From the front panel, the marker delay is located under the ARB > MARKER UTILITIES menu, as shown below:

For remote programming, the commands were added in firmware revision 1.1.1.2.8 (released 11.14.21), but were not shown in the SSG5000X Programming Guide (Versions PG0805x_E01B and earlier, as of 09.14.2022).

To Set:

“:IQ:DUALarb:MARKer:DELAy <n>”, where <n> is the time delay and units. For example, to set the delay to 100 us, send “:IQ:DUALarb:MARKer:DELAy 100us”

To Query:

“:IQ:DUALarb:MARKer:DELAy?”

An RF Pulse is typically a sine wave with fixed time durations. The yellow trace below is the actual RF output while the pink trace is indicating the on time of the signal being used to gate the output. :

The SIGLENT RF signal sources feature standard pulse capabilities and advanced pulse train options (SSG3000X-PT, SSG5000X-PT) to provide proper pulse control for your application.

In this tip, we use an SSG5060X-V to deliver various pulse widths and durations.. as well as highlighting some of the advanced pulse train options:

Basic pulse control:

Pulses can be created using the SSG Pulse Modulation setting:

To output a single pulse just set the pulse mode to Single:

NOTE: Pulse Source can be set to various values. Here, we use the internal (INT) setting which will use the SSG settings to control the pulse. An External (Ext) setting requires an additional external source to either gate or trigger the output.

Oscilloscope capture of 100 MHz RF output with a pulse width: 28 ms and a repetition rate of 18 Hz (0.0555 s total waveform period)

Here is an example of a more complex pulse train. Here, the pulse train contains 50 periods, and the pulse train repeats every second. Basically 50-period bursts of RF per second. In this example, we use an external signal to trigger the burst of pulses.

100 MHz RF Pulse width: 3usec @ Repetition Rate of 300Hz à Can this also be done in packets, i.e. 50 pulses every 1 second

NOTE: For this setup, the SSG requires the SSG Pulse Train option (SSG3000X-PT or SSG5000X-PT part numbers) which enables pulse trains with greater than 2 pulse durations. The setup uses an external function generator (SDG series) to trigger the SSG output. Here, the external trigger source is set to pulse 0  -5 V @ 1-second intervals to trigger SSG output.

Here is the setup screen:

Pulse Train gives you this setup for pulse definition:

And the Ext Trigger (0-5V at the rear panel of the SSG) will trigger the pulse train:

There are also more options like advanced trigger that provide more flexibility with pulse trains:

The Advanced Pulse Train feature lets you set the On, Off, Count, Frequency, and level of each pulse for even more flexible pulse source options:

Many instruments support communication via sockets (port 5025) and telnet (port 5024) but the port numbers cannot be changed.

If you use VISA, you can implement LAN via TCP/IP, which does not need a port number.

Here is a listing of current SIGLENT instruments with Socket and Telnet Support.

Here, the SDG6X has approximately 83 MB and the SDG1X has 85 MB of memory:

Examples of NRTLs include UL, CSA, and TUV.

Many SIGLENT products are TUV certified, which also covers UL and CSA requirements.
