Member Function Documentation

get_limits()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.get_limits

(

self

)

Right now, this is for Anritsu MG3696B only.

get_power()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.get_power

(

self

)

Gets the microwave output power for the currently active mode.

Returns

float: the output power in dBm

reset_listpos()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.reset_listpos

(

self

)

Reset of MW list mode position to start (first frequency step)

Returns

int: error code (0:OK, -1:error)

reset_sweeppos()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.reset_sweeppos

(

self

)

Reset of MW sweep mode position to start (start frequency)

Returns

int: error code (0:OK, -1:error)

set_cw()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.set_cw	(		self,
			frequency = None,
			power = None
	)

Configures the device for cw-mode and optionally sets frequency and/or power.

Parameters

float	frequency: frequency to set in Hz
float	power: power to set in dBm

Returns

float, float, str: current frequency in Hz, current power in dBm, current mode

set_ext_trigger()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.set_ext_trigger	(		self,
			pol,
			timing
	)

Set the external trigger for this device with proper polarization.

Parameters

TriggerEdge	pol: polarisation of the trigger (basically rising edge or falling edge)
float	timing: estimated time between triggers

Returns

object, float: current trigger polarity [TriggerEdge.RISING, TriggerEdge.FALLING], trigger timing

set_list()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.set_list	(		self,
			frequency = None,
			power = None
	)

Configures the device for list-mode and optionally sets frequencies and/or power.

Parameters

list	frequency: list of frequencies in Hz
float	power: MW power of the frequency list in dBm

Returns

list, float, str: current frequencies in Hz, current power in dBm, current mode

sweep_on()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.sweep_on

(

self

)

Switches on the sweep mode.

Returns

int: error code (0:OK, -1:error)

trigger()

def mw_source_anritsu70GHz.MicrowaveAnritsu70GHz.trigger

(

self

)

Trigger the next element in the list or sweep mode programmatically.

Returns

int: error code (0:OK, -1:error)

Ensure that the Frequency was set AFTER the function returns, or give the function at least a save waiting time.
