Detailed Description

A class to control the Agilent signal generator.

Member Function Documentation

connectToServer()

void Generator::connectToServer

(

)

Establish tcp/ip connection with the actual hardware.

Make a connection to AGILENT on port AGILENTPORT define in file network.h

dBm()

double Generator::dBm ( ) const

inline

Get current level setting.

Returns

double signal level in dBm.

isOn()

bool Generator::isOn ( ) const

inline

Check if signal generator is powered on.

Returns

bool

isValid()

bool Generator::isValid

(

)

Check if connection is valid.

Checks that output is on, source is external and status is valid.

Returns

bool

MHz()

double Generator::MHz ( ) const

inline

Get current frequency setting.

Returns

double signal frequency in MHz.

powerOn

void Generator::powerOn ( bool  flag )

slot

Enable/disable signal generation.

Parameters

flag	true for enable, false for disable

setSignal

void Generator::setSignal ( double  mhz, double  dbm  )

slot

Set frequency and level of the signal to be generated.

The nominal frequency is 30 MHz and signal level is 1.5 dBm. This method let's the user choose different values for test purposes. Once these values have been changed, a call of powerOn(bool flag) with flag=true is required.

Parameters

mhz	frequnecy of generated signal in MHz
dbm	level of generated signal in dBm.
