Introduction
In this document...
The scope of this document is to define the communication between
the QuickSyn Lite series of frequency synthesizers (Models FSL-0010,
FSL-0020, FSL-2740, FSL-5067, FSL-7682, and FSL-E020) and the
controlling system. This document describes the QuickSyn control and
query commands. The commands listed in this document may be sent
through the SPI and USB.

Goals
The primary goal for command communication is to allow fast, easy
setup for basic operations. In particular, it should permit easy
establishment of a new frequency setting. The commands must support
frequency specifications up to 20 GHz in 0.001 Hz steps.
Secondary goals include: support for very fast change to pre-computed
settings, support for traversal of a list of pre-computed settings with a
specified dwell, and support for computed sweeps of frequency with a
specified dwell.

Hardware Interface
The hardware includes a multi-purpose SPI connector and a USB
connector located on the front panel.

SPI Interface
The SPI hardware interface consists of a standard SPI interface plus
additionally assigned lines as defined in Table 1.

Description
SPI clock, supplied by the controlling computer
(not the synthesizer). The controlling computer is
the SPI master, the synthesizer is the SPI slave.
SPI Slave Select. This signal is an active low
input to the synthesizer. It frames command
communications. For each command, SPI_SS
goes low before the first bit is sent and goes
high after the last bit is sent.
Master in, Slave out. Status and other returned info.

Master out, Slave in. Command data from the
controlling computer to the synthesizer.
Rising edge active input. When enabled, the
trigger signal can initiate frequency change or
step through lists or sweeps.
Output indicating that the synthesizer is locked on
its current setting (+3.3V - locked, 0 V - unlocked).
Output indicating that the synthesizer has
detected an external reference signal and locked
on that signal (+3.3V - locked, 0 V - unlocked).

Communications Specifications

SPI is a standard first introduced by Motorola (now Freescale) for lowcost communications among semiconductor devices. It allows for four
different possible clocking schemes defined by the polarity and phase
of the clock. SPI mode 0 is used to communicate to the QuickSyn
synthesizer. The synthesizer expects the CLK signal to be low at the
time that the SPI_SS signal is asserted. At this time, the first MOSI bit
will be set up. The synthesizer will sample incoming MOSI data at the
rising edge of the CLK and expects that the controlling computer will
also sample MISO at that edge. Subsequent MISO transitions will
occur on the falling edges of the CLK signal.
Transfers are always initiated with the most significant bit of the full
transfer and are ended with the least significant bit. The SPI_SS signal
is expected to remain asserted for the duration of the transfer. After
the last bit is transferred, the SPI_SS signal will go high.

Communications Specifications

USB Interface
The USB hardware interface consists of a standard female mini USB
B-type connector. This port is USB 2.0 compatible and is utilized as a
standard COM port (serial port) on the host PC. The serial data buffer
for this port is 64-bytes long (including the terminator); thus, it is
important not to exceed this length on any command data. All
commands must be terminated by a termination character (13, 0X0D).
The serial port parameters on the host PC must be set as 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, 115200 baud, no flow control.

NOTE

Install software driver first to control the QuickSyn synthesizer via the USB connector.
Device drivers are available from the NI Microwave Components website
(ni-microwavecomponents.com). Instructions for installing the device drivers are in
the QuickSyn user guide, which is also available from the website.

Main Commands
Two command sets are available for controlling the QuickSyn
synthesizer—QuickSyn native commands and SCPI commands. The
SPI interface will only accept the native command set while the USB
interface will accept both the native commands and SCPI commands.
The synthesizer’s operation modes, output frequency, and power are
controlled by the main commands listed in Tables 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 5.
Query commands are listed in Table 3 (SPI), Table 4 (other interfaces),
and Table 5 (SCPI).
Native commands for the USB interface are formatted the same as SPI
commands. However, these commands are formatted as ASCII
representations of hexadecimal values (i.e., each hexadecimal character
is one ASCII character). Thus, twice as many bytes are sent for each
command. Note that only single-byte characters may be used for these
commands because double-byte characters will not be interpreted
correctly by the QuickSyn module. Furthermore, these commands
must be sent separately with each command terminated by a
termination character (13, 0x0D). The query commands differ from
SPI query commands; therefore, refer to the applicable query
command table in this document.

NOTE

The Synthesizer Reset command executes a full instrument re-initialization, which is functionally
equivalent to a power up. All commands in progress will be aborted. The synthesizer will reset to a
default state.

NOTE

If the SPI interface is used, each query command needs to be executed twice.
