Remote Commands

clock_freq?

Clock Frequency. Returns the CLOCK input frequency in Hz that is measured by the

Analyzer.
Min. Abbr.	clock_f
Returns	<NR3>, in format ddd.ddE+6
Example	clock_freq?	(command)
	CLOCK_FREQ 700.00E+6	(response)

res_bits?

Results Bits Query. This command returns the number of bits counted, either in the current interval so far or the previous test interval, depending on the setup of TEST PREV and the current test state.

Min. Abbr.	res_b?
Returns	<NR1>
Example	res_bits	(command)
	RES BITS 4230452921	(response)

res_cur_rate?

Results Current Rate Query. This command returns the BER measured, either in the most recent second of the current test interval or the last second of the previous test interval, depending on the setup of TEST PREV and the current test state.

Min. Abbr.	res_c?
Returns	<NR3>
Example	res_cur_rate?	(command)
