Following are Commands to control and set various operating modes of PMM
7.6 PMM ER8000
ER8000, that can be distinguished in two main groups:
COMMANDs
7.6.1 Query
COMMANDs
?3PR
This query command #?3PR * sends back a string expressing whether the
apparatus is a PMM ER8000 and in which mode. The reply is either:
?AAT
This query command #?AAT * sends back a string expressing the Attenuator status
for Analyzer mode. The reply is made of 2 fields:
Example of reply: AAT =AUTO; 20 which means that the Attenuator is now
switched to 20dB automatically by ER8000
?ACE
This query command #?ACE* sends back a string expressing the Center
frequency, in exponential notation, for analyzer mode. Unit is fixed MHz.
Example of reply: ACE = 1.500000e+07 which means that the Center frequency in
Analyzer mode is 15MHz
?ADT
This query command #?ADT * sends back a string expressing the detector used for
Analyzer mode. The reply cab be:
?AHT
This query command #?AHT* sends back a string expressing the HOLD TIME for
Analyzer mode. Unit is fixed ms.
Example of reply: AHT= 1000 ms which means that the hold time in Analyzer mode
is 1000ms (or 1s)
?AOP
This query command #?AOP* sends back a string expressing the Stop frequency,
in exponential notation, for analyzer mode. Unit is fixed MHz.
Example of reply: AOP = 3.000000e+07 which means that the Stop frequency in
Analyzer mode is 30MHz
?ART
This query command #?ART* sends back a string expressing the Start frequency,
in exponential notation, for analyzer mode. Unit is fixed MHz.
Example of reply: ART = 1.500000e+07 which means that the start frequency in
Analyzer mode is 15MHz
?ASP
This query command #?ASP* sends back a string expressing the Spanfrequency,
in exponential notation, for analyzer mode. Unit is fixed MHz.
Example of reply: ASP = 3.000000e+07 which means that the Span frequency in
Analyzer mode is 30MHz
