How to Program Multi-Channel G2 Signal Generators
Application Notes
This application note describes how to program devices featuring multiple channels. The basic multi-channel programming command syntax is introduced. An example shows how to configure multiple channels individually.
Devices with only one single channel provide one source and one output programming node. The [:SOURce]:… and :OUTPut:… ranges of command enable remote programming of reference configuration, source setup (frequency, power, modulations etc.), and output state (RF on/off).
Multi-channel devices provide multiple [:SOURce]:… and :OUTPut:… programming nodes, each of it dedicated to one of the channels. However, some sub-nodes are common to all channels. For example, frequency, power, and modulations can be set per channel while the reference part is common to all channels.
