SML01 control

The fs-based control of the SML01 over the GPIB bus has been implemented.
The created functions are:

  • smlclear: reset the device.
  • smlstat: report on the current frequency, power level, and rf on/off status.
  • smlfreq: set a frequency (in MHz).
  • smlpow: set a power level (in dBm).
  • smlrf: turn the output on or off.

To clear the device, then set it to 1.0387GHz, -12dBm, with the RF on, this would look like:

smlclear
smlfreq=1038.7
smlpow=-12
smlrf=on
smlstat

With the fs output:

22:45:47;smlclear
22:45:47&smlclear/hpib=sm,*rst
22:45:47&smlclear/hpib=sm,*cls
