately initiated pulse with a 50% duty cycle. The period is determined by the requested frequency. |
|
Free Run |
Sets Free Run as the pulse modulation source. This is an immediately initiated pulse. You can define the period, width, and delay. |
|
Pulse Train |
With Option 320, produces an RF pulse train (up to 2047 distinct cycles) with user-defined widths at the RF OUTPUT connector when a trigger condition occurs. The Pulse Train Trigger Mode selection determines when the pulse train is initiated. When the Pulse Train Trigger Mode is Triggered, the external signal must be connected to:
Triggers which occur while pulse train is executing are ignored. |
|
Adjustable Doublet |
Sets Adjustable Doublet as the pulse modulation source. This selection produces two pulses at the RF OUTPUT connector for each trigger event at the:
The first pulse has a user-defined width and delay (from the rising edge of the Pulse Sync Out signal). The second pulse has a user-defined width and delay (from the rising edge of the first pulse). Triggers which occur while adjustable doublet is executing are ignored.
|
|
Triggered |
Sets Triggered as the pulse modulation source. This selection produces an RF pulse with a user-defined width and delay at the RF OUTPUT connector when a valid trigger signal occurs at the:
Triggers which occur while the second pulse is executing are ignored. |
|
Triggered Doublet |
For M9383B/M9384B only. Sets Triggered Doublet as the pulse modulation source. This produces two pulses at the RF OUTPUT connector for each trigger event at the:
The first pulse follows the external trigger signal. The second pulse has user-defined width and delay parameters. Triggers which occur while the second pulse is executing are ignored. |

For Pulse Source Types of Free Run, Adjustable Doublet, Triggered, Triggered Doublet, and Gated, sets the pulse width for the internally generated pulse modulation. The command, used with the UP|DOWN parameters, will change the pulse width by a user-defined step value. Refer to pulse width increment for setting the value associated with the UP and DOWN choices.
Use PWIDth1 with the DOUBlet parameter and PWIDth1 and PWIDth2 with the ADOublet parameter. Refer to Pulse Type.
The coupling of width is dependent upon the pulse type:
Constraint: Width ≤ Pulse Period – Positive value of Delay – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for the Width is > Pulse Period – Pulse Positive value of Delay – Off Time Minimum, the Pulse Delay is reduced to a minimum of 0 seconds. If the entered value of Width is still larger than the constraint, Width is set to Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum. Thus, if larger values of Width are desired, set the Pulse Period value first.
Constraint: Pulse Delay1 + Maximum(Width1 or (Pulse Delay2 + Width2)) + Off Time Minimum must be ≥ the minimum of one width + Off Time Minimum, and maximum Pulse Period
If the entered value for Width1 is > maximum Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum – the current value for Pulse Delay1, Pulse Delay1 is reduced.
If the entered value for Width2 is > maximum Pulse Period – Pulse Delay1 – Off Time Minimum – the current value for Pulse Delay2, Pulse Delay2 is reduced. If the result yields Pulse Delay2 of 0 seconds, and the entered Width2 is still larger than allowed, Width2 is limited to the remaining value.
Constraint: Pulse Delay + Width + Off Time Minimum must be ≥ the minimum Width + Off Time Minimum, and ≤ maximum Pulse Period
If the entered value for Width is > maximum Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum – the current value for Pulse Delay, Pulse Delay is reduced.
Constraint: Width ≤ Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for the Width is > Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum, the Width is set to Period – Off Time Minimum. Thus, if larger values of Width are desired, set the Pulse Period value first.

For Pulse Source Types of Square, Free Run, Pulse Train, Adjustable Doublet, Triggered, and
For Pulse Source Types of Square and Free Run, Delay establishes the point in time where the Sync Trigger is raised relative to the Pulse Width: positive Delay values shift Pulse Width after Sync Trigger, negative Pulse Delay values shift Pulse Width before Sync Trigger. For the other pulse source types, Delay establishes the point in time where the Pulse Width begins.
Use Delay1 with Pulse Type of Triggered Doublet, and Delay1 and Delay2 with Pulse Type of Adjustable Doublet. Delay2 is valid only when Pulse Type is Adjustable Doublet.
The coupling of delay is dependent upon the pulse type.
For positive values of Delay:
Constraint: Delay ≤ (1/2 * 1/Actual Frequency) – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for Delay is > (1/2 * 1/Actual Frequency) – Off Time Minimum, the Delay will be clipped. Thus, if larger values of Delay are desired, set the Requested Frequency value first.
For negative values of Delay:
Constraint: |Delay| ≤ (1/Actual Frequency) – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for |Delay| is > (1/Actual Frequency) – Off Time Minimum, the Delay will be clipped. Thus, if larger negative values of Delay are desired, set the Requested Frequency value first.
For positive values of Delay:
Constraint: Delay ≤ Pulse Period – Pulse Width – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for Delay is > Pulse Period – Pulse Width – Off Time Minimum, the Pulse Width is reduced to the limit of minimum Pulse Width. If the entered value for Delay is still larger than the constraint, Delay will be clipped. Thus, if larger values of Delay are desired, set the Pulse Period value first.
For negative values of Delay:
For M9383B, M9384B, and M9484C:
Constraint: |Delay| ≤ Period – Off Time Minimum
When pulse train trigger mode is Triggered, Delay specifies the time after a trigger is received before the first Pulse Train On Time starts.
When pulse train trigger mode is Free Run or Gated, Delay is not applicable.
Constraint: Delay1 + Maximum (Pulse Width1 or (Delay2 + Pulse Width2)) + Off Time Minimum must be ≥ the minimum of one width + Off Time Minimum, and ≤ maximum Pulse Period
If the entered value for Delay1 is > maximum Pulse Period – the current value for Pulse Width1 – Off Time Minimum, Pulse Width1 is reduced to the limit of the minimum Pulse Width or the sum of Delay2 + Pulse Width2.
If the entered value for Delay2 is > maximum Pulse Period – Delay1 – the current value for Pulse Width2 – Off Time Minimum, Pulse Width2 is reduced to the limit of minimum Pulse Width.
Constraint: Delay ≤ maximum Pulse Period – Pulse Width – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for the Delay > maximum Pulse Period – current value of Pulse Width – Off Time Minimum, Pulse Width is reduced to the limit of minimum Pulse Width. If the entered value for Delay is still larger than the constraint, the Delay will be clipped

Notes |
The pulse generator works off a 100 MHz clock, therefore pulse on and off times will have a 10 ns resolution, or a periodicity resolution of 20 ns. So setting 9 MHz would result in an actual frequency of 8.3333 MHz because 9 MHz at 50% duty cycle would require on and off pulses of 55.555 ns each. The clock resolution is 10 ns, therefore the on and off pulses ended up being rounded to 60 ns each or a total period of 120 ns. A periodicity of 120 ns = 8.33333 MHz. See Actual Frequency query to obtain the resultant value. |

Pulse train requires Option 320 and is dependent on already having Option PME/PMR.
Pulse Train establishes a series of pulses to be applied to the RF Output when the trigger condition is met. The pulse train can be 1 to 2047 pulses. When defining the pulse train, the number of pulses is established by the setting with the most elements in the parameter list.
For M9484C, the total of all the On Times and Off Times, including repetitions, must be at least 30 ns for Trigger Mode of Free Run, or 4.010 us for the Trigger Mode of Triggered. Ensure your composition of the Pulse Train is at least this length.
Sets the pulse on values for the current list of pulse train on times. If this list is shorter than the other lists, then the last element will be repeated as necessary to match the length of the Off Time or Repetitions. The query returns the count of pulse cycle elements in the list of on times.
For M9484C, the total of all the On Times and Off Times, including repetitions, must be at least 30 ns for Trigger Mode of Free Run, or 4.010 us for Trigger Mode of Triggered.

Defines the width of the synchronization pulse in seconds. The command, used with the UP|DOWN parameters, will change the width by a user–defined step value. Refer to Sync Trigger Width Increment for setting the value associated with the UP and DOWN choices.
The coupling of sync trigger width is dependent upon the source type:
Constraint: Sync Trigger Width ≤ (1/Actual Frequency) – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for the Sync Trigger Width is > (1/Actual Frequency) – Off Time Minimum, Sync Trigger Width will be clipped. Thus, if larger values of Sync Trigger Width are desired, set the Requested Frequency value first.
Constraint: Sync Trigger Width ≤ Pulse Period – minimum Pulse Train Off Time
If the entered value for the Sync Trigger Width is > the current value for the Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum, Sync Trigger Width will be clipped. Thus, if larger values of Sync Trigger Width are desired, set the Pulse Period value first.
Constraint (when Delay is zero or positive): Sync Trigger Width ≤ Pulse Period – Off Time Minimum
If the entered value for the Sync Trigger Width is > the current value for the Pulse Period – minimum Pulse Train Off Time, Sync Trigger Width will be clipped. Thus, if larger values of Sync Trigger Width are desired, set the Pulse Period value first.
