List Mode (Channels Up To 6.7Ghz) - Holzworth Instrumentation HS9000B Series User Manual

8.3.6 List Mode (channels up to 6.7GHz)

Free running list mode is available on all units. NOTE that triggered list mode is only available on
units that are equipped with the external modulation option, as OPT-EXTMOD provides an external
stimulus input port for a trigger signal. Refer to section 8.3 for triggered list mode.
List mode allows for up to 3232 points (command lines) to be stored for each independent channel.
Each command line allows for modification of any or all of the following parameters: Frequency
and/or Amplitude, and Dwell time in between points, if desired.
Wide List and Narrow List modes use identical load commands with limitations in the Narrow List
settings, which are noted further into this section.
Selecting either List button will initiate a popup window with the available channels highlighted.
Select the channel to be programmed for either list mode.
SELECT FILE: Once the channel has been selected, an Open file window will open for the
user to select and load a preconfigured, comma delimited list file.
pressing the Cancel button will then initiate the List Mode Control Panel as shown below.
WIDE LIST COMMAND LINE FORMAT: A,B,C,D,E,F
A = Frequency value (non-restricted number of decimal places)
B = Frequency units (Hz, kHz, MHz, or GHz)
C = Amplitude value (up to 2 decimal places)
D = Amplitude units (dBm)
E = Dwell Time for each point (up to 6 decimal places)
F = Dwell Time units (ms or µs)
NOTE that setting any dwell time (E) inside the loaded list mode file, will cause the
global dwell time setting (at List Mode Control Panel) to be ignored.
NARROW LIST COMMAND LINE FORMAT: A,B,E,F Comma separated (.csv).
A = Frequency value (non-restricted number of decimal places)
B = Frequency units (Hz, kHz, MHz, or GHz)
E = Dwell Time for each point (up to 6 decimal places)
F = Dwell Time units (ms or µs)
NOTE 1: As with the Wide List Mode command line format, setting any dwell time (E)
inside the loaded list mode file, will cause the global dwell time setting (at List Mode
Control Panel) to be ignored.
NOTE 2: Narrow List Mode list does not allow for amplitude control.
NOTE 3: The 5% frequency range limitation for Narrow List Mode is defined as: the
center frequency (f
