Remote control commands
The following commands are required to generate signals with the ARB ethernet
upload option in a remote environment. We assume that the R&S
SMM100A has
already been set up for remote operation in a network as described in the
R&S
SMM100A documentation. A knowledge about the remote control operation and
the SCPI command syntax is assumed.
Conventions used in SCPI command descriptions
For a description of the conventions used in the remote command descriptions, see
section "Remote-Control Commands" in the R&S
SMM100A user manual.
Common suffixes
The following common suffixes are used in the remote commands:
Suffix
Value range
Description
ENTity<ch>
1 to 4
Entity in a multiple entity configuration with separate base-
band sources
ENTity3|4
require option R&S
SMM-K76
SOURce<hw>
1
Available baseband signals
Only
SOURce1
possible, if the keyword
ENTity
is used
Programming examples
This description provides simple programming examples. The purpose of the examples
is to present
all
commands for a given task. In real applications, one would rather
reduce the examples to an appropriate subset of commands.
The programming examples have been tested with a software tool which provides an
environment for the development and execution of remote tests. To keep the example
as simple as possible, only the "clean" SCPI syntax elements are reported. Non-exe-
cutable command lines (e.g. comments) start with two // characters.
At the beginning of the most remote control program, an instrument preset/reset is rec-
ommended to set the instrument to a definite state. The commands
*RST
and
SYSTem:PRESet
are equivalent for this purpose.
*CLS
also resets the status registers
and clears the output buffer.
The following chapters describe the commands specific to the ARB ethernet upload
option.
