"live mode > on" displays all commands and responses, and "logging > on" also
traces messages.
If you now control the R&S
SMM100A with SCPI commands, using an appropriate
tool, the LXI function records the information sent and received.
The function records all sent commands, received responses and messages, and
saves them in an internal database. If "live mode" is disabled, you can display the
recent traces upon request, using the "refresh" button. You can also save the log in
a file.
Note:
The diagnostics functionality is extended in later releases, e.g. to download
or upload SCPI command files from / to the instrument.
