# [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 <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.

Returns:

mode: INTernal | EXTernal | COUPled | ECOupled | BOFF | AOFF See Table ‘Cross-reference between Mode and the manual operation’

set_mode(mode: LoModeW) → None[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:FREQuency:LOSCillator:MODE
driver.source.frequency.loscillator.set_mode(mode = enums.LoModeW.AOFF)

Parameters:

mode – INTernal | EXTernal | COUPled | ECOupled | BOFF | AOFF See Table ‘Cross-reference between Mode and the manual operation’
