VNA Programming Examples
This chapter contains detailed programming examples on various tasks.
The syntax and use of all SCPI commands is described in
on page 505, where you will also find additional examples. For a general intro-
duction to remote control of the analyzer refer to
Chapter 5.4.6, "Remote Control"
on page 87. For an overview of special remote control features of the VNA mode refer

Basic Tasks
This section presents detailed examples for programming tasks that almost every user
will encounter when working with the R&S
ZNL/ZNLE.
10.6.1.1
Typical Stages of a Remote Control Program
A typical remote control program comprises the following stages:
1. Performing the basic instrument settings
2. Adjusting the test setup
3. Initiating the measurement, command synchronization
4. Retrieving measurement results
Very often, steps 3 and 4 (or steps 2 to 4) must be repeated several times.
All example programs in this section have been developed and tested by means of the
GPIB Explorer provided with the network analyzer. No extra programming environment
is needed.
Basic Instrument Settings
Programming task:
Adjust the basic network analyzer settings to your measurement
tasks, optimizing the instrument for fast measurements.
