Installing Optional Measurement Personalities

When you install a measurement personality, you follow a two step process.

1. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument memory. See “Loading an Optional Measurement Personality” on

page 42.

2. Enter a license key number that activates the measurement personality. See “Installing a License Key” on page 43.

Adding additional measurement personalities requires purchasing a retrofit kit for the desired option. The retrofit kit contains the measurement personality firmware and a license key certificate. It documents the license key number that is for your specific option and instrument serial number.

Preparing for Use

Writing Your First Program

When the instrument has been connected to a computer, the computer can be used to send instrument instructions to make fast, repeatable measurements. A variety of different programming languages, computer types, and interface buses can be used for this process. The following section describes some basic steps for making a measurement program.

NOTE Remember that in any type programming using LAN you should avoid

constantly opening and closing connections. This uses up processing resources, adds to your system overhead, and can cause problems with asynchronous implementation of successive commands. When you are sending the instrument multiple commands: open the connection, send all the commands, and close the connection.

Three Basic Steps in a Measurement

Step Tasks (SCPI Command Subsystem)

1. Set system parameters

2. Select mode & setup mode

3. Select measurement & setup measurement

• Printer setup (HCOPy)

• I/O & addressing (SYSTem)

• Display configuration (DISPlay)

• Data formatting (FORMat)

• Status and errors (*IEEE and STATus)

• Mode selection (INSTrument:SELect)

• Standard selection (SENSe:RADio)

• RF channel (SENSe:CHANnel)

• Frequency (SENSe:FREQuency)

• Triggering (TRIGger)

• Input (INPut)

• Measurement selection (MEASure)

• Meas control/restart (INITiate)

• Markers (CALCulate:<meas>:MARKer)

• Averaging (SENSe:<meas>:AVERage)

• Bandwidth (SENSe:<meas>:BWIDth)

• FFT & meas window (SENSe:<meas>:FFT)

Programming a Measurement

General recommendations for writing a measurement program:

• Include comment lines in your program to describe what is happening at each point. The way you include comment lines is dependent on the controller and the programming language that you are using.

46 Chapter 1

Preparing for Use

Writing Your First Program

• Use variables for function values. List the variables at the beginning of the program.

• Perform the measurement manually, keeping track of the key functions used. Identify the programming commands equivalent to these front panel keys.

• Select the instrument mode with INST:SELect. Set the mode setup for things like your desired communications standard, channel frequency and triggering.

• In the program, execute an instrument preset (*RST) and select single-sweep mode (INITiate:CONTinuous OFF) before setting other instrument functions.

• Use the MEASure group of commands, described in Chapter 5 , “Language Reference,”. MEASure commands make the

measurement using the standard procedure and limits. You can alter some of the measurement defaults by using commands in the SENSe:<meas> subsystem. Once altered, use the CONFigure, FETCh, READ, and INITiate commands to perform the measurements.

• The instrument can return different types of results for a particular measurement. These results are described in the language reference section on the MEASure group of commands.

• Execute the desired commands in logical order. Multiple SCPI commands can be included on one line. See “SCPI Language Basics”

on page 59.

File Naming Rules

File names for storing instrument states or other data files in the analyzer should follow pc conventions.

• They can be up to eight characters long. In addition, they can have a file extension up to three characters long. The analyzer can assign the extension.

• They are not case sensitive. It does not matter whether you use upper case or lower case letters when you enter them.

• They can only contain the letters A through Z and the numbers 0through 9.

• They cannot contain any special characters (except the period that separates the name from the extension).

• They cannot be identical to the name of another file in the same directory.

Connecting to a LAN Server

Connect a cable to the standard LAN connector on the rear panel of the instrument. The LAN can then be used several different ways:

• To ftp files from the instrument

• To use telnet to send SCPI commands

• To use sockets to send SCPI commands

• To use as a SICL server emulating IEEE 488.2 GPIB

Several LAN parameters can be queried from the front panel key menus by pressing keys. Configuration of some LAN parameters can only be done from the front panel. The IP address can be set/queried remotely using SYST:COMM:LAN:IP. The LAN default configuration settings do not usually have to be changed for you to use the functionality. More detailed LAN use and troubleshooting information can be found in Chapter 2 , “Programming Fundamentals.”

This section is not intended to teach you everything about the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) programming language. The SCPI Consortium or IEEE can provide that level of detailed information.

Topics covered in this chapter include:

• “Creating Valid Commands” on page 60.

• “Command Keywords and Syntax” on page 59.

• “Special Characters in Commands” on page 61.

• “Parameters in Commands” on page 62.

IEEE Standard 488.2-1987, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats,

Protocols and Comment Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1998.

Command Keywords and Syntax

A typical command is made up of keywords set off by colons. The keywords are followed by parameters that can be followed by optional units.

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1.5 MHZ

The instrument does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters. In the documentation, upper case letters indicate the short form of the keyword. The lower case letters, indicate the long form of the keyword. Either form may be used in the command.

Example: Sens:Freq:Star 1.5 mhz

is the same as SENSE:FREQ:start 1.5 MHz

NOTE The command SENS:FREQU:STAR is not valid because FREQU is neither

the short, nor the long form of the command. Only the short and long forms of the keywords are allowed in valid commands.

Chapter 2 59

Programming Fundamentals

SCPI Language Basics

Creating Valid Commands

Commands are not case sensitive and there are often many different ways of writing a particular command. These are examples of valid commands for a given command syntax:

Command Syntax Sample Valid Commands

[SENSe:]BANDwidth[:RESolution] <freq> The following sample commands are all

identical. They will all cause the same result.

• Sense:Band:Res 1700

• BANDWIDTH:RESOLUTION 1.7e3

• sens:band 1.7KHZ

• SENS:band 1.7E3Hz

• band 1.7kHz

• bandwidth:RES 1.7e3Hz

MEASure:SPECtrum[n]? • MEAS:SPEC?

• Meas:spec?

• meas:spec3?

The number 3 in the last meas example causes it to return different results then the commands above it. See the command description for more information.

[:SENSe]:DETector[:FUNCtion] NEGative|POSitive|SAMPle

INITiate:CONTinuous ON|OFF|1|0 The sample commands below are identical.

• DET:FUNC neg

Parameters in Commands

There are four basic types of parameters: booleans, keywords, variables and arbitrary block program data.

OFF|ON|0|1 (Boolean) This is a two state boolean-type parameter. The

numeric value 0 is equivalent to OFF. Any numeric value other than 0 is equivalent to ON. The numeric values of 0 or 1 are commonly used in the command instead of OFF or ON. Queries of the parameter always return a numeric value of 0 or 1.

keyword The keywords that are allowed for a particular

command are defined in the command syntax description.

Units Numeric variables may include units. The valid units

for a command depend on the variable type being used. See the following variable descriptions. The indicated default units will be used if no units are sent. Units can follow the numerical value with, or without, a space.

Variable A variable can be entered in exponential format as well

as standard numeric format. The appropriate range of the variable and its optional units are defined in the command description.

The following keywords may also be used in commands, but not all commands allow keyword variables.

• DEFault - resets the parameter to its default value.

• UP - increments the parameter.

• DOWN - decrements the parameter.

• MINimum - sets the parameter to the smallest

possible value.

• MAXimum - sets the parameter to the largest possible value.

The numeric value for the function’s MINimum, MAXimum, or DEFault can be queried by adding the keyword to the command in its query form. The keyword must be entered following the question mark.

Example query: SENSE:FREQ:CENTER? MAX

<freq> <bandwidth> Is a positive rational number followed by optional units.

The default unit is Hz. Acceptable units include: HZ, KHZ, MHZ, GHZ.

<time> <seconds> Is a rational number followed by optional units. The

default units are seconds. Acceptable units include: S, MS, US.

<rel_power> <rel_ampl> Is a positive rational number followed by optional units.

The default units are dB. Acceptable units include: DB.

<angle> <degrees> Is a rational number followed by optional units. The

default units are degrees. Acceptable units include: DEG, RAD.

<integer> An integer value has no units.

<percent> Is a rational number between 0 and 100, with no units.

<string> Is a series of alpha numeric characters.

<bit_pattern> Specifies a series of bits rather than a numeric value.

The bit series is the binary representation of a numeric value. There are no units.

Bit patterns are most often specified as hexadecimal numbers, though octal, binary or decimal numbers may also be used. In the SCPI language these numbers are specified as:

Hexadecimal, #Hdddd or #hdddd where ‘d’ represents a

•

hexadecimal digit 0 to 9 and ‘a’ to ‘f ’. So #h14 can be used instead of the decimal number 20.

• Octal, #Odddddd or #odddddd where ‘d’ represents an octal digit 0 to 7. So #o24 can be used instead of the decimal number 20.

• Binary, #Bdddddddddddddddd or #bdddddddddddddddd

where ‘d’ represents a 1 or 0. So #b10100 can be used instead of the decimal number 20.

Chapter 2 63

SCPI Language Basics

Block Program Data

Some parameters consist of a block of data. There are a few standard types of block data. Arbitrary blocks of program data can also be used.

<trace> Is an array of rational numbers corresponding to

displayed trace data. See FORMat:DATA for information about available data formats.

A SCPI command often refers to a block of current trace data with a variable name such as: Trace1, TRACE2, or trace3, depending on which trace is being accessed.

<arbitrary block data> Consists of a block of data bytes. The first

information sent in the block is an ASCII header beginning with #. The block is terminated with a semi-colon. The header can be used to determine how many bytes are in the data block. There are no units.

For example, suppose the header is #512320.

• The first digit in the header (5) tells you how many additional digits/bytes there are in the header.

• The 12320 means 12 thousand, 3 hundred, 20 data bytes follow the header.

• Divide this number of bytes by your current data format (bytes/data point), either 8 (for real64), or 4 (for real32). For this example, if you’re using real64 then there are 1540 points in the block.

Putting Multiple Commands on the Same Line

Multiple commands can be written on the same line, reducing your code space requirement. To do this:

• Commands must be separated with a semicolon (;).

• If the commands are in different subsystems, the key word for the

new subsystem must be preceded by a colon (:).

• If the commands are in the same subsystem, the full hierarchy of the command key words need not be included. The second command can start at the same key word level as the command that was just executed.

SCPI Termination and Separator Syntax

A terminator must be provided when an instrument is controlled using RS-232. There are several issues to be understood about choosing the proper SCPI terminator and separator when this is the case. There is no current SCPI standard for RS-232. Although one intent of SCPI is to be interface independent, <END> is only defined for IEEE 488 operation. At the time of this writing, the RS-232 terminator issue was in the process of being addressed in IEEE standard 1174.

A semicolon (;) is not a SCPI terminator, it is a separator. The purpose of the separator is to queue multiple commands or queries in order to obtain multiple actions and/or responses. Make sure that you do not attempt to use the semicolon as a terminator when using RS-232 control.

All binary trace and response data is terminated with <NL><END>, as defined in Section 8.5 of IEEE Standard 488.2-1992, IEEE Standard

Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1992.

There are a number of things you can do in your programs to make them run faster:

“Minimize the number of GPIB transactions.” on page 68.

“Avoid unnecessary use of *RST.” on page 70.

“Consider using LAN instead of GPIB.” on page 70.

on page 71.

“Avoid using RFBurst trigger for single burst signals.” on page 71.

“When making power measurements on multiple bursts or slots, use CALCulate:DATA[n]:COMPress?” on page 72.

Turn off the display updates.

:DISPlay:ENABle OFF turns off the display. That is, the data may still be visible, but it will no longer be updated. Updating the display slows down the measurement. For remote testing, since the computer is processing the data rather than a person, there is no need to display the

data on the analyzer screen.

Use binary data format instead of ASCII.

The ASCII data format is the instrument default since it is easier for people to understand and is required by SCPI for *RST. However, data input/output is faster using the binary formats.

:FORMat:DATA REAL,64 selects the 64-bit binary data format for all your numerical data queries. You may need to swap the byte order if you are using a PC rather than UNIX. NORMal is the default byte order. Use :FORMat:BORDer SWAP to change the byte order so that the least significant byte is sent first. (Real,32 which is smaller and somewhat faster, should only be used if you don’t need full resolution for your data. You probably need full resolution if you have frequency data.)

When using the binary format, data is sent in a block of bytes with an

ASCII header. A data query would return the block of data in the

following format: #DNNN<nnn binary data bytes>

Chapter 2 67

Programming Fundamentals

Improving the Speed of Your Measurements

To parse the data:

• Read two characters (#D), where D tells you how many N characters follow the D character.

• Read D characters, the resulting integer specifies the number of data bytes sent.

• Read the bytes into a real array.

For example, suppose the header is #512320.

• The first character/digit in the header (5) tells you how many additional digits there are in the header.

• The 12320 means 12 thousand, 3 hundred, 20 data bytes follow the header.

• Divide this number of bytes by your current data format (bytes/data point), 8 for real,64. For this example, there are 1540 data points in the block of data.

Minimize the number of GPIB transactions.

When you are using the GPIB for control of your instrument, each transaction requires driver overhead and bus handshaking, so minimizing these transactions reduces the time used.

• You can reduce bus transactions by sending multiple commands per transaction. See the information on “Putting Multiple Commands on the Same Line” in the SCPI Language Basics section.

• If you are making the same measurement multiple times with small changes in the measurement setup, use the single READ command. It is faster then using INITiate and FETCh.

• If you are changing the frequency and making a measurement repeatedly, you can reduce transactions by sending the optional frequency parameter with your READ command. (For example, READ:<meas>? {<freq>})

The CONFigure/MEASure/READ commands allow you to send center frequency setup information along with the command. (for example, MEAS:PVT? 935.2MHz) This sets the power vs. time measurement to it’s defaults, then changes the center frequency to

935.2 MHz, initiates a measurement, waits until it is complete and returns the measurement data.

68 Chapter 2

Programming Fundamentals

Improving the Speed of Your Measurements

If you are doing bottom/middle/top measurements on base stations, you can reduce transactions by making a time slot active at each of the B,M,T frequencies. Then issue three measurements at once in the programming code and retrieve three data sets with just one GPIB transaction pair (write, read).

For example, send READ:PFER? <Freq_bottom>;PFER? <Freq_middle>;PFER? <Freq_top> This single transaction initiates three different phase and frequency error measurements at each of the three different frequencies provided and returns the data. Then you read the three sets of data.

Chapter 2 69

Programming Fundamentals

Improving the Speed of Your Measurements

Avoid unnecessary use of *RST.

Remember that while *RST does not change the current mode, it presets all the measurements and settings to their factory defaults. This forces you to reset your analyzer’s measurement settings even if they use similar mode settings or measurement settings. See Minimize

DUT/instrument setup changes. below.

Also remember that *RST command puts the instrument in the single measurement (or sweep) mode.

Minimize DUT/instrument setup changes.

• Some instrument setup parameters are common to multiple measurements. You should look at your measurement process with an eye toward minimizing setup changes. If your test process involves nested loops, make sure that the inner-most loop is the fastest.Also check if the loops could be nested in a different order to reduce the number of parameter changes as you step through the test.

• Remember that if you have already set your Meas Setup parameters for a measurement, and you want to make another one of these measurements later, use READ:<meas>?. The MEASure:<meas>?. command resets all the settings to the defaults, while READ changes back to that measurement without changing the setup parameters from the previous use.

• Also remember that Mode Setup parameters remain constant across all the measurements (such as: center/channel frequency, amplitude, radio standard, input selection, trigger setup). You don’t have to re-initialize them each time you change to a different measurement.

Consider using LAN instead of GPIB.

LAN allows faster I/O of data, especially if you are moving large blocks of data. You will not get this improved throughput if there is excessive LAN traffic (i.e. your test instrument is connected to enterprise LAN). You may want to use a private LAN that is only for your test system.

Avoid automatic attenuator setting.

The internal process for automatically setting the value of the attenuator requires measuring an initial burst to identify the proper attenuator setting before the next burst can be measured properly. If you know the amount of attenuation or the signal level needed for your measurement, just set it.

Note that spurious types of measurements must be done with the attenuator in the automatic mode (for example, output RF spectrum, transmit spurs, adjacent channel power, spectrum emission mask).

70 Chapter 2

Programming Fundamentals

Improving the Speed of Your Measurements

These types of measurements begin tuned to the signal, then tune away from it and must be able to reset the attenuation value as needed.

Optimize your GSM output RF spectrum switching measurement.

For ORFS (switching), setting the break frequency to zero (0) puts the analyzer in a measurement setup where it can use a direct time measurement algorithm, instead of an FFT-based algorithm. This non-FFT approach is faster. (However, remember that your break frequency for ORFS (modulation) measurements must be >400 kHz for valid measurements, so you will need to change the break frequency if you are making both types of measurements.)

Avoid using RFBurst trigger for single burst signals.

RFBurst triggering works best when measuring signals with repetitive bursts. For a non-repetitive or single burst signals, use the IF(video) trigger or external trigger, depending on what you have available.

RFBurst triggering depends on its establishment of a valid triggering reference level, based on previous bursts. If you only have a single burst, the peak detection nature of this triggering function, may result in the trigger being done at the wrong level/point generating incorrect data, or it may not trigger at all.

Are you making a single burst measurement?

To get consistent triggering and good data for this type of measurement application, you need to synchronize the triggering of the DUT with the analyzer. You should use the analyzer’s internal status system for this.

The first step in this process is to initialize the status register mask to look for the “waiting for trigger” condition (bit 5). Use

:STATus:OPERation:ENABle 32

Then, in the measurement loop:

• :STATus:OPERation:EVENt? This query of the operation event register is to clear the current register contents.

• :READ:PVT? initiates a measurement (in this example, for GSM power versus time) using the previous setup. The measurement will then be waiting for the trigger.

Make sure the attenuation is set manually. Do NOT use automatic attenuation as this requires an additional burst to determine the proper attenuation level before the measurement can be made.

• Create a small loop that will serial poll the instrument for a status byte value of binary 128. Then wait 1 msec (100 ms if the display is left on/enabled) before checking again, to keep the bus traffic down.

Chapter 2 71

Programming Fundamentals

Improving the Speed of Your Measurements

These two commands are repeated until the condition is set, so we know that the trigger is armed and ready.

• Trigger your DUT to send the burst.

• Return the measurement data to your computer.

NOTE This process cannot be done by using with the current VXI plug-n-play

driver implementation. You will need to use the above SCPI commands.

When making power measurements on multiple bursts or slots, use CALCulate:DATA[n]:COMPress?

The CALC:DATA:COMP? query is the fastest way to measure power data for multiple bursts/slots. There are two reasons for this: 1. it can be used to measure data across multiple, consecutive slots/frames with just one measurement, instead of a separate measurement on each slot, and 2. it can pre-process and/or decimate the data so that you only return the information that you need which minimizes data transfer to the computer.

For example: let’s say you want to do a power measurement for a GSM base station where you generate a repeating frame with 8 different power levels. You can gather all the data with a single CALC:DATA:COMP? acquisition, using the waveform measurement.

With CALC:DATA2:COMP? MEAN,9,197,1730 you can measure the mean power in those bursts. This single command will measure the data across all 8 frames, locate the first slot/burst in each of the frames, calculate the mean power of those bursts, then return the resulting 8 values.

NOTE For later version of firmware (after A.05.00) you can use equivalent

time values for the CALC:DATA:COMP? query. The command would then be CALC:DATA2:COMP? MEAN,25us,526us,579.6us,8

Let’s set up the GSM Waveform measurement:

• :CONF:WAV? turns on the waveform measurement

• :WAV:BAND 300khz sets a resolution bandwidth of 300 kHz

• :WAV:SWE:TIME 5ms sets a sweep time of 5 milliseconds

• :WAV:BAND:TYPE FLAT selects the flat filter type

• :WAV:DEC 4;DEC:STAT ON selects a decimation of 4 and turns on

decimation. This reduces the amount of data that needs to be sent since the instrument hardware decimates (throws some away).

• :INIT to initiate a measurement and acquire the data

• CALC:DATA2:COMP? MEAN,25us,526us,579.6us,8 to return the

desired data

Improving the Speed of Your Measurements

There are two versions of this command depending on your firmware revision. Earlier revisions require the optional variables be entered in terms of their position in the trace data array. Versions after A.05.00 allow the variables to be entered in terms of time.

For early firmware revisions you need to know the sample interval. In the waveform measurement it is equal to the aperture value. Query :WAVeform:APERture? to find the sample interval. (Note: the WAV:APER? command always takes decimation into account.) The sample interval (aperture value) is dependent on the settings for resolution bandwidth, filter type, and decimation. See the following table to see how these value relate.

The parameters for this GSM example are:

MEAN,9,197,1730 (or with later firmware: MEAN,25us,526us,579.6us,8)

• MEAN calculates the mean of the measurement points indicated

• 9 is how many points you want to discard before you look at the data.

This allows you to skip over any “unsettled” values at the beginning of the burst. You can calculate this start offset by

µs/sampleInterval)l

(25

• 197 is the length of the data you want to use. This would be the portion of the burst that you want to find the mean power over. You can calculate this length by (526

µs/sampleInterval)

• 1730 is how much data you have before you repeat the process. For this example it’s the time between the start offset point on the burst in the first slot (first frame) to the same spot on the burst in the first slot (second frame). You can calculate this by (576.9

µs*N/sampleInterval) where N is the number of data items

that you want. In this case it is the number of slots in the frame, N=8.)

Using the Instrument Status Registers

When you are programming the instrument you may need to monitor instrument status to check for error conditions or monitor changes.You can determine the state of certain instrument events/conditions by programming the status register system. IEEE common commands (those beginning with *) access the higher-level summary registers. To access the information from specific registers you would use the STATus commands.

Using the Status Registers

Figure on page 82 shows the available instrument status registers and

their hierarchy.

• “What are the Status Registers?” on page 76.

• “Why Would You Use the Status Registers?” on page 78.

• “Using a Status Register” on page 80.

• “Using the Service Request (SRQ) Method” on page 80.

• “What are the Status Registers?” on page 76.

• “Standard Event Status Register” on page 86.

• “Operation and Questionable Status Registers” on page 88.

What are the Status Registers?

The status system is comprised of multiple registers which are arranged in a hierarchical order. The lower-level status registers propagate their data to the higher-level registers in the data structures by means of summary bits. The status byte register is at the top of the hierarchy and contains general status information for the instrument’s events and conditions. All other individual registers are used to determine the specific events or conditions.

The operation and questionable status registers are sets of registers that monitor the overall instrument condition. They are accesed with the STATus:OPERation and STATus:QUEStionable commands in the STATus command subsystem. Each register set is made up of five registers:

76 Chapter 2

Condition Register

Reports the real-time state of the signals monitored by this register set.There is no latching or buffering for a condition register.

Positive Transition Register

This filter register controls which signals will set a bit in the event register when the signal makes a low to high transition (when the condition bit changes from 0 to 1).

Negative Transition Register

This filter register controls which signals will set a bit in the event register when the signal makes a high to low transition (when the condition bit changes from 1 to

0).

Event Register

Latches any signal state changes, in the way specified by the filter registers. Bits in the event register are never cleared by signal state changes. Event registers are cleared when read. They are also cleared by *CLS and by presetting the instrument.

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

Event Enable Register

Controls which of the bits, being set in the event register, will be summarized as a single output for the register set. Summary bits are then used by the next higher register.

The STATus:QUEStionable registers report abnormal operating conditions. The status register hierarchy is:

1. The summary outputs from the six STATus:QUEStionable:<keyword> detail registers are inputs to the STATus:QUEStionable register.

2. The summary output from the STATus:QUEStionable register is an input to the Status Byte Register. See figure titled “Overall Status

The STATus:OPERation register set has no summarized inputs. The inputs to the STATus:OPERation:CONDition register indicate the real time state of the instrument. The STATus:OPERation:EVENt register summary output is an input to the Status Byte Register.

The STATus:OPERation:ENABle register has an additional function in the E4406A. It is ANDed with the STATus:OPERation:CONDition register to determine what the instrument busy state is, that is then interpreted by the *OPC, *OPC? and *WAI commands. If the ANDed result is non-zero the instrument is considered busy.

Chapter 2 77

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

What are the Status Register SCPI Commands? Most monitoring of the instrument conditions is done at the highest level using the IEEE common commands indicated below. Complete command descriptions are available in the IEEE commands section at the beginning of the language reference. Individual status registers can be set and queried using the commands in the STATus subsystem of the language reference.

*CLS (clear status) clears the status byte by emptying the error queue and clearing all the event registers.

*ESE, *ESE? (event status enable) sets and queries the bits in the enable register part of the standard event status register.

*ESR? (event status register) queries and clears the event register part of the standard event status register.

*OPC, *OPC? (operation complete) sets the standard event status register to monitor the completion of all commands. The query stops any new commands from being processed until the current processing is complete, then returns a ‘1’.

*SRE, *SRE? (service request enable) sets and queries the value of the service request enable register.

*STB? (status byte) queries the value of the status byte register without erasing its contents.

Why Would You Use the Status Registers?

Your program often needs to be able to detect and manage error conditions or changes in instrument status. There are two methods you can use to programmatically access the information in status registers:

• The polling method

• The service request (SRQ) method

In the polling method, the instrument has a passive role. It only tells the controller that conditions have changed when the controller asks the right question. In the SRQ method, the instrument takes a more active role. It tells the controller when there has been a condition change without the controller asking. Either method allows you to monitor one or more conditions.

The polling method works well if you do not need to know about changes the moment they occur. The SRQ method should be used if you must know immediately when a condition changes. To detect a change using the polling method, the program must repeatedly read the registers.

78 Chapter 2

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

Use the SRQ method when:

— you need time-critical notification of changes — you are monitoring more than one device which supports SRQs — you need to have the controller do something else while waiting — you can’t afford the performance penalty inherent to polling

Use polling when:

— your programming language/development environment does not

support SRQ interrupts

— you want to write a simple, single-purpose program and don’t want

the added complexity of setting up an SRQ handler

To monitor a condition:

1. Determine which register contains the bit that reports the condition.

2. Send the unique SCPI query that reads that register.

3. Examine the bit to see if the condition has changed.

You can monitor conditions in different ways.

• Check the current instrument hardware and firmware status.

Do this by querying the condition registers which continuously monitor status. These registers represent the current state of the instrument. Bits in a condition register are updated in real time. When the condition monitored by a particular bit becomes true, the bit is set to 1. When the condition becomes false, the bit is reset to 0.

• Monitor a particular condition (bit).

You can enabled a particular bit(s), using the event enable register. The instrument will then monitor that particular condition(s). If the bit becomes true (0 to 1 transition) in the event register, it will stay set until the event register is cleared. Querying the event register allows you to detect that this condition occurred even if the condition no longer exists. The event register can only be cleared by querying it or sending the *CLS command.

• Monitor a particular type of change in a condition (bit).

— The transition registers are preset to register if the a condition

goes from 0 to 1 (false to true, or a positive transition).

— This can be changed so the selected condition is detected if the bit

goes from 1 to 0 (true to false, or a negative transition).

— It can also be set for both types of transition occuring. — Or it can be set for neither transition. If both transition registers

are set to 0 for a particular bit position, that bit will not be set in the event register for either type of change.

Chapter 2 79

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

Using a Status Register

Each bit in a register is represented by a numerical value based on its location. See Figure 2-1 below. This number is sent with the command, to enable a particular bit. If you want to enable more than one bit, you would send the sum of all the bits that you are interested in.

For example, to enable bit 0 and bit 6 of standard event status register, you would send the command *ESE 65 because 1 + 64 = 65.

The results of a query are evaluated in a similar way. If the *STB? command returns a decimal value of 140, (140 = 128 + 8 + 4) then bit 7 is true, bit 3 is true and bit 2 is true.

Figure 2-1 Status Register Bit Values

NOTE Bit 15 is not used to report status.

Using the Service Request (SRQ) Method

Your language, bus and programming environment must be able to support SRQ interrupts. (For example, BASIC used with the GPIB.) When you monitor a condition with the SRQ method, you must:

1. Determine which bit monitors the condition.

2. Determine how that bit reports to the request service (RQS) bit of the status byte.

3. Send GPIB commands to enable the bit that monitors the condition and to enable the summary bits that report the condition to the RQS bit.

4. Enable the controller to respond to service requests.

When the condition changes, the instrument sets its RQS bit and the GPIB SRQ line. The controller is informed of the change as soon as it occurs. As a result, the time the controller would otherwise have used to monitor the condition can be used to perform other tasks. Your program determines how the controller responds to the SRQ.

80 Chapter 2

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

Generating a Service Request To use the SRQ method, you must understand how service requests are generated. Bit 6 of the status byte register is the request service (RQS) bit. The *SRE command is used to configure the RQS bit to report changes in instrument status. When such a change occurs, the RQS bit is set. It is cleared when the status byte register is queried using *SRE? (with a serial poll.) It can be queried without erasing the contents with *STB?.

When a register set causes a summary bit in the status byte to change from 0 to 1, the instrument can initiate the service request (SRQ) process. However, the process is only initiated if both of the following conditions are true:

• The corresponding bit of the service request enable register is also set to 1.

• The instrument does not have a service request pending. (A service request is considered to be pending between the time the instrument’s SRQ process is initiated and the time the controller reads the status byte register.)

The SRQ process sets the GPIB SRQ line true. It also sets the status byte’s request service (RQS) bit to 1. Both actions are necessary to inform the controller that the instrument requires service. Setting the SRQ line only informs the controller that some device on the bus requires service. Setting the RQS bit allows the controller to determine which instrument requires service.

If your program enables the controller to detect and respond to service requests, it should instruct the controller to perform a serial poll when the GPIB SRQ line is set true. Each device on the bus returns the contents of its status byte register in response to this poll. The device whose RQS bit is set to 1 is the device that requested service.

NOTE When you read the instrument’s status byte register with a serial poll,

the RQS bit is reset to 0. Other bits in the register are not affected.

NOTE If the status register is configured to SRQ on end-of-measurement and

the measurement is in continuous mode, then restarting a measurement (INIT command) can cause the measuring bit to pulse low. This causes an SRQ when you have not actually reached the "end-of-measurement" condition. To avoid this:

1. Set INITiate:CONTinuous off.

2. Set/enable the status registers.

3. Restart the measurement (send INIT).

Status Byte Register

The RQS bit is read and reset by a serial poll. MSS (the same bit position) is read, non-destructively by the *STB? command. If you serial poll bit 6 it is read as RQS, but if you send *STB it reads bit 6 as MSS. For more information refer to IEEE 488.2 standards, section 11.

Bit Description

0, 1 These bits are always set to 0.

2 A 1 in this bit position indicates that the SCPI error queue is not empty which means

that it contains at least one error message.

3 A 1 in this bit position indicates that the data questionable summary bit has been set.

The data questionable event register can then be read to determine the specific condition that caused this bit to be set.

4 A 1 in this bit position indicates that the instrument has data ready in the output queue.

There are no lower status groups that provide input to this bit.

5 A 1 in this bit position indicates that the standard event summary bit has been set. The

standard event status register can then be read to determine the specific event that caused this bit to be set.

6 A 1 in this bit position indicates that the instrument has at least one reason to report a

status change. This bit is also called the master summary status bit (MSS).

7 A 1 in this bit position indicates that the standard operation summary bit has been set.

The standard operation event register can then be read to determine the specific condition that caused this bit to be set.

To query the status byte register, send the command *STB? The response will be the decimal sum of the bits which are set to 1. For example, if bit number 7 and bit number 3 are set to 1, the decimal sum of the 2 bits is 128 plus 8. So the decimal value 136 is returned. The *STB command does not clear the status register.

84 Chapter 2

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

In addition to the status byte register, the status byte group also contains the service request enable register. This register lets you choose which bits in the status byte register will trigger a service request.

Send the *SRE <number> command where <number> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable plus the decimal value of bit 6. For example, assume that you want to enable bit 7 so that whenever the standard operation status register summary bit is set to 1 it will trigger a service request. Send the command *SRE 192 (because 128 + 64). You must always add 64 (the numeric value of RQS bit 6) to your numeric sum when you enable any bits for a service request. The command *SRE? returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits previously enabled with the *SRE <number> command.

The service request enable register presets to zeros (0).

The standard event status register contains the following bits:

Bit Description

0 A 1 in this bit position indicates that all pending operations were completed following

execution of the *OPC command.

1 This bit is always set to 0. (The instrument does not request control.)

−399 to −300 and 1 to 32767.

−299 to −200.

−199 to −100.

The standard event status register is used to determine the specific event that set bit 5 in the status byte register. To query the standard event status register, send the command *ESR?. The response will be the decimal sum of the bits which are enabled (set to 1). For example, if bit number 7 and bit number 3 are enabled, the decimal sum of the 2 bits is 128 plus 8. So the decimal value 136 is returned.

Chapter 2 87

Programming Fundamentals

Using the Instrument Status Registers

In addition to the standard event status register, the standard event status group also contains a standard event status enable register. This register lets you choose which bits in the standard event status register will set the summary bit (bit 5 of the status byte register) to 1. Send the *ESE <number> command where <number> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable. For example, to enable bit 7 and bit 6 so that whenever either of those bits is set to 1, the standard event status summary bit of the status byte register will be set to 1, send the command *ESE 192 (128 + 64). The command *ESE? returns the decimal value of the sum of the bits previously enabled with the *ESE <number> command.

The standard event status enable register presets to zeros (0).

Operation and Questionable Status Registers

The operation and questionable status registers are registers that monitor the overall instrument condition. They are accessed with the STATus:OPERation and STATus:QUEStionable commands in the STATus command subsystem.

Operation Status Register The operation status register monitors the current instrument measurement state. It checks to see if the instrument is calibrating, sweeping, or waiting for a trigger. For more information see the *OPC? command located in the Common IEEEE Commands section of the Language Reference chapter.

Questionable Status Register The questionable status register monitors the instrument to see if anything questionable has happened. It is looking for anything that might cause an error or a bad measurement like a hardware problem, an out of calibration situation, or a unusual signal. All the bits are summary bits from lower-level event registers.

Using ftp for File Transfers

File transfers can be done using the instrument LAN connection. For example, you can use the ftp functionality to download instrument screen dumps to an external server.

A sample ftp session might be:

ftp 15.88.163.118 (<instrument IP address>)

At the name prompt enter:

vsa

At the password prompt enter:

service

You are now in the instrument /users directory and can get files from the analyzer. Type in help at the prompt to see the ftp commands that are available on your system. Typing quit will end your ftp session.

NOTE Do NOT delete files from this directory. Most of the files are required

for the instrument, and it’s optional personality modes, to operate.

Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer

Using Telnet to Send Commands

Using telnet to send commands to your analyzer works in a similar way to communicating over GPIB. You establish a connection with the analyzer, and then send or receive information using SCPI commands.

NOTE If you need to control the GPIB using “device clear” or SRQ’s, you can

use SICL LAN. SICL LAN provides control of your analyzer via IEEE

488.2 GPIB over the LAN. See “Using SICL LAN to Control the

Analyzer” on page 95.

On unix:

The syntax of the telnet command is:

telnet <vsa hostname> 5023

telnet <IP address> 5023

The initial telnet connection message will be displayed and then a SCPI> prompt. At the SCPI prompt, simply enter the desired SCPI commands.

On a PC:

You would type at the dos prompt

telnet

The telnet gui has the host/port setting menu.

Unix Telnet Example:

To connect to the instrument with host name my4406 and port number 5023, enter the following command:

telnet my4406 5023

When you connect to the instrument, it will display a welcome message and a command prompt.

The instrument is now ready to accept your SCPI commands. As you type SCPI commands, query results appear on the next line. When you are done, break the telnet connection using the escape character (in this case Ctrl ]), and type quit.

The analyzer responds with the a welcome message and the SCPI prompt. You can immediately enter programming (SCPI) commands. Typical commands might be:

CONF:SPECTRUM CALC:SPECTRUM:MARK:TRACE SPECTRUM CALC:SPECTRUM:MARK:MAX CALC:SPECTRUM:MARK:MAX?

92 Chapter 2

Programming Fundamentals

Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer

The small program above sets the analyzer to measure a signal in the frequency domain, places a marker on the maximum point, and then queries the analyzer for the amplitude of the marker.

You need to press Enter after typing in each command. After pressing Enter on the last line in the example above, the analyzer returns the amplitude level of the marker to your computer and displays it on the next line. For example, after typing CALC:SPECTRUM:MARK:MAX? and pressing Enter, the computer would display:

+1.71000000000E+002

When you are done, close the telnet connection. Enter the escape character to get the telnet prompt. The escape character (Ctrl and "]" in this example) does not print.

At the telnet prompt, type quit or close.

The telnet connection closes and you see your regular prompt.

Connection closed.

Figure 2-2 shows a terminal screen using the example commands

above.

Figure 2-2 Example Telnet Session

NOTE If your telnet connection is in a mode called "line-by-line," there is no

local echo. This means you will not be able to see the characters you are typing on your computer’s display until after you press the Enter key.

To remedy this, you need to change your telnet connection to "character-by-character" mode. This can be accomplished in most systems by escaping out of telnet to the telnet> prompt and then typing mode char. If this does not work, consult your telnet program’s documentation for how to change to "character-by-character" mode.

The Standard UNIX TELNET Command:

Synopsis telnet [host [port]]

Description The telnet command is used to communicate with

another host using the TELNET protocol. When telnet is invoked with host or port arguments, a connection is opened to host, and input is sent from the user to host.

Options and Parameters telnet operates in line-by-line mode or in character-at-a-time mode. In line-by-line mode, typed text is first echoed on the screen. When the line is completed by pressing the

Enter

key, the text line is then sent to host. In character-at-a-time mode, text is echoed to the screen and sent to host as it is typed.

In some cases, if your telnet connection is in “line-by-line” mode, there is no local echo. This means you will not be able to see the characters you are typing on your computer's display until after you press the

Enter

key.

To remedy this, you need to change your telnet connection to “character-by-character” mode. This can be accomplished in most systems by escaping out of telnet to the telnet> prompt and then typing mode char. Consult your telnet program's documentation for how to change to “character-by-character” mode.

Using Socket LAN to Send Commands

Your analyzer implements a sockets Applications Programming Interface (API) compatible with Berkeley sockets, Winsock, and other standard sockets APIs. You can write programs using sockets to control your analyzer by sending SCPI commands to a socket connection you create in your program. Refer to Using a Java™ Applet Over Socket

LAN in this chapter for example programs using sockets to control the

analyzer.

Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer

Using SICL LAN to Control the Analyzer

SICL LAN is a LAN protocol using the Standard Instrument Control Library (SICL). It provides control of your analyzer over the LAN, using a variety of computing platforms, I/O interfaces, and operating systems. With SICL LAN, you control your remote analyzer over the LAN with the same methods you use for a local analyzer connected directly to the controller with the GPIB. More information about SICL LAN can be found in the HP Standard Instrument Control Library user’s guide for HP-UX, part number E2091-90004.

Your analyzer implements a SICL LAN server. To control the analyzer, you need a SICL LAN client application running on a computer or workstation that is connected to the analyzer over a LAN. Typical applications implementing a SICL LAN client include

• HP/Agilent VEE

• HP/Agilent BASIC

• National Instrument’s LabView with HP/Agilent VISA/SICL client

drivers

NOTE The SICL LAN protocol is Agilent’s implementation of the VXI-11

Instrument Protocol, defined by the VXIbus Consortium working group.

At the time of the publication of this manual, National Instruments’ VISA does not support the VXI-11 Instrument Protocol. However, future revisions of National Instruments VISA will support the VX-11 protocol. Contact National Instruments for their release date.

SICL LAN can be used with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and HP-UX.

Collecting SICL LAN Set-up Information

Before you set up your analyzer as a SICL LAN server, you will need to collect some information about your VISA/SICL LAN client application. The “value” of the following parameters can be found from the front panel

System keys. They can then be used to set up your VISA/SICL

LAN client application:

Emulated GPIB Name The GPIB name is the name given to a device used to

communicate with the analyzer. Your analyzer is shipped with gpib7 as its GPIB name. The GPIB name is the same as the remote SICL address.

Emulated GPIB Logical Unit The logical unit number is a unique integer assigned to

the device to be controlled using SICL LAN. Your analyzer is shipped with the logical unit number set to

Chapter 2 95

Programming Fundamentals

Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer

Emulated GPIB Address The emulated GPIB address (bus address) is assigned

to the device to be controlled using SICL LAN. The emulated GPIB address is automatically set to be the same as the current GPIB address. The instrument is shipped with the emulated GPIB address set to 18.

The SICL LAN server uses the GPIB name, GPIB logical unit number, and GPIB address configuration on the SICL LAN client to communicate with the client. You must match these parameters exactly (including case) when you set up the SICL LAN client and server.

Configuring Your Analyzer as a SICL LAN Server

After you have collected the required information from the SICL LAN client, perform the following steps to set up your analyzer as a SICL LAN server:

1. Identify the GPIB name.

Press

System, Config I/O, SICL Server, Emulated GPIB Name, and notice

that it is gpib7.

2. Notice that the

3. Notice that the

Controlling Your Analyzer with SICL LAN and HP/Agilent VEE

Before you can use SICL LAN with VEE, you need to set up VISA/SICL LAN I/O drivers for use with your VEE application. Consult your VEE documentation for information how to do this.

NOTE If you are using HP/Agilent VEE and SICL LAN, the logical unit

number is limited to the range of 0-8.

The logical unit number is the same as the interface select code (ISC). VEE reserves ISC values 9-18, and does not allow you to use them for SICL/LAN communications with your analyzer. VEE also does not allow any ISC values higher than 18.
