Arb Commands
Dual ARB Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:ARB)
For signal generators designated as slaves in the multiple BBG synchronization setup, this command
sets the slave position of the signal generator.
The SREFerence value is a persistent settings that survives both preset and power cycling.
Example
:RAD:ARB:MBS:SREF 13
The preceding example sets the signal generator to slave number 13.

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:MBSync:SSLaves
For the signal generator designated as the master in the multiple BBG synchronization setup, this
command initiates the trigger to synchronize the baseband generators. The trigger signal is output
through the
EVENT 1
connector.
As each slave receives the synchronization signal, it automatically sends a synchronization signal to
the next slave in the chain. Prior to executing this command, all of the slaves must be set to listen
for the trigger. For more information, see
“:MBSync:SLISten” on page 286
. After executing this
command, each signal generator should show a status register weighting of 512 (in sync). To check
the status, see
“:REGister[:STATus]” on page 297
.
NOTE
If any changes are made to the synchronization parameters after executing this command,
the master/slave system must be resynchronized. See the
User’s Guide
for more information
and the process for resynchronizing a system.
Example
:RAD:ARB:MBS:SSL
The preceding example initiates the synchronization trigger signal.
