CW Measurement Conﬁguration

In single-frequency measurements, the Fast Source Control mode is not used. The RF source (and LO source, if used) can either be controlled by:

•The 8530A (set the sources to Analyzer Language mode), or...

•The system computer (set the sources to SCPI Language mode). Refer to the programming “Example 1” on page 6-21.

The proper setup is shown in Figure 1-2 on page 1-4.Use the 8530A Fast Autoranging Data Mode (GPIB command: FASAD), explained in Chapter 8 of the Agilent 8530A User’s Guide.
