Anritsu ML2430A operation manual Syntax LN, Syntax OD

HP 437B EMULATION COMMANDS GPIB OPERATION

LN Set linear units

Syntax: LN

Remarks: Changes the display to linear units (Watts).

OC Set calibrator state

Syntax: OC<state>

state: 0 (OFF) 1 (ON)

Remarks: For example: OC0 (reference calibrator state set to OFF).

OD Output the display

Syntax: OD

Remarks: Outputs a formatted display channel reading in either dBs or Watts. Will also output the cal factor tables, as described below.

The only way to read out the cal factor table data from the HP 437 is to send the commands to display each entry on the screen, and then ask for a text display output using the 'OD' command.

The ML2430A Series supports the 'OD' command to the extent that it will output a formatted display channel reading in either dBs or Watts, and will also output the cal factor tables. After sending the 'ETn' command (n = the cal factor table number) if an 'OD' is sent, the first frequency/cal factor entry of the cal factor table is output in the HP format. If this is then followed by an 'EN' the next cal factor entry pair is available for output, and can be read using the 'OD' command. When all the pairs are output, all further 'ENOD' combinations output a frequency of '00.00 MHz 100.0%'. The EX command terminates this action so that further 'OD' commands now output the display reading in a formatted mode.

If RFnOD (n = cal factor table number) is sent, the 50 MHz cal factor table entry is output.

OF Offset state

Syntax: OF<state>
