Microwave Signal Generator SMP 7
Remote control to SCPI standard
The IEEE-bus remote control commands
are in line with the SCPI guidelines. One
of the advantages is that the user can
exchange measuring instruments in an
automatic system without having to mod-
ify the control software.
Intelligent operating concept
Easy-to-follow menus
Neither multifunction keys nor obscure
special functions burden the user. All
functions are clearly arranged in menus.
Menus and functions as well as parame-
ter settings can be conveniently selected
with a spinwheel.
FIG 9: SAVE and RCL for storing and recalling
settings
The FM modulation menu shows the clear-cut representation of selectable parameters and current
instrument status. Each setting can be made quickly and easily by means of the spinwheel and a few
keys.
Menu memories
Frequently used menu settings can be
stored in two memories and recalled at a
keystroke.
Easy-to-read screen display
All settings associated with a certain
function can be seen at a glance on the
large-size, high-contrast LC display.
HELP function
Explanatory remarks can be called up for
each individual menu. This does away
with wasting time in looking up functions
in a manual.

Automatic measurement
functions for production and test
labs
The memory sequence is an extremely
useful function. It provides convenient
execution of standard test routines or fre-
quently required sequences of different
types of single measurements.
Up to 50 complete instrument setups can
be stored. After programming the
sequence of measurements to be exe-
cuted, the user can activate the autorun
control facility.
This function also allows synchronous
operation with other units through trig-
gering. Step times can be separately pro-
grammed for each step.
