Chapter 1, Description of Keys

Keys

Increment ÷10, Increment set, Increment x10

These keys are used to change the increment/decrement value when changing field values.

The increment divide-by-10 function reduces the increment setting by a factor of 10. (New increment setting = current setting ÷ 10).

The increment setting function sets the increment value for real-number numeric entry fields.

The increment multiply-by-10 function increases the increment setting by a factor of 10. (New increment setting = current setting × 10).

Programming Increment set

The GPIB command :INCRement is used to select this data function programmatically.

To Set the Increment Value. Use the :INCRement command to set the increment value.

Syntax

:INCRement

Example

OUTPUT 714;"RFG:FREQ:INCR 2.5 MHZ"

This sets the increment value for the RF Gen Freq field to 2.5 MHz.

NOTE:When setting the value of a numeric field (such as RF Gen Freq), any non–GPIB unit’s unit-of-measure must be specified in the command string, otherwise the current GPIB unit is assumed by the Test Set. Integer-only fields (such as Intensity and Print Adrs) have a fixed increment of 1, and they cannot be changed.

To Query the Increment Value. Use the :INCRement? command to query the increment value.

Syntax

:INCRement?

Example

OUTPUT 714;"RFG:FREQ:INCR?"

ENTER 714;Incr_value

This queries the increment value for the RF Gen Freq field.
