Source IF allows the power meter to communicate with an Anritsu
68/69000-series synthesizer when the operation mode is set to
Source Sweep.
BAUD
[RSBAUD]
Sets the serial port BAUD rate. Select from 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600
(default), 19200, or 38400. The other RS232 serial parameters are
fixed at 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
MODEM
This menu controls how a modem will react when the power meter
attempts to connect to a remote computer. It allows entry of a
PHONE number, redial COUNT and redial DELAY, and permits IN
-
ITialisation of a connected modem.
PHONE number [MODPH] – The phone number can be up to 40
digits. When the number is being dialed, a dot (.) will be inter
-
preted as a 2-second delay in the dialing sequence; a minus sign
(–) will be interpreted as wait for another dialing tone.
Redial COUNT [MODRED] – If the dialed number does not con-
nect, because it was not answered or was engaged, then the power
meter will try to redial the same number according to the count
specified. This has a minimum value of 0, maximum value of 10
and default value of 5.
Redial DELAY [MODDEL] – If the dialed number does not connect,
and is to be redialed, this value specifies the delay in minutes be-
fore redialing. This has a minimum value of 1 minute, maximum
value of 10 minutes and a default value of 5 minutes.
INITialize Modem [MODINIT] – This is a single shot command to
reinitialize a connected modem. As at power on, if this command is
executed with a PC connected directly to the power meter, then a
string of modem commands will be seen by the PC.
AUTO
Sets up the power meter to autodial if there is a LIMITS test failure,
sensor RANGE error, or the instrument POWER is cycled.
LIMITS [MODLIM] – If this is set, and the limits fail, then the num
-
ber specified in the “phone number” field will be dialed. Remote
communications can then continue as normal.
RANGE [MODRNG] – If this is set, and there is a signal channel
range error, then the number specified in the “phone number” field
will be dialed. Remote communications can then continue as
normal.
