Returning the Signal Generator to GPIB Listener Mode

During the user flatness correction process, the power meter is slaved to the signal generator via
GPIB, and no other controllers are allowed on the GPIB interface. The signal generator operates in
GPIB talker mode, as a device controller for the power meter. In this operating mode, it cannot
receive SCPI commands via GPIB.

If the signal generator is to be interfaced to a remote controller after performing the user flatness
correction, its GPIB controller mode must be changed from GPIB talker to GPIB listener.

If an RF carrier has been previously configured, you must save the present instrument state before
returning the signal generator to GPIB listener mode.

1.

Save your instrument state to the instrument state register.

For instructions, see

“Saving an Instrument State” on page 63

.

2.

Press

Amplitude > More (1 of 2) > User Flatness > GPIB Listener Mode

.

This presets the signal generator and returns it to GPIB listener mode. The signal generator can
now receive remote commands executed by a remote controller connected to the GPIB interface.

3.

Recall your instrument state from the instrument state register.

“Saving an Instrument State” on page 63
