CALCulate Subsystem
CALCulate Subsystem
This subsystem is used to perform post-acquisition data processing. In
effect, the collection of new data triggers the CALCulate subsystem. In
this instrument, the primary functions in this subsystem are markers
and limits.
Returns the designated trace data for the currently selected
measurement. The command can be used with sub-opcodes (n) for
measurement results that are trace data. See the following table.
This command is used to compress/decimate a long trace to extract the
desired data and only return to the computer the necessary data. A
typical example would be to acquire N bursts of GSM data and return
the mean power of each burst.
The command can also be used to identify the best curve fit for the data.
Curve Fit - applies curve fitting routines to the data. Where
<soffset> and <length> are required, and <roffset> is an optional
parameter for the desired order of the curve equation. The query will
return the following values: the x-offset (in points) and the curve
coefficients ((order + 1) values).
<Start offset> - is an optional integer. It specifies the amount of data,
at the beginning of the trace, that will be ignored before the
decimation process starts. It is an integer index (that starts counting
at zero) for all the elements in the trace. The default value is zero.
<Length> - is an optional integer that defines how many trace
elements will be compressed into one value. This parameter has a
default value equal to the current trace length.
<Repeat offset> - is an optional real number.It defines the beginning
of the next field of trace elements to be compressed. This is relative
to the beginning of the previous field. This parameter has a default
value equal to the <length> variable. Select a number such that
repeated additions will round to the correct starting index.
Example:To query the mean power of a set of GSM bursts:
1. Set the waveform measurement sweep time to
acquire the required number of bursts.
2. Set the triggers such that acquisition happens at a
known position relative to a burst.
3. Then query the mean burst levels using,
CALC:DATA2:COMP? MEAN,62,1315,1442.3 (These
parameter values correspond to GSM signals.)
Remarks:The optional parameters must be entered in the
specified order. If you want to specify <length>, you
must also specify <soffset> or it’s default. (e.g.
CALC:DATA2:COMP? MEAN,62,1315
This command uses the data setting specified by the
FORMat:DATA command and can return binary or
ascii data.

MEASure subsystem documentation by looking up the
sub-opcode for the appropriate measurement.
Returns a list of peaks for the designated trace data n for the currently
selected measurement. The peaks must meet the requirements of the
peak threshold and excursion values.
The command can be used with sub-opcodes (n) for any measurement
results that are trace data. See the table above. Subopcode n=0, raw
trace data cannot be searched for peaks. Both real and complex traces
can be searched, but complex traces are converted to magnitude in
dBm.
Threshold - is the level below which trace data peaks are ignored
Excursion - To be defined as a peak, the signal must rise above the
threshold by a minimum amplitude change. Excursion is measured
from the lowest point above the threshold (of the rising edge of the
peak), to the highest signal point that begins the falling edge.
Amplitude - lists the peaks in order of descending amplitude, so the
highest peak is listed first. This is the default peak order listing if
the optional parameter is not specified.
Frequency - lists the peaks in order of occurrence, left to right across
the x-axis
Time - lists the peaks in order of occurrence, left to right across the
x-axis
Example:Select the spectrum measurement.
Use CALC:DATA4:PEAK? -40,10,FREQ to identify the
peaks above -40 dBm, with excursions of at least 10 dB,
in order of increasing frequency.
Query Results: Returnsa list of floating-point numbers. The first value
in the list is the number of peak points that follow. A
peak point consists of two values: a peak amplitude
followed by the its corresponding frequency (or time).
If no peaks are found the peak list will consist of only
the number of peaks, (0).
The peak list is limited to 100 peaks. Peaks in excess of
100 are ignored.
Remarks:This command uses the data setting specified by the
FORMat:DATA command and can return real 32-bit,
real 64-bit, or ASCII data. The default data format is
ASCII.

CALCulate:MARKers Subsection
When using the marker commands you must specify the measurement
in the SCPI command. We recommend that you use the marker
commands only on the current measurement. Many marker commands
will return invalid results, when used on a measurement that is not
current. (This is true for commands that do more than simply setting or
querying an instrument parameter.) No error is reported for these
invalid results.
You must make sure that the measurement is completed before trying
to query the marker value. Using the MEASure or READ command,
before the marker command, forces the measurement to complete
before allowing the next command to be executed.
Each measurement has its own instrument state for marker
parameters. Therefore, if you exit the measurement, the marker
settings in each measurement are saved and are then recalled when
you change back to that measurement.

MEASure Group of Commands
MEASure Group of Commands
This group includes commands used to make measurements and return
results. The different commands can be used to provide fine control of
the overall measurement process. Most measurements should be done
in single measurement mode, rather than doing the measurement
continuously.
Each measurement sets the instrument state that is appropriate for
that measurement. Other commands are available for each
allow changing settings, view, limits, etc. Refer to:
This is a fast single-command way to make a measurement using the
factory default instrument settings. These are the settings and units
that conform to the Standard.
• Stops the current measurement and sets up the instrument for the
specified measurement using the factory defaults
• Initiates the data acquisition for the measurement
• Blocks other SCPI communication,waiting until the measurement is
complete before returning results.
• After the data is valid it returns the scalar results, or the trace data,
for the specified measurement.
If the optional [n] value is not included, or is set to 1, the scalar
measurement results will be returned. If the [n] value is set to a
value other than 1, the selected trace data results will be returned.
See each command for details of what types of scalar results or trace
data results are available. The binary data formats should be used
for handling large blocks of data since they are smaller and faster
then the ASCII format.
If you need to change some of the measurement parameters from the
factory default settings you can set up the measurement with the
CONFigure command. Use the commands in the
SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems
to change the settings. Then you can use the READ? command, or the
INITiate and FETCh? commands, to initiate the measurement and
26Chapter1
query the results. See Figure 1-1.
If you need to repeatedly make a given measurement with settings
other than the factory defaults, you can use the commands in the
SENSe:<measurement> and CALCulate:<measurement> subsystems
to set up the measurement. Then use the READ? command or INITiate
and FETCh? commands, to initiate the measurement and query results.
Measurement settings persist if you initiate a different measurement
and then return to a previous one. Use READ:<measurement>? if you
want to use those persistent settings. If you want to go back to the
default settings, use MEASure:<measurement>?.

Returns 7 comma-separated floating point numbers, in the following order:
1. Rho (no units) represents the correlation of the measured power
compared to the ideal pilot channel. The calculation is performed after
the complimentary filter, so it is IS95 compliant. It is performed at the
decision points in the pilot waveform. If averaging is on, this is the
average of the individual rms measurements.
2. Time offset (with units of seconds) is the time delay of the even second
clock with respect to the start of the short code PN sequences, at offsets
from the 15 zeros in the characteristic phase of the sequence.
3. Frequency error of the measured signal, with units of Hz. This is
based on the linear best fit of the uncorrected measured phase.
4. Carrier feedthrough has units of dB and is the dc error offset of I and
Q, from the origin.
5. EVM has units of percent. The calculation is based on the composite of
the phase error and magnitude error,between the measured signal and
the ideal pilot channel. It is performed after the complimentary filter
which removes the inter-symbol interference in the modulated data. If
averaging is on, this is the average of the individual rms
measurements.
6. Magnitude error (with units of percent) is the rms error between the
measured (compensated) magnitude and the ideal magnitude. This is
performed after the complimentary filter which removes the
inter-symbol interference in the modulated data. If averaging is on,
this is the average of the individual rms measurements.
7. Phase error (with units in percent) is the rms phase error between the
measured phase and the ideal phase.The calculation is performed after
the complimentary filter which removes the inter-symbol interference
in the modulated data. If averaging is on, this is the average of the
individual rms measurements.

Select the range for the gain-ranging that is done in front of the ADC.
This is an advanced control that normally does not need to be changed.
Auto peak ranging is the default for this measurement. If you are
measuring a CW signal please see the description below.
• Auto - automatic range
For FFT spectrums - auto ranging should not be not be used. An
exception to this would be if you know that your signal is
“bursty”. Then you might use auto to maximize the time domain
dynamic range as long as you are not very interested in the FFT
data.
• Auto Peak - automatically peak the range
ForCW signals, the default of auto-peak ranging can be used, but
a better FFT measurement of the signal can be made by selecting
one of the manual ranges that are available: M6, P0 - P24.
Auto peaking can cause the ADC range gain to move
monotonically down during the data capture. This movement
should have negligible effect on the FFT spectrum, but selecting a
manual range removes this possibility. Note that if the CW signal
being measured is close to the auto-ranging threshold, the noise
floor may shift as much as 6 dB from sweep to sweep.
• Auto Peak Lock - automatically peak lock the range
For CW signals, auto-peak lock ranging may be used. It will find
the best ADC measurement range for this particular signal and
will not move the range as auto-peak can. Note that if the CW
signal being measured is close to the auto-ranging threshold, the
noise floor may shift as much as 6 dB from sweep to sweep.
For “bursty” signals, auto-peak lock ranging should not be used.
The measurement will fail to operate, since the wrong (locked)
ADC range will be chosen often and overloads will occur in the
ADC.
• M6 - manually selects an ADC range that subtracts 6 dB of fixed
gain across the range. Manual ranging is best for CW signals.
• P0 to 24 - manually selects ADC ranges that add 0 to 24 dB of fixed
gain across the range. Manual ranging is best for CW signals.
