Analyzer Operation

Held Commands

The analyzer cannot process key commands known as “held” commands. held command because it requires the analyzer to take one sweep of data before executing any other commands.

Once a held command is received, the analyzer will read new commands into the input buffer, but it will not begin the execution of any commands until the completion of the

Occasionally, there is a need to know when certain analyzer operations have been completed. There is an operation-complete function (OPC) that allows a synchronization of programs with the execution of certain key commands. This mechanism is activated by issuing or QPC?; prior to an

HP-IB Operation

The HewletMackard Interface Bus (HP-B) is Hewlett-Packard’s hardware, software, documentation, and support for IEEE 488.2 and

IEC-625

allows you to operate the analyzer and peripherals in two methods:

Device Types

The HP-B employs a party-line bus structure in which up to 15 devices can be connected on one contiguous bus. The interface consists of 16 signal lines and 8 ground lines within a shielded cable. With this cabling system, many different types of devices including instruments, computers, power meters, plotters, printers, and disk drives can be connected in parallel.

Every HP-IB device must be capable of performing one or more of the

following interface functions:

Examples of controllers include desktop computers, minicomputers, workstations, and the network analyzer. In a multiple-controller system, active control can be passed between controllers, but there can only be one system controller connected to the interface. The system controller acts as the master and can regain active control at any time. The analyzer is an active controller when it plots, prints, or stores to an external disk drive in the pass-control mode The analyzer is also a system controller when it is operating in the system controller mode,

HP-IB Bus Structure

Figure l-l. HP-IB Bus Structure

Data Bus

The data bus consists of 8 bi-directional lines that are used to transfer data from one device

to another.

Progmmming

commands and data transmitted on these lines are typically encoded in ASCII, although binary encoding is often used to speed up the transfer of large arrays. Both ASCII- and binary-data formats are available to the analyzer. In addition, every byte transferred over insure

data.

Handshake Lines

rate of the slowest device connected to the interface. With most computing controllers and instruments, the handshake is performed automatically, making it transparent to the programmer.

Control

Lines

The data bus also has five control lines, The controller uses these lines

to address devices and to send bus commands.

IFC (Interface Clear)

This line is used exclusively by the

system controller. When this line is true (low), all devices (whether addressed or not) unaddress and revert to an idle state.

ATN (Attention)

The active controller uses this to

define

whether the information

line

on the data bus is command-oriented or dataoriented. When this line is true (low), the bus is in the command mode, and the data lines carry bus commands. When this

lineisfalse(high),thebusisinthe

data mode, and the data lines carry device-dependent instructions or data.

SRQ (Service Request)

This line is set true (low) when a device requests service and

the active controller services the requesting device, The network

analyxer

can be enabled to pull the SRQ line for a variety of reasons such as requesting control of the interface, for the purposes of printing, plotting, or accessing a disk.

REN (Remote Enable)

This line is used exclusively by the system controller. When this line is set true (low), the bus is in the remote mode, and devices are addressed by the controller to either listen or talk. When the bus is in remote mode and a device is addressed, it receives instructions

from the system controller via

EOI (End or Identify)

(pressing (Local) returns the device to front-panel operation). When this line is set false (high), the bus and all of the connected devices return to local operation.

This line is used by a talker to indicate the last data byte in a multiple-byte transmission, or by an active controller to initiate a parallel-poll sequence. The analyzer recognizes the EOI line as a terminator, and it pulls the EOI line with the last byte of a message output (data, markers, plots, prints, error messages). The analyzer does not respond to parallel poll.

Note

ThlkerListener

This is the mode that is normally used for remote programming of the analyzer. In talker/listener mode, the analyzer and all peripheral devices are controlled from an external instrument controller. The controller

Note

The analyzer occupies two HP-IB addresses: the instrument itself and the display. The display address is derived from the instrument address by complementing the instrument’s least-significant bit. Hence, if the instrument is at an even address, the display occupies the next higher address.

If

the instrument is at an odd address, the display occupies the next lower address.

Note

There is also an address for the system controller, This address refers to the controller when the network analyzer is being used in pass-control mode. This is the address that control is passed back to when the analyzer-controlled operation is complete.

Marker Data

The network analyzer offers several options for outputting trace-related

data. Data can be selectively read from the trace using the markers,

Programming

A marker must IWt be assigned to the desired frequency before it can be used to read the trace data. This is accomplished using the marker commands. The controller sends a marker command followed by a frequency within the trace-data range If the actual desired frequency was not sampled, the markers can be set to continuous mode and the desired marker value wig be linearly interpolated from the two nearest points. This interpolation can be prevented by putting the markers into discrete mode Discrete mode allows the marker to only be positioned on a measured trace-data point.

As an alternative, the analyzer can be programmed to choose the stimulus value by using the MARKER SEARCH function. Maximum,

minimum, target value, or bandwidths search can be automatically

determined with MARKER SEARCH. To continually update the search, switch the marker tracking ON. The trace-maximum search will remain

Trace-Data Transfers

Transferring trace-data from the analyzer using an instrument controller can be divided into three steps:

Data residing in the analyzer is always stored in pairs for each data point (to accommodate

Stimulus-Related Values

Frequency-related

values

are calculated for the analyzer display. The start and stop frequencies or center and span frequencies of the selected frequency range are available to the programmer.

In a linear frequency range, the frequency values can be easily calculated because the trace data points are equally spaced across the

trace. Relating the data from a linear frequency sweep to frequency can

be done by querying the start frequency, the frequency span, and the number of points in the trace,

Given that information, the frequency of point

n

in a linear-frequency

sweep is represented by the equation:

F-Start frequency + (n-l) x

SpanQoints-1)

In most cases, this is an easy solution for determining the related

frequency value that corresponds with a data point. This technique is illustrated in “Example 3B: Data Transfer Using FORM 4 (ASCII

Format),” located

in HP

BRSIC

Programming Rrumples

Guide.

When using log sweep or a list-frequency sweep, the points are not

evenly spaced over the frequency range of the sweep. In these cases,

an effective way of determining the frequencies of the current sweep is to use the OUTPLIMLcommand. Although this command is normally used for limit lines, it can

also

be used to identify all of the frequency points in a sweep. Limit lines do not need to be on in order to read the frequencies directly out of the instrument with the OUTPLIML command. Refer to “Example Information,” located

in HP

Note

Another method of identifying points in a sweep is to use the marker commands

Fast Data Transfer Commands

The HP 8753E has four distinct fast data transfer commands. These commands circumvent the internal “byte handler” routine and output trace dumps as block data. In other words, the entire array without allowing any process swapping to occur

ASCIl

data transfer times are not affected by these routines. However, there are speed improvements with binary data formats. The following is a description of the four fast data transfer commands:

OUTPDATF outputs the error corrected data from the active channel in the current output format. This data may be input to the using the INPUDATA command.

that neither raw nor error-corrected

data reflect such post-processing

functions as electricaldelay offset, trace math, or time-domain gating.

Formatted data

This is the array of data actually being displayed. It reflects all post-processing functions such as electrical delay and time domain. The units of the array output depend on the current display format. See

‘lhble l-4

for the various units

deflned as a function of display

format.

Generally, formatted data is the most useful of the

five

data levels, because it is the same information the operator sees on the display. However, if post-processing is unnecessary (e.g. possibly in cases involving smoothing), error-corrected data may be more desirable. Error-corrected data also affords the user the opportunity to input the data to the network analyzer and apply post-processing at another time.

Using Key Codes

Using key codes allows remote control of the analyzer keys and can be used as an alternative to using other useful, but it is a highly recommended

HP-ES

command mnemonic appropriate for the function desired.

When using key codes, the following notes must be taken into

consideration:

HP-lB

commands. This may be

programming

practice to use the

Note 1: An “invalid key” is reported with a 63. Note 2:

OUTPKEY;

outputs the key code of the last key pressed.

Thiscommandreportsaknobtumasa-1.

Note 3:

KOR?;

outputs the last key code or knob count. If the reply is positive, it is a key code. If it is negative, then set bit 16 equal to bit 14, and the resulting two byte integer is the knob count. It can be either positive or negative. There are about 120 counts per turn.
