The following are some examples of ASCII character command sequences:

Example 1

B F1 3.141Z N 2.3Z F0

NOTE: You do not need spaces between the characters. They were added here only to make the commands more readable.

This command sequence breaks down as follows:

B- Set 4070A to Sinewave mode

F1 - Move cursor to field 1 (frequency field)

3.141Z - Enter a freq. value of 3.141 MHz

N- Move cursor to next cursor field (field 2, level field)

2.3Z - Enter a level of +2.3 dBm

F0 - Move cursor to field 0 (turn cursor off)

Example 2

M6 F1 0 F2 432X F3 5z f4 10y f0 O -1.23Y T

Note: All commands are case insensitive; you may use either upper case or lower case letters.

This command sequence breaks down as follows

M6 - Set 4070A to Burst mode

F1 - Move cursor to field 1 (Trigger/Continuous field)

0- Set Triggered burst mode

F2 - Move cursor to field 2 (on time/duration field) 432X - Enter a duration value of 432 mS

F3 - Move cursor to field 3 (burst frequency field)

5z - Enter a freq. value of 5 MHz

f4 - Move cursor to field 4 (off time/delay field) 10y - Enter a delay value of 10 seconds

f0 - Move cursor to field 0 (turn cursor off)

O- Go to offset entry

-1.23Y- Enter an offset value of -1.23 volts

T- Trigger the burst

Example 3

A F1 LLLL UUU f0

This command sequence breaks down as follows

A- Reset 4070A to Sinewave mode

F1 - Move cursor to field 1 (frequency field)

LLLL- Move the cursor left 4 times (to the 1,000 Hz digit pos.) UUU - Increment this digit 3 times

f0 - Move cursor to field 0 (turn cursor off)
