SCPI Command Processor Console
There are two methods in which the PNA-X Command Processor Console can
be used to control the Test Set internal switches to configure the Multiport
system for S-Parameter measurements.
When the Command Processor Console is opened as instructed in the
previous page, examples of the two control methods will be provided.
Method 1 - Using GPIB/SCPI Command Values
This method is available while the system is in Multiport mode only.
The Test Set internal switch settings are programmed into the Test
Set firmware; they are configured by the PNA-X S-parameter values.
Method 1 provides more PNA-X control capability than Method 2.
The following example shows two executable commands needed to
create an S-parameter measurement on your Multiport system.
This first command creates a new S10_10 measurement on channel 1
of the PNA-X, named “ch1_S10_10,” and configures the internal Test
Set RF switches.
CALC1:PAR:EXT 'ch1_S10_10', 'S10_10'
This second command feeds the newly created measurement named
“ch1_S10_10” to trace 2 on the PNA-X so that it will be displayed on
the PNA-X screen.
DISP:WIND1:TRAC2:FEED 'ch1_S10_10'
NOTE: Here are syntax format examples for single digit S-parameters:
‘ch1_S99’
‘ch1_S22’
‘ch1_S9_10’ ‘ch1_S10_9’
