Hello Vee users

I am using a ESG-D3000A Digital Signal Generator with remote language HP8648 turned on.

I am trying to turn the Modulation ON and Off like the hard panel key.
I use command seq.--      "OUTP:MOD:STAT OFF;" or "OUTP:MOD:STAT ON;"
This are not working for me. I get error -102 on the SIG Gen.

To make sure something else is working I tried the RF On Off commands
"OUTP:STAT OFF;" and "OUTP:STAT ON;"   these work fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks for the help

Hi Scott,

The older 8648 was not capable of a simple MOD ON/OFF command.
You turn the mod TYPE on and off, like FM, or AM. Since you
have the ESG in 8648 compatibility mode it gives you a syntax
error, because that was not an 8648 supported command.

I also use the ESG in place of the 8648 and found that I didn't
have to use the compatibility mode. All my 8648 SCPI commands
worked perfectly on the ESG. OK, I was only doing basic things
like setting freq, power, and toggling the RF on and off, but
you might try it and see how far your program gets.

BTW, your syntax is fine for that command in native mode.
