Introduction

This programmer manual provides information on how to use commands for remotely controlling the Radar Signals plug-in application.

The Radar Signals plug-in can be installed in the SourceXpress software application, AWG70000 series instruments, and AWG5200 series instruments.

Communication with the plug-in is through the programmatic interface of these products. Using a single VISA or raw socket session, it is possible to communicate with SourceXpress, AWG70000 series instruments, and AWG5200 series instruments.

For information on the Remote Control, GPIB Parameters, LAN Parameters, Connecting to the Instrument using GPIB, and Setting up GPIB Communication, refer to t

Manual or the AWG5200 series Arbitrary Waveform Generators Programmer Manual.

HOPPing[:LIST]:INSert (No Query Form)

This command inserts a single Hop to the Frequency Hop List at the speciﬁed index for the selected pulse deﬁnition.

For example, if the current Frequency Hop List contains 10 indices, inserting a new hop at index 10 creates a new hop at index 10, moving the existing hop to index 11.

The Hopping Pattern must be set to either Custom or Pseudo Random List.

The speciﬁed index must be a valid index.
