OUTPut Subsystem
The OUTPut subsystem controls the output features of the instrument.
In conjunction with the tracking generator option, a distinction is made between OUTPut1 (screen A)
and OUTPut2 (screen B).

Tracking generator option
OUTPut<1|2>[:STATe] ON | OFF
This command switches the tracking generator on or off.
Notes: - With the tracking generator switched on, the maximum stop frequency is limited to 3
GHz. This upper limit is automatically modified by the set frequency offset of the
generator.
- If measurements in compliance with specs are to be performed with the tracking
generator, the start frequency has to be
≥ 3 x resolution bandwidth.
- The minimum sweep time for measurements in compliance with the data sheet is
100 ms in the frequency domain (span >0). If a shorter sweep time is selected, the
sweep time indicator SWT on the screen is marked with a red asterisk and the
message UNCAL is also displayed.
- With the tracking generator switched on, the FFT filters (BAND:MODE:FFT) are not
available.
Example: "OUTP ON" 'Switches on the tracking generator in screen A.
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conforming
Modes:A
This command is only valid in conjunction with option tracking generator.
OUTPut:UPORt[:VALue] #B00000000 to #B11111111
This command sets the control lines of the user ports. In manual operation, the control lines are
represented by softkeys PORT 0 to 7.
The user port is written to with the given binary pattern. If the user port is programmed to INPut
instead of OUTPut, the output value is temporarily stored.
Example: "OUTP:UPOR #B10100101"
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: device-specific
Modes: all
OUTPut:UPORt:STATe ON | OFF
This command switches the control line of the user ports between INPut and OUTPut.
The user port is switched to OUTPut with parameter ON, to INPut with OFF.
Example: "OUTP:UPOR:STAT ON"
Characteristics: *RST value: OFF
SCPI: device-specific
Modes: all
