Programming the 8003
The remainder of this chapter explains how to program the 8003 Analyzer and supported sweeper over
the GPIB bus. The instructions assume that you are familiar with the front panel operation of the
instrument and that you have properly configured the system.
The 8003 GPIB command set allows direct control of most front panel functions, including all of the
functions found under the DEFINE, MEAS, DISPLAY, CURSOR, SCALE, CAL, MEMORY, START,
POWER, SWEEP TIME, and PRESET softkeys (with the exception of the display setup functions found
under the
DISPLAY
key). Some of the lesser used functions under the SERVICE softkey menu of the
CONFIG
key are not controlled via direct GPIB commands, but can be accessed through the keyboard
emulation mode.
The GPIB command set allows extended capabilities of the analyzer beyond those accessible through
the front panel. These include reading of swept measurement data, upload and download of trace
memories, path cal and Cal Factor memories, three modes of high speed CW power measurements, and
a Pass Through mode for direct communication with devices on the 8003 private bus.
The 8003 Analyzer uses a simple programming structure consisting of commands (called verbs) followed
by command modifiers. Because the 8003 is driven by softkeys, these commands do not necessarily
follow the same sequence as front panel key strokes. However, you will find that they do give a very
logical access to the instrument’s functions.
A simple sequence of commands is usually sufficient to set up the instrument and obtain data over the
bus. The basic sequence of commands is:
1.
Send a GPIB
device clear
to PRESET the analyzer to a known, fixed state.
2.
Set up the analyzer measurement mode (SWEPT or CW) and configure its channels (single sensor,
ratios, or differences).
3.
Set up the sweeper parameters (frequencies, power levels).
4.
Set up the analyzer’s display mode and scaling (this step is optional).
5.
If needed, Calibrate and Zero the sensors.
6.
Take a reading of data.
This sequence of commands is illustrated in the programming example on the next four pages. The first
two examples for CW and swept measurements are written in TBASIC for IBM-PC users. The second
two examples are the identical programs written in HP-Basic for HP series 200 and 300 users.
