Guidelines for Using Numeric Entry Field Data Functions

•Increment values are set, scaled, and changed for individual numeric entry fields. The GPIB data function commands must immediately follow the GPIB command for the individual field. For example, to set the increment value for the RF Generator frequency to 2.5 MHZ, the following command string would be sent to the Test Set:

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

•GPIB Units (UNITs) are used with the data functions to specify the units-of-measure for numeric data which is read or set through GPIB.

Refer to “To Specify Units-of-Measure for GPIB Data Transfer” in the Operating Overview chapter of the E8285A User’s Guide .

•Data function settings are not retained. The setting values are initialized or changed under the following conditions:

•The Test Set is turned off (values initialized on power up).

•The Test Set is preset (values initialized).

•A saved register is recalled (values changed to those in the recalled register).
