U3042AM20
Controlling the Test Set with the Analyzer

Channel: (4)

Specifies the channel number for dialog settings. Each channel is
configured individually. The drop-down list illustrates the channels that
currently have measurements. There must be at least one displayed trace for
the test set I/O Interface to function.

Channel Control Label: (5)

Specifies the label to be displayed on the analyzer’s screen during the
channel sweep.

Before Sweep Start – After Sweep End Tabs: (6)

Commands (GPIB, I/O’s and Dwell) can be sent Before Sweep Start and After
Sweep End. However, they are configured and enabled separately on the
“Interface Control” dialog box. For example; to send a command before and
after a PNA sweep, the “Enable Interface Control” check box must be
selected and commands entered in both the Before Sweep Start and After
Sweep End tabs. The Before Sweep Start data is sent before the first trace on
the channel begins sweeping. The After Sweep Start data is sent after the
last trace on the channel sweep is completed.

Dwell After Command: (7)

Specifies a wait time, in milliseconds, after all commands to all interfaces are
sent. Any positive integer is allowed. This is used to allow all external
devices to settle before beginning a measurement. An erratic trace could
indicate that more settling time is necessary.

Handler I/O Control and Aux I/O Output Voltage: (8)

Provides I/O interface control through the rear panel of the PNA. Refer to the
PNA Help menu for further information.

Reset All:

Sets all fields on all channels to their default values.

Save and Recall:

Saves and recalls the contents of the dialog box. If the “Interface Control”
dialog box is populated with settings during an Instrument State Save, the
settings are automatically recalled with the instrument state settings.
Interface control uses an *.xml file type. An example file is stored on the PNA
hard drive. You can recall it into the dialog, or you can open and edit it with a
word processor, such as Word Pad.

OK:

Applies the settings and closes the dialog box.

Cancel:

Does not apply changes that were made and closes the dialog box.

Help:

Provides additional information for using the interface control application.
