These commands perform functions that control the test set's RF analyzer (measuring receiver). In addition, you can select automatic frequency control modes. These modes allow you to specify a band and ARFCN and the test set automatically sets the RF analyzer to the appropriate frequencies in the uplink band.

Queries the uplink channel when RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] is On.
Note, when RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] is changed from OFF to ON, the channel value may change. This is because when RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] is ON the TRANsceiver:CHANnel:UPLink:SEParation:FDD[?] command is based on TRANsceiver:CHANnel:DOWNlink:FDD[?].

*RST Setting: 9750
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.05 and above
Example:
' Query the uplink channel.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:AUTO:CHANnel?")
Sets/queries the expected burst parameter. This command is used during dynamic power measurements when the EGPRS 8PSK estimated carrier power filter is selected. The command is used for measurement synchronization of EGPRS signals when the estimated carrier power filter is used. (If the burst type is not set, the test set may not synchronize to the input signal's midamble.)
The optional [:SELected] keyword specifies that the setting or query applies to the currently selected application.

TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:CHANnel:UPLink:DPCHannel:TYPE RMC384")
Sets/queries whether the test set's RF analyzer is set to automatic (ON) or manual (OFF) frequency control. When set to Auto the TRANsceiver:CHANnel:UPLink:SEParation:FDD[?] command is used along with the TRANsceiver:CHANnel:DOWNlink:FDD[?] command to specify the RF Analyzer frequency. When set to manual (OFF), you can specify the receiver frequency or channel manually.
When RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] is changed from OFF to ON, the TRANsceiver:CHANnel:UPLink:SEParation:FDD[?] value is based on
TRANsceiver:CHANnel:DOWNlink:FDD[?] if RFGenerator:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] is set to ON
RFGenerator:FREQuency:WCALibration[?] if RFGenerator:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] is set to OFF
