MXG HELP
Agilent MXG Vector Signal Generator

Frequency range = 250kHz to 6GHz
Power Range = -110dBm to +17dBm
Notes
Where possible each "Set" Function has an equivielent "Get" function to enable the test code to read
the equipment state if required
The more complex functions are made entirely of the lower level functions. No high level function
contains text based machine specific commands.
This allows each high level function to be easily copied and conveted to a different machine driver.
