DIAGnostic:SERVice...    Related Topics

This subsystem provides access to service and diagnostic routines used in service, maintenance and repair. In accordance with the SCPI standard all commands are device-specific.

Service functions are password-protected (SYSTem:PASSword[:CENable]) and should be used by a R&S service representative only. Refer to the service manual for more information.

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

DIAG:ALC:SETT ON

Enable automatic level control.

DIAG:ALC:AUBW OFF; BW 10000

Disable automatic bandwidth setting and select a 10 kHz loop bandwidth.  

DIAG:ALC:CLAM ON; RANGE 4

Suspend the ALC during the measurement and select a 4 dB control range.  

DIAG:ALC:STOL WIDE

Select a wide settling tolerance window.

DIAG:ALC:PIP MAN; :DIAG:ALC:PIP:GAIN 0.35; ITIM 6E-7

Enable manual entry of PI controller parameters and define the proportional gain and the integration time.

DIAG:ALC:SOFF 1

Define a 1 dB ALC start offset.

...
DIAG:ALC:POFFset ON

Change last setting; cause the analyzer to use the ALC offset of the previous measurement.

 

 


DIAGnostic:ALC:BW <bandwidth>

Selects the bandwidth in the ALC control loop. The setting takes effect when automatic bandwidth setting is disabled.

<bandwidth>

Bandwidth setting

Range [def. unit]

20 Hz to 7.12 MHz [Hz]. For a list of possible value refer to ALC All Channels.

*RST value

1 kHz

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

See DIAGnostic:ALC:SETTings:AUBW  

 

 


DIAGnostic:ALC:CLAMp <Boolean>

Suspends the ALC mechanism while the analyzer acquires measurement data (Clamp ALC during Measurement).

<Boolean>

ON | OFF - Clamp ALC... on or off.

*RST value

OFF

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter AUTO | MANual

Enables automatic or manual setting of the PI controller parameters.

Parameters

AUTO – Automatic setting, depending on the bandwidth (DIAGnostic:ALC:BW)
MANual – Manual setting using DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter:GAIN and DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter:ITIMe.  

*RST value

NORMal

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

See DIAGnostic:ALC:SETTings:AUBW  

 

 


DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter:GAIN <prop_gain>

Defines the proportional gain of the PI controller. This setting takes effect when manual setting of the controller parameters is enabled (DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter MANual).  

<prop_gain>

Proportional gain setting  

Range [def. unit]

0.001 to 100 [1]. UP and DOWN increment the proportional gain in 0.001 steps.

*RST value

0.4

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

See DIAGnostic:ALC:SETTings:AUBW  

 

 


DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter:ITIMe <int_time>

Defines the integration time of the PI controller. This setting takes effect when manual setting of the controller parameters is enabled (DIAGnostic:ALC:PIParameter MANual).  

<prop_gain>

Integration time setting  

Range [def. unit]

10 ns to 100 s [s]. UP and DOWN increment the integration time in 10 ns steps.

*RST value

500 ns

DIAGnostic:ALC:POFFset <Boolean>

Causes the analyzer to use the ALC of the previous measurement as an ALC start offset value (Use ALC Offset of Prev. Measurement).

<Boolean>

ON | OFF -Use ALC Offset... on or off.

*RST value

OFF

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query.

 

Example:

Defines the maximum change of the source signal level due to the ALC (Control Range).

<cont_range>

Control range setting

Range [def. unit]

0 dB to 100 dB [dB]. The control range setting must be compatible with the specified source power of the analyzer. 0 dB effectively disables the ALC. UP and DOWN increment the control range in 0.1 dB steps.  

*RST value

5 dB
