GPIB Command Conventions

CALL:AWGNoise[:INTernal]:POWer[:SAMPlitude][:SELected]

Function

The setting form of this command performs two functions: (1) sets the additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) level and (2) turns the AWGN on/off state to on. The query form returns the desired AWGN power level. (See Cell Power and AWGN Power for more information about desired versus current power levels.)

Setting

Range: -165 dBm/3.84 MHz to +35 dBm/3.84 MHz (this is the range of settings accepted, see Cell Power, AWGN Power and Total RF Power Ranges for the actual hardware range of the source).

Resolution: 0.01 dB

Query

Same as setting

*RST Setting

See CALL:AWGNoise[:INTernal]:POWer:AMPLitude[:SELected] and CALL:AWGNoise[:INTernal]:POWer:STATe[:SELected] .

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:AWGNoise:POWer -80" 
! Sets the AWGN power level to -80 dBM/3.84 MHz and turns the state on.

CALL:AWGNoise[:INTernal]:POWer:AMPLitude[:SELected]

Function

Sets/queries the desired additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) level. (See Cell Power and AWGN Power for more information about desired versus current power levels.)

Setting

Range: -165 dBm/3.84 MHz to +35 dBm/3.84 MHz, NAN (this is the range of settings accepted, see Cell Power, AWGN Power and Total RF Power Ranges for the actual hardware range of the source).

Resolution: 0.01 dB

Query

Same as setting

*RST Setting

-75 dBm/3.84 MHz

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:AWGNoise:POWer:AMPLitude -80"
! Set the AWGN level to -80 dBM/3.84 MHz.

CALL:AWGNoise[:INTernal]:POWer:STATe[:SELected]

Function

Sets/queries the additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) state.

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|0

*RST Setting

0 (OFF)

Requirements

Test or Lab Application Revision: A.01 and above

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:AWGNoise:POWer:STATe ON"
!Turns on AWGN.
