1-9. REMOTE-CONTROL PROGRAMMING
I
The Option -488 IEEE-488 Interface allows the Generator to be remotely controlled with
any IEEE-488 bus controller. The instrument can also be used on the IEEE-488 bus
without a controller in a listen-only or talk-only mode by selecting the appropriate
I
Generator rear panel IEEE-488 sw itch settings.
All instrument controls can be remotely controlled except the POWER ON j OFF and the
I
rear panel REF INTI EXT switches. The Option -488 IEEE-488 Interface provides
additional commands not available with local control, such as data transfer and
individual control of internal 1 / 0 control bits.
I
The Option -488 I EEE-488 Interface allows two Generators to track amplitude,
frequency, or modulation in a master/slave configuration when using the front panel
step-up and step-down entries on one of the instruments. For instance, frequency
I
tracking is convenient fortests involving mixers, and amplitude tracking is useful for two­
tone intermodulation testing.
I
1 - 1 0. The specified frequency range is O.oi to 1050 MHz. The frequency is synthesized from a Frequency
10-MHz reference and provides an output resolution of 10 Hz over the entire frequency
range. The relative frequency mode allows the frequency to be programmed in relation to
I
a center frequency or an offset frequency. This is convenient for testing filters and mixers.
The output frequency stability and accuracy depends on the reference, whether that
reference is internal or external.

Reference

The internal frequency reference is a 10-MHz ambient crystal oscillator. If Option -130

I
oscillator is locked to the internal crystal oscillator. With the rear panel
switch set to !NT, the Generator output frequency is synthesized from the internal
10-MHz crystal oscillator reference, and the internal oscillator (timebase) signal is
I
available at the 10 MHz OUT connector.
The Generator can be operated from an external 10-MHz timebase by setting the rear
panel REF

connector.
With the REF INTJEXT switch set to EXT, the Generator can be operated from an

Amplitude

The Generator has a specified signal level range from + 13 to -127 dBm with programming
I
limits of+ 19 and -14 7.4 dBm. This corresponds to specified terminated voltages of 1 V to
0.1 p.V and limits of 2V to 0.01 p.V, respectively. The maximum usable signal level is
approximately + 15 dBm. The level entry can be in dBm or volts
from one to the other. In addition, the relative amplitude mode allows you to account for
cascaded gain or loss, or to display the level (in dB) relative to
1 - 1 3. Modulation
Both internal and external amplitude modulation and frequency modulation capability is
available. The internal modulation oscillator is selectable between 400 Hz and 1000 Hz.
