5344S
Operation and Programming
STEP SIZE
ss
The 5344A enters and displays the STEP SIZE frequency.
The value for SS may be a simple number such as 10, 25.98,1010.25, etc. The value may also be a
simple number plus an exponent, such as 10.79 E+9, 10 E-1, 26.5 E-2, etc. The exponent plus the
multiplier must fall within the 5344S range, such as 75.92 E-1 GZ = 7.592 GHz.
The SS frequency range is 500 MHz to 18 GHz for the 5342A and 500 MHz to 26.5 GHz for the 5343A.
If the 5344S is placed in Subharmonic Locking mode, the limit extends from 10 MHz to 99.999999999
GHz for both counters,
Only the first 11 digits are significant. All others are ignored. Only the first decimal point is accepted
as valid.
Sending the SS command without a numerical value causes the 5344A to display the current Step
Size. The Step Size remains unchanged.
Entries outside of the limits default to the closest limit.
SWEEP TIME
ST
The 5344S enters and displays the Sweep Time.
The value for ST may be a simple number such as 10,25.9, .101, etc. The value may also be a simple
number plus an exponent, such as 9.79 E+1,10 E-1,26.5 E-2, etc. A exponent plus a multiplier must
fall within the 5344S range, such as 990 E-1 ms = 99 ms.
For any entry, the ultimate value for Sweep Time will contain only one digit afterthedecimal point.
Consecutive digits are not rounded, but instead are dropped.
The Sweep Time range is 10 ms to 100 s.
Entries outside of the limits default to the closest limit.
