Programming the Agilent Technologies 8960 Series 10 for GSM Mobile Testing in Active Cell Operating Mode
Introduction
Introduction
Conventions Used in This Programming Guide
Throughout this Programming Guide the term “test set” refers to an Agilent Technologies 8960 Series 10
wireless communications test set with the E1960A GSM mobile test application installed.
Purpose of This Programming Guide
The test set represents state-of-the-art technology in one-box-testers and contains many powerful test
capabilities which are accessible through easy-to-use GPIB programming commands. The purpose of this
Programming Guide is to teach you how to write a basic control program, using the test set’s GPIB command
set. This program will perform fundamental manufacturing tests on a GSM mobile station with the test set
operating in active cell mode.
How This Programming Guide Is Organized
The Programming Guide is organized around a typical set of tasks a control program would normally perform
when testing a GSM mobile station in a manufacturing environment. The set of tasks is shown in
Typical Flow of Tasks Performed by Control Program” on page 155
.
Typically in a manufacturing environment, steps 1, 2, and 3 are done once each time a production run is
started, steps 4 and 8 are done once for each mobile station tested during the production run, and steps 5, 6,
and 7 are done iteratively for each mobile station tested during the production run. The number of iterations
for steps 5, 6, and 7 is dependent upon how many mobile station operating conditions are being tested (that is,
number of channels, number of power levels, and so fourth).
