Anritsu 69153A Synthesized CW Generator

The Anritsu 69153A Synthesized CW Generator incorporates a client level alignment function (flatness correction) that provides calibration route variations in a test setup. This is accomplished by means of a power compensation table entered from a GPIB power meter or calculated information. When the client level adjustment table is enacted, the power level is delivered to the point in the test arrangement where the alignment was performed. A maximum of five client level adjustment tables are available and the user can save 2 to 801 recurrence/table points in the 69153A memory.

The power-offset mode works in conjunction with the quick frequency switching mode. The recurrence stack must be loaded before loading the power-balance table, since the recurrence loading sets the upper limit for the quantity of entries in the power-offset table. A similar pointer is utilized for both the recurrence stack and the power-offset table. Once the power-offset table is stacked, the PT1 command turns on the power-offset mode (the PT0 command turns it off). 

When more than nine instrument setups are required or if the user wishes to save the setups in the controller rather than the range generator memory, the 69153A can be summoned to output and accept stored setups over the bus. The SAF summon is also included and outputs the present instrument setup to the controller in a 3000-byte (approximately) binary data string. The controller stores the instrument setup. The RCF command prepares the range generator to get another instrument setup reviewed from the controller.
