OUTPut2
The OUTPut2 subsystem controls the characteristics of the Agilent E1446A’s “Main
Output” BNC. The subsystem sets the output attenuation, sets the output source
impedance, monitors overload conditions, and enables or disables the output.
Subsystem Syntax OUTPut2
:ATTenuation <attenuation>
:IMPedance <impedance>
:OVERload? [query only]
[:STATe] <mode>
:ACTual? [query only]
:ATTenuation
OUTPut2:ATTenuation <attenuation> controls the output attenuator of the “Main
Output” BNC. Either no attenuation or 20 dB may be selected when
OUTPut2:IMPedance is set to either 50Ω or 75Ω. OUTPut2:ATTenuation must be
set to 0 dB when OUTPut2:IMPedance is set to 0Ω.
