Agilent Technologies N9310A
The Agilent Technologies N9310A device driver is a Signal Generator which is supported by RadiMation®.
Configuration[edit]
The following tabs are available in the advanced configuration of the Agilent Technologies N9310A:
The frequency range of the Agilent Technologies N9310A as provided by the manufacturer is shown and selected as default. It is possible to overrule these frequencies and to manual adjust the allowed frequency range of the Agilent Technologies N9310A.
 Use default start frequency
|
If the checkbox is checked, the default start frequency will be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device. |
| Custom start frequency
|
If the Use default start frequency checkbox is unchecked, another start frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized start frequency will then be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default start frequency. |
| Use default stop frequency
|
If the checkbox is checked, the default stop frequency will be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device. |
| Custom stop frequency
|
If the Use default stop frequency checkbox is unchecked, another stop frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized stop frequency will then be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default stop frequency. |
Specifying a different frequency range can be useful if for example:
- A device (like a coupler, antenna, injection device, cable, etc...) is still useable (but out of specification) outside the standard suggested frequency range.
- An external mixer is used to measure an extended frequency range.
- An up- or down-convertor is used to shift the frequency range.
- A newer model of a device is present that has an extended frequency range, and still uses the same remote control commands.
Be careful changing these setting as RadiMation® is no longer able to verify if the Agilent Technologies N9310A is used outside frequency range that is specified by the manufacturer. This may result to serious damage of your measurement device.

We have received the following information from Agilent regarding this item
I confirm you that under remote control, it is normal that the display of your generator is not updated, please refer to FAQ: http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/faqDetail.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=1110361&nid=-536902260.536908604&id=1110361 Regarding USB control, it is normal that even when closing your VISA session the instrument stands under remote control, as last software layer "USB Test & Measurement Instrument" is still active, but you can take instrument control back by simply using Local key on the front panel of the N9310A.
The text on the web page:
The N9310A screen is not updated when the N9310A is running a program. When doing the same operation in LOCAL mode, the display is updated. Is there something wrong with my N9310A?
Running your N9310A in remote mode brings forward the following two symbols:
- A red LED indicator is lit once the instrument is in remote
- A static bit map is displayed on the instrument’s screen, a refreshed screen is not available unless LOCAL mode is enabled.
