Details
This command needs to be set if you replace a Model 3706 with a Model 3706A in a system where
computer drivers may be querying the model. This can occur if you replace a Model 3706 with a
Model 3706A in an existing system, or if you duplicate a system but use a Model 3706A instead of a
Model 3706.
When this command is set to localnode.EMULATION_3706, the model number is reported as a
3706 when you send a request with a command such as localnode.model or *idn?. This allows
drivers that query the model number to continue to operate normally.
All other Model 3706A behavior is the same. Emulation mode does not affect the changes to the
IEEE-1588 features or the response times that occurred with the update from the Model 3706 to the
Model 3706A.
This setting is preserved through a power cycle and instrument reset.
Example
localnode.emulation = localnode.EMULATION_3706
Sets the Model 3706A for Model 3706
emulation.

frequency = localnode.linefreq
frequency
An integer representing the instrument's detected line frequency
