Option 266 Description
Option 266 Description
Option 266 (PSA Series Programming Code Compatibility Suite) for
Agilent Technologies’ PSA series of spectrum analyzers allows the
analyzer to be controlled using many of the remote programming
commands from the following analyzers:
• 8560 E/EC Series Portable Spectrum Analyzers, comprising:
— 8560E
— 8560EC
— 8561E
— 8561EC
— 8562E
— 8562EC
— 8563E
— 8563EC
— 8564E
— 8564EC
— 8565E
— 8565EC
• 8566A/B
• 8568A/B
• 8590 E/L Series Portable Spectrum Analyzers, comprising:
— 8590L
— 8591E
— 8592L
— 8593E
— 8594E
— 8594L
— 8595E
— 8596E
NOTE The 8566A/B and the 8568A/B are not considered part of the 8560
series of analyzers.
Option 266 is designed to replace these analyzers in many automated
systems with minimal or no modification to the currently used
measurement software.
Option 266 Limitations
The Agilent Option 266 (PSA Series Programming Code Compatibility
Suite) has been designed to emulate as closely as possible the operation
of the specified spectrum analyzers. It is not, however, intended as an
absolute direct replacement for these analyzers.
26 Chapter 1
Getting Started
Option 266 Description
Supported commands
Only a subset of the 8566/8568/8560 Series/8590 Series commands is
supported in this option (through a GPIB interface). These supported
commands were determined by feedback from our customers combined
with technical considerations and constraints.
Predefined Functions
In the 8566/8568/8560 Series/8590 Series analyzers, a “predefined
function” is an analyzer command that returns a number that can be
operated on by other analyzer commands. “Predefined variables” follow
the same idea, except the value to be passed as a parameter to the next
command is stored in a variable.
Option 266 does not support this type of behavior, so any commands
that originally acted as predefined functions or variables, or that
allowed predefined functions or variables as arguments in the
8566/8568/8560 Series/8590 Series analyzers, will no longer do so.
User-defined Functions
Getting Started
No user-defined functions, traces, or variables (FUNCDEF, TRDEF or
VARDEF) can be used as arguments or commands in programs
controlling any analyzer running Option 266. In addition, the behavior
of certain commands that rely on the “active functions” (UP, DN, etc.)
may be slightly different.

Installing Option 266
Installing Option 266
You must load the desired personality option into the instrument
memory. Loading can be done from a firmware CD-ROM or from the
internet location. An automatic loading program comes with the files
and runs from your PC.
Installing Optional Measurement Personalities
When you install a measurement personality, you need to follow a three
step process:
1. Determine whether your memory capacity is sufficient to contain all
the options you want to load. If not, decide which options you want to
install now, and consider upgrading your memory. Details follow in
“Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality
Options?” on page 1-30.
2. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument
memory. Details follow in “Loading an Optional Measurement
Personality” on page 34.
3. Enter a license key that activates the measurement personality.
Details follow in “Obtaining and Installing a License Key” on
page 34.
Adding measurement personalities requires the purchase of an upgrade
kit for the desired option. The upgrade kit contains the measurement
personality firmware and an entitlement certificate that is used to
generate a license key from the internet website. A separate license key
is required for each option on a specific instrument serial number and
host ID.
For the latest information on Agilent Spectrum Analyzer options and
upgrade kits, visit the following web location:
http://www.agilent.com/find/sa_upgrades
Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality
Options?
If you do not have memory limitations then you can skip ahead to the
next section “Loading an Optional Measurement Personality” on
page 1-34. If after installing your options you get error messages
relating to memory issues, you can return to this section to learn more
about how to optimize your configuration.
If you have 64 MBytes of memory installed in your instrument, you
should have enough memory to install at least four optional
personalities, with plenty of memory for data and states.
The optional measurement personalities require different amounts of
memory. So the number of personalities that you can load varies. This is
30 Chapter 1
Getting Started
Installing Option 266
also impacted by how much data you need to save. If you are having
memory errors you must swap the applications in or out of memory as
needed. If you only have 48 MBytes of memory, you can upgrade your
hardware to 64 MBytes.
Additional memory can be added to any PSA Series analyzer by
installing Option 115. With this option installed, you can install all
currently available measurement personalities in your analyzer and
still have memory space to store more state and trace files than would
otherwise be possible.
To see the size of your installed memory for PSA Series Spectrum
Analyzers:
1. Ensure that the spectrum analyzer is in spectrum analyzer mode
because this can affect the screen size.
2. Press
System, More, Show Hdwr.
3. Read Flash Memory size in the table. If Option 115 is installed, the
table will also show Compact Flash Type and Compact Flash

If you have 48 MBytes of memory, and you want to install more than 3
optional personalities, you may need to manage your memory
resources. The following section, “How to Predict Your Memory
Requirements” on page 1-31, will help you decide how to configure your
installed options to provide optimal operation.
Getting Started
How to Predict Your Memory Requirements
If you plan to install many optional personalities, you should review
your memory requirements, so you can determine whether you have
enough memory (unless you have a PSA Series with Option 115). There
is an Agilent “Memory Calculator” available online that can help you do
this, or you can make a calculated approximation using the information
that follows. You will need to know your instrument’s installed memory
size as determined in the previous section and then select your desired
applications.
Chapter 1 31
Getting Started
Getting Started
Installing Option 266
NOTE If you have a PSA Series analyzer with Option 115, there is adequate memory
to install all of the available optional personalities in your instrument.
To calculate the available memory on your PSA, see:
http://sa.tm.agilent.com/PSA/memory/
Select the “Memory Calculator” link. You can try any combination of
available personalities to see if your desired configuration is compatible
with your installed memory.
NOTE After loading all your optional measurement personalities, you should
have a reserve of ~2 MBytes memory to facilitate mode switching. Less
available memory will increase mode switching time. For example, if
you employ excessive free memory by saving files of states and/or data,
your mode switching time can increase to more than a minute.
You can manually estimate your total memory requirements by adding
up the memory allocations described in the following steps. Compare
the desired total with the available memory that you identified in the
previous section.
1. Program memory - Select option requirements from the table
“Measurement Personality Options and Memory Required” on
page 1-33.
2. Shared libraries require 7.72 MBytes.
3. Recommended mode swap space is 2 MBytes.
4. Screens - .gif files need 20-25 kBytes each.
5. State memory - State file sizes range from 21 kB for SA mode to
40 kB for W-CDMA. The state of every mode accessed since power-on
will be saved in the state file. File sizes can exceed 150 kB each when
several modes are accessed, for each state file saved.
TIP State memory retains settings for all states accessed before the Save State
command. To reduce this usage to a minimum, reduce the modes accessed
before the Save State is executed. You can set the PSA to boot into a selected
mode by accessing the desired mode, then pressing the System, Power
On/Preset, Power On keys and toggle the setting to Last.

Loading an Optional Measurement Personality
You must use a PC to load the desired personality option into the
instrument memory. Loading can be done from a firmware CD-ROM or
by downloading the update program from the internet. An automatic
loading program comes with the files and runs from your PC.
Getting Started
You can check the Agilent internet website for the latest PSA firmware
versions available for downloading:
http://www.agilent.com/find/psa_firmware
NOTE When you add a new option, or update an existing option, you will get the
updated versions of all your current options as they are all reloaded
simultaneously. This process may also require you to update the instrument
core firmware so that it is compatible with the new option.
Depending on your installed hardware memory, you may not be able to
fit all of the available measurement personalities in instrument
memory at the same time. You may need to delete an existing option file
from memory and load the one you want. Use the automatic update
program that is provided with the files. Refer to the table showing
“Measurement Personality Options and Memory Required” on
page 1-33. The approximate memory requirements for the options are
listed in this table. These numbers are worst case examples. Some
options share components and libraries, therefore the total memory
usage of multiple options may not be exactly equal to the combined
total.
Obtaining and Installing a License Key
If you purchase an optional personality that requires installation, you
will receive an “Entitlement Certificate” which may be redeemed for a
license key specific to one instrument. Follow the instructions that
accompany the certificate to obtain your license key.
To install a license key for the selected personality option, use the
following procedure:

Command Err This key determines whether or not command errors are displayed on
the screen. When set to
On, error messages generated by unrecognized
commands or command arguments are displayed on the screen. When
set to
Off, error messages generated by unrecognized commands are not
displayed. The current setting is underlined on the key label, and this
setting is toggled each time the key is pressed.

Cmd Error Log This key sets command error logging On or Off. When set to On, all error
messages are stored in a log file, regardless of whether they have been
displayed on the screen. When set to
Off, no further command error
messages are written to the log file.
The log file is an ASCII text file called LOGFILE.TXT on the C: drive. It
has a maximum size of 32 KB. Once it has reached its maximum size,
no further error messages will be recorded, but a message will be
displayed prompting you to clear the log file. Switching
Off does not clear the log file. Only the Clear Command Error Log softkey
Cmd Error Log to
will clear the error log.

Clear Command
Error Log
This key allows you to clear all messages from the command error log
file LOGFILE.TXT. You will be asked to press the key a second time to
confirm your decision to clear the log file.
Limit RBW/VBW This key toggles the
Limit RBW/VBW between On and Off. Setting it to
On causes the range of values for resolution and video bandwidths to be
limited, dependent on the remote language selected.
NOTE This restriction on RBW and VBW range changes to use the base PSA
range of bandwidths if the detector type is set to Quasi Peak, MIL Peak,
EMI Average, or Average.
Setting this key to Off causes the resolution bandwidth and video
bandwidth filters to use the base PSA range of values for all remote
languages.
Atten Offset This key toggles a supplemental attenuation On and Off. The default
state is Off. Setting it to On sets a fixed 12 dB supplemental
attenuation in the hardware to prevent too great a signal at the input to
the mixer (0 dBm maximum) for
reference level settings of up to +12 dBm. The selected condition is
preserved when
Preset is pressed or power is cycled.
Save Reg 7 This key enables or disables the saving of the Preset State in Register 7
(RC 7). Setting this to On causes the Preset State to be saved in
Register 7, but it can slow your analyzer down. Setting this to Off will
make your analyzer run faster, but the Preset State is not saved in
Register 7.

When a Remote Language other than SCPI has been selected, you will
only have access to a very small subset of SCPI commands. If you are
not familiar with the SCPI remote programming language, Chapter 5 ,
“A Brief Introduction to the SCPI Language,”on page 373 contains some
useful information.
The SCPI commands available while using other remote languages are:
*IDN?
•
Queries and returns the instrument identification string.
•
*RST
Performs an instrument preset.

Service and Calibration
Since the Performance Verification and Adjustment Software uses the
SCPI command language, you will need to set Remote Language to
SCPI prior to calibration or service of your Agilent spectrum analyzer.
When your analyzer is returned from an Agilent Technologies service
center, you may have to reinstall Option 266. Refer to “Installing
Option 266” on page 30.

Spectrum Analyzers with Option 266
When you purchase your PSA Series spectrum analyzer with the
Programming Code Compatibility Suite (Option 266), you will receive
this manual - the Programming Code Compatibility Suite Guide. For
information on PSA series analyzers and other related documentation,
refer to the PSA web site at http://www.agilent.com/find/psa/.
This Programming Code Compatibility Suite Guide is not designed to
be a comprehensive guide to all legacy commands. It gives brief
descriptions of the supported commands, and highlights important
functional or behavioral differences that you should be aware of when
transferring your existing code to your PSA Series analyzer. For a fuller
description of these commands, refer to the manuals supplied with your
original analyzer.

A Few Helpful Hints and Tips
A Few Helpful Hints and Tips
These pages lists a few hints and tips that will help you get the most
from your analyzer and Option 266.
Compatibility - speed and consistency - for best compatibility with
•
your legacy analyzer, Option 266 should be used on the analyzer
whose frequency range most closely matches the frequency range of
your legacy analyzer. For example, the best match for the 8565E
with its 50 GHz upper frequency limit is the PSA E4448A analyzer
which also has an upper frequency limit of 50 GHz.
Compatibility and Sweep Times - for best compatibility between PSA
•
Series analyzers and the legacy analyzers, use the Manual Swept
mode for 8566A/B, 8568A/B, or 8590 Series analyzers. Manual Swept
mode is the default setting on PSA Series analyzers with Option 266
installed.
When analyzing stationary signals, you can change to the Best
Speed setting, which is accessed from the Auto Couple hardkey and
the FFT & Sweep menu. This results in faster sweep times on a PSA
analyzer than on the legacy analyzers because of the PSA’s better
performance. In the majority of applications, this faster speed would
be desirable, but that is not always the case.
When you are using the Best Speed setting, you cannot change the
sweep time manually as the sweep time is always coupled to give the
fastest sweep times based on the current settings.
•
Time-out (1) - Agilent suggests that you increase the timeout when
performing MA and MF commands to allow previous marker
functions to complete correctly.
•
Time-out (2) - Agilent recommends increasing the timeout on a serial
poll (
SPOLL) due to differences in Sweep Times on some settings.
Note, however, that this may not be necessary when using the Best
Speed setting on the FFT & Sweep menu (accessed from the Auto
Couple hardkey).
•
Synchronization (1) - to synchronize after an IP command, Agilent
recommends that you use the DONE command. We also suggest that
the DONE command is used in conjunction with a timeout of about 5
seconds in case the analyzer starts to auto align. Alternatively, you
could set auto alignment to Off. To set auto alignment to Off, press
System, Alignments, Auto Align on the front panel.
•
Synchronization (2) - Agilent recommends that synchronization (using
the DONE command) is used with marker functions when signal
tracking is turned on.
Hints and Tips
82 Chapter 3
Hints and Tips
A Few Helpful Hints and Tips
• AC and DC Coupling - The 8568A/B has two RF input ports:
— DC Coupled (with a BNC connector) to handle a frequency range
of 100 Hz to 1.5 GHz
— AC Coupled (with an N Type connector) to handle a frequency
range of 100 kHz to 1.5 GHz
The 8560 Series and the 8590 Series of legacy analyzers only have
one RF input port, and support AC and DC coupling through the
COUPLE command (page 149).
The PSA series analyzers only have a single RF input port.
When using PSA models E4440A, E4443A, and E4445A with the
UKB option, you must use DC coupling to see calibrated frequencies
of less than 10 MHz. Signals of less than 10 MHz are not calibrated
when using AC coupling on these analyzers.
NOTE PSA models E4446A, E4447A, and E4448A do not allow AC coupling.
Overloading - if you are overloading the analyzer, connect a 10 dB
•
attenuator to the RF input and set the
Ext Amp Gain (external
amplifier gain) to -10 dB. This softkey is accessed via the Amplitude
hardkey and the
Instrument Presets - consecutive instrument presets (using the IP

command, that is, issuing a command such as IP;IP;IP;) are not
required.
SCPI Language - Agilent recommends that you do not repeatedly
•
swap to and from the SCPI language within your programs.
• GPIB, LAN, and USB Connectivity - Option 266 only works via
the GPIB bus on the PSA. While using Option 266, you can send
SCPI commands using the LAN or USB to the instruments. This
may be helpful to set certain SCPI parameters on the instrument
without the need to turn off the code compatibility application.

Command syntax is represented pictorially.
• Ovals enclose command mnemonics. The command mnemonic must
be entered exactly as shown.
• Circles and ovals surround secondary keywords or special numbers
and characters. The characters in circles and ovals are considered
reserved words and must be entered exactly as shown.
• Rectangles contain the description of a syntax element defined in
Table 4-1, “Syntax Elements.”
• A loop above a syntax element indicates that the syntax element can
be repeated.
• Solid lines represent the recommended path.
• Dotted lines indicate an optional path for bypassing secondary
keywords or using alternate units.
• Arrows and curved intersections indicate command path direction.
• Semicolons are the recommended command terminators. Using
semicolons makes programs easier to read, prevents command
misinterpretation, and is recommended by IEEE Standard 728.
NOTE Uppercase is recommended for entering all commands unless otherwise
noted.
Syntax Elements are shown in the syntax diagrams as elements within
rectangles. In the syntax diagrams, characters and secondary keywords
are shown within circles or ovals. Characters and secondary keywords
must be entered exactly as shown.

All supported commands are listed here, along with their descriptions
and cross-references to similar commands.
This chapter is not designed to be a comprehensive guide to all
8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8560 Series, or 8590 Series commands. It gives brief
descriptions of the supported commands, and highlights important
functional or behavioral differences that you should be aware of when
transferring existing 8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8560 Series or 8590 Series
code to your PSA Series analyzer. For a fuller description of the
commands, refer to the 8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8560 Series or 8590 Series
Operating and Programming Manual.
In the descriptions of the commands, TRA corresponds to Trace 1, TRB
corresponds to Trace 2, and TRC corresponds to Trace 3.
To avoid confusion between numbers and letters, all commands that
incorporate numbers have had the number spelled out and placed in
square brackets after the command. For example, the command ‘I1’ is
shown as ‘I1 [one]’ - that is, the capital letter ‘I’ followed by the number
‘1’, and then the word ‘one’ italicized in square brackets. The italicized
word in brackets does not form part of the command.
