Fig. 6-1: Overview of SCPI command systems and their mutual interaction
Fig. 6-1
gives an overview of the SCPI command systems of the R&S NRP. The measured values are
forwarded to the SENSe block where they are processed and handed to the CALCulate blocks. The
values from the SENSe block are not immediately made available to the user, but only after they have
been processed in the CALCulate blocks. In the CALCulate blocks, the values of several sensors can
be processed together before they are output. MEASurement commands may be used to configure
SENSe and CALCulate blocks with a single command. This may considerably simplify operation of the
R&S NRP. The frequency-dependent correction tables for the measured values are managed by the
MEMory command system. The other command systems have the following functions:
DISPlay
: Configures the reading on the R&S NRP display.
FORMat
:
Sets the data format on the remote control interfaces.
OUTPut
:
Switches the test generator on/off and calibrates it.
STATus
:
Configures and queries the
Status Reporting System

).
SYSTem
:
Makes different system settings that affect the operation of the R&S NRP.
UNIT
:
Sets the output unit of the measured values.
