set_OutputPowerLevel(value)

Sets the Signal Generator Output Power in dBm

Parameters:

value (float) – Output Power in dBm

set_freq_CW(value, unit)

Parameters:

• value (int/float) – Parameter Frequency

• unit (str) – Frequency Unit: ‘GHz’ or ‘MHz’

Return type:

None.

set_frequency_mode(MODE)

Parameters:

MODE (str) –

<Mode> CW | FIXed | SWEep | LIST | COMBined

CW|FIXed

Sets the fixed frequency mode. CW and FIXed are synonyms. The instrument operates at a defined frequency.

SWEep

Sets sweep mode. The instrument processes frequency (and level) settings in defined sweep steps.

LIST

Sets list mode. The instrument processes frequency and level settings by means of values loaded from a list.

COMBined

Sets the combined RF frequency / level sweep mode. The instrument processes frequency and level settings in defined sweep steps.

set_output(value)

Activates the Signal Genrator RF Output

Parameters:

value (str/int) – ‘ON’ 1 or ‘OFF’ 0

Raises:

ValueError – Valid values are: ‘ON’, ‘OFF’, 1, 0

set_rf_output(value)

Activates the Signal Genrator RF Output

Parameters:

value (str/int) – ‘ON’ 1 or ‘OFF’ 0

Raises:

ValueError – Valid values are: ‘ON’, ‘OFF’, 1, 0

set_rf_output_all(value)

Activates all Signal Genrator RF Outputs

Parameters:

value (str/int) – ‘ON’ 1 or ‘OFF’ 0

Raises:

ValueError – Valid values are: ‘ON’, ‘OFF’, 1, 0

set_rf_power(value)

Sets the Signal Generator Output Power in dBm

Parameters:

value (float) – Output Power in dBm
