How to Use This Manual
As described in “Contents of This Manual” on page 24 chapters 3 to 5 provide task-based
descriptions of SCPI commands that are useful for programming and explain how you can
use them.These chapters contain explanations and sample program listings that you can use
to develop your custom programs. For more information on individual commands, see
Chapter 7, “SCPI Command Reference,”.
Looking up SCPI commands
Chapter 7, “SCPI Command Reference,” contains a complete reference of SCPI
commands. You can look up a particular COM object in any of the following ways:
Lookup by Abbreviated Command Name (see NOTE.)
The command reference is organized alphabetically according to the
abbreviated name used as the title for each command&srq;s
description.
Lookup by Full Command Name (see NOTE.)
You can use the index at the end of the manual to find full command
names along with the page numbers where they appear.
Lookup by Command Function
“List by function” on page 377 provides a command function list and
indicates the page numbers where the commands appear in the
command reference.
Lookup by Front panel key
“Softkey Functions” on page 405 provides a complete list of COM
objects that correspond to the front panel key tree and indicates the
page numbers where the commands appear in the command reference.
NOTE
Some SCPI commands supported by the E5052A have optional syntax elements. In the
command reference conventions, these elements are enclosed between square brackets ([])
or printed in lowercase letters. See “Syntax” on page 92 for more information.
How to Code the Corresponding Commands
The description of each function may contain the corresponding SCPI commands. If SCPI
command exists for each measuring mode, use
xx
. And
y
used to express the maximum
trace number varies for each measuring mode, because the trace number is not the same for
each mode.
Example: CALC:xx[1-1]:TRAC[1-y]:DATA:FDAT
The parameters for each measuring mode are as follows:
•
FP
: Frequency/Power measurement
•
PN
: Phase noise measurement
