Agilent 81250 Parallel Bit Error Ratio Tester, Programming Reference, March 2006
Segments are stored in a segment pool, which is part of the system
database. There is one segment pool with global scope and one
segment pool with local scope.
• Segments in the local segment pools can only be accessed if the
appropriate setting is loaded.
• Segments in the global segment pool can be accessed from any
setting.
N O T E
We recommend to set up the required data segments in the Segment
Editor of the user interface and have these segments available in the
system’s database. In your program, you can open the segments.
Another possibility is to create the data segments using the Segment
Import Language (see
“Segment Import and Export Language” on
page 321
) and import the segments (see
“:<Handle>:MMEMory:
SEGMent:LOAD” on page 92
). This can ease your programming tasks
and limits your time investment in coding.
:<Handle>:EDIT:SEGMent:OPEN?
Syntax
:<Handle>:EDIT:SEGMent:OPEN? <“SegmentName”>
Parameters
<“SegmentName”>
The name of a segment that is stored in the
Agilent 81250 System’s database.
Description
Opens the specified segment.
For input and output ports:
If the segment name is prefixed with
‘GlobalSegments/’, the global pool is searched; if the segment name is
prefixed with ‘LocalSegments/’, the current setting is searched. If only
a segment name is supplied, first the current setting is searched. If no
segment of the specified name is found, the global segment pool is
searched.
For output ports:
If the segment name is prefixed with ‘Analyzer/’,
the instrument memory is searched for all ‘Capture.p’ and ‘ErrMem.p’
segments of all analyzer ports (p is the port number). In Compare and
Acquire around Error mode ‘Capture.p’ and ‘ErrMem.p’, segments are
available for each port. In Capture Data mode, only ‘Capture.p’
segments are available. In Error Rate Measurement, there are no
segments.
