HP8643 emulation mode
General
In this language emulation mode, the emulation software in the SM* emulates
the SCPI-compatible language, implemented in Agilent’s signal generators of
type
o
HP8643A
o
HP8644A / B
o
HP8645A
The emulation software is supported on signal generators of type
o
SMA100
o
SMB100
The signal generator HP8643 / HP8644 / HP8645 also supports a HP8642
compatible Pre-SCPI-language. For more information on that language,
please refer to the
HP8642 emulation
.
The emulation software simulates the HP8643 data model in the execution unit
and transfers most of the HP8643 parameters into the SM* database.
Figure 7: HP8643 emulation model
This mapping occurs only in one direction: Setting commands that arrive via
the remote-control interface modify the HP8643 parameters. These
parameters are converted into SM* parameters and written to the database.
Modifiying the SM* parameters in any other manner, e.g., via manual operation
at the frontpanel, causes no changes to the HP8643 parameters of the
emulation software.
