# SCPI: [SOURce<HW>]:FREQuency:LOSCillator:MODE
value: enums.LoModeW = driver.source.frequency.loscillator.get_mode()
Selects the mode of the local oscillator coupling. Cross-reference between <Mode> and the manual operation

Table Header: <Mode> / Parameter in manual operation / Description

  • INTernal / A&B Internal / Internal (one path instrument) / Uses the internal oscillator signal in both paths.

  • EXTernal / A External & B Internal (one path instrument) / Uses an external signal in path A. B uses its internal signal.

  • COUPled / A Internal & A->B Coupled / Assigns the internal oscillator signal of path A also to path B.

  • ECOupled / A External & A->B Coupled / Assigns an externally supplied signal to both paths.

  • BOFF / A Internal & B RF Off / Uses the internal local oscillator signal of path A, if the selected frequency exceeds the maximum frequency of path B.

  • EBOFf / A External & B RF Off / Uses the LO IN signal for path A, if the selected RF frequency exceeds the maximum frequency of path B.

  • AOFF / A RF Off & B External / Uses the LO IN signal for path B, if the selected RF frequency exceeds the maximum frequency of path A.
