6.10.2 Restrictions in MG3633A command interchange mode
This paragraph describes the restrictions in MG3633A command interchange mode.
(1) Common items
• Exponent representation of numeric data is unavailable.
• The semicolon (;) is the only valid separator when multiple commands are sent on one line. Do not use the
comma (,).
• No header is added to talker data for a query command. Only numeric data is output.
(2) Frequency
• Frequency up and down (TFR and EFR) using the rotary knob are enabled by substituting the step key func-
tion. Using the step key and rotary knob to increase or decrease the frequency may not perform correctly
unless a frequency step value (FIS) or frequency resolution (R0 to R9) is set.
• Resetting the frequency (ZFR) cannot be interchanged because the MG3641A/MG3642A does not have an
equivalent function.
• The frequency offset display function can be interchanged only with the multistatement description
(FOS;SP12) of the offset frequency setting command (FOS)
and offset display mode ON command (SP12) separated by a semicolon (;).
(3) Output level
• Output level up and down (TOL and EOL) using the rotary knob are enabled by substituting the step key func-
tion. Using the step key and rotary knob to increase or decrease the level may not perform correctly unless the
level step value (OIS) or level resolution digits (L0 to L2) are set.
• The level resetting function (ZOL) cannot be interchanged because the MG3641A/MG3642A does not have
an equivalent function.
• The level offset display function can be interchanged only with the multistatement description
(OOS) and
offset display mode ON command (SP08) separated by a semicolon (;).
• If the output level setting (OL) or level step up or down (UOL, DOL) command is
executed in level continuous mode, the continuous mode is canceled.
• The command relating to the output level limiter (OLM, SP05, SP06) cannot be
interchanged because the MG3641A/3642A does not have an equivalent function.
