SCPI Command Set
Through the sending of a VRT Extension Context Packet carrying the ID value, the use of
an ID in this command is to indicate the beginning of new data packets belonging to a
new stream start. Even though the start ID value is optional, a VRT Extension Context
Packet with the
) value will
always
be sent out after this
command is received and before data packets of the new stream become available.
When no ID value is provided, the default ID value 0 is returned in the Context Packet.
Note:
Once :TRACe:STReam:STARt is issued, the WSA will not accept any setting
changes. Changes can be sent after

SWEep Commands
Note:
Currently, only one single sweep list is supported. Thus, some description on list
in this section might not apply. For example, the string identifier is not needed yet,
neither is list editing as there is only one list. The entries, however, can be configured as
described.
A sweep control setup consists of defining one or more sweep lists and one or more
entries for each list. The sweep execution is controlled by issuing the commands (such
as start, stop or resume) listed under :LIST.
A sweep list can be thought of as being similar to a spreadsheet or table where the
columns define the different specific capture engine configurations (such as :FREQuency
