5.2.3.15 Instrument Emulations
It is also possible to remotely control the R&S SMB via the command set of another
signal generator, as for example of an HP generator. With this function you can, for
example, replace a signal generator with an R&S
SMB in an automated test setup,
without adjusting the command scripts used.
You find all the remote control command sets supported by the R&S SMB in a selec-
tion list. For more information on this topic, an application note describes in detail how
to use this feature. See the product site of the R&S
SMB.
The selected instrument also defines the identification string that is retrieved with query
*IDN?
. In addition to the preset values, you can enter a user-defined identification
string, for example to provide individual identification for each generator, like
'MY_R&S
SMB' (see Mode and IDN String ).
As any other parameter, you can additionally change the remote control command set
to be emulated via the
Language command. However, once you have switched to an
emulation, the R&S SMB specific command set is disabled, that means this command
is no longer effective. To return, you need to know the corresponding remote control
command of the simulated instrument. If you emulate an HP generator for example,
the HP command
EX
returns to the SCPI command set.
