can help to optimize a remote control program (see also programming example in
Chapter 11.6.1.1, "Typical stages of a remote control program"
●
Switch off the measurement while configuring your instrument.
●
Use a minimum number of suitably positioned sweep points.
●
Start a single sweep, observing proper command synchronization, and retrieve
your results.
The following command sequence performs a single sweep in a single channel.
Example:
*RST; :INITiate:CONTinuous:ALL OFF
Activate single sweep mode for all channels (including the channels created later).
INITiate1:IMMediate; *WAI
Start a single sweep in channel no. 1, wait until the sweep is terminated before pro-
ceeding to the next command.
Sweeps in several channels
It is also possible to subdivide the channels within a channel setup into active and inac-
tive channels. The analyzer will then measure in the subset of active channels only;
see program example for
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:MEASure[:STATe]
.
11.4.2.4
Addressing traces and channels
The analyzer provides a variety of schemes for addressing traces and channels and for
querying trace and channel names. The following tables give an overview.
Table 11-2: Addressing channels
Method
Commands / Example
Channel number <Ch> as a numeric suffix
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>[:STATe] ON
Query all channel names
CONFigure:CHANnel:CATalog?
(returns the
names of all channels)
Assign or query channel name of a channel num-
bered <Ch>
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME 'ABCD'
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME?
(returns
'
ABCD
')
Query channel number assigned to a channel
named 'ABCD'
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME:ID? 'ABCD'
(returns the actual channel number, the channel suf-
fix is ignored)
Table 11-3: Addressing traces
Method
Commands / Example
Channel number <Chn> used as a reference for the
active trace in the channel
CALCulate<Chn>:MARKer<Mk>[:STATe] ON
Trace name (string variable) used as a reference for
the trace
CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter:DELete '<Trace
Name>'
Trace number <Trc> as a numeric suffix (exception!)
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:NAME?
