N9061A Application Description

N9061A Application Description

The N9061A application is the remote language compatibility suite for the Agilent Technologies X-Series of signal analyzers. It allows the analyzers 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

NOTE

The 8566A/B and the 8568A/B are not considered part of the 8560 series of

 

analyzers.

The X-Series analyzer with the N9061A application installed is designed to replace these analyzers in many automated systems with minimal or no modification to the currently used measurement software.

There are two options for N9061A. One is N9061A-1FP, 8566A/B and 8568A/B remote language compatibility, the other is N9061A-2FP, 8560 Series remote language compatibility.

Signal Analyzers with N9061A

When you purchase your X-Series signal analyzer with the Remote Language Compatibility Suite (N9061A), this manual - the Remote Language Compatibility Guide (N9020-90119) is included on the documentation CD and is installed on the analyzer in the online help.

For information on PXA series analyzers and other related documentation, refer to the PXA web site at http://www.agilent.com/find/pxa.

For information on MXA series analyzers and other related documentation, refer to the MXA web site at http://www.agilent.com/find/mxa/.

For information on EXA series analyzers and other related documentation, refer to the EXA web site at http://www.agilent.com/find/exa/.

This Remote Language Compatibility 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 X-Series analyzer. For a fuller description of these commands, refer to the manuals supplied with your original analyzer.

N9061A General Rules and Limitations

N9061A General Rules and Limitations

The N9061A application 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.

Remote Control

The N9061A application in X-Series signal analyzers supports remote operation through the GPIB interface. It does not support working over LAN, USB or Telnet.

Units

The N9061A application supports all units used in legacy products. The allowed units are HZ, KHZ, MHZ, GHZ, KZ, MZ, GZ, DBM, DBMV, DBUV, MV, UV, V, MW, UW, W, DB, DM, MS, US, SC, and S (case insensitive in 8566/68). A command terminator such as ";" also acts as a unit terminator.

Numeric Ranges

Numeric ranges are limited to that of the X-Series unless otherwise stated, although commands such as FS or IP that go to a default range will use the range of the legacy instrumentation.

Returning Data

The X-Series and legacy instruments have a different approach when returning data to the controller. The X-Series and 8560-series analyzers operate a FIFO buffer for command return values. If a command returns a value that the controller does not read, the returned data is stored until such a time that the controller requires the value. The 8566, 8568, and 8590-series legacy analyzers only store one value at a time. Any value stored is overwritten each time a command returns a value. The N9071A application handles this difference appropriately only within a single command string.

In the case of query string, it returns the query result for the last command in the string. For example, if "CF?MA?FA?" is sent, the result of FA? will be returned. However, this rule does not work if the query is located at both sides of the "TS" command. When the command string "MA;TS;CF?" is sent, the result of CF? will be returned in the next query.

AC/DC Coupling

The 44 GHz and 50 GHz X-Series analyzers only have DC coupling. The X-Series analyzers with a 26.5 GHz frequency range and lower, default to AC coupling on preset. The N9061A application will ensure that DC coupling is the default when the selected instrument is HP8566A, HP8566B, HP8563, HP8564, or HP8565.

When AC coupled, the 8560E/61E/62E have a 100 kHz low frequency limit, while the X-Series analyzers has a 10 MHz limit.

For HP8568A/B compatibility and consistency, the I1 and I2 commands have been supported. These select AC or DC coupling at the RF input. Note tht the HP8568A/B has two RF input ports in comparison with the X-Series, which only has one.

N9061A General Rules and Limitations

Markers

The N9071A application emulates the behavior of legacy products. If someone uses a marker state which is not available in the legacy instrument, further marker behavior is undefined until instrument preset.

On systems that supported MKACT, there are 4 completely different marker pairs, each with its own information. The N9061A will store the currently active value of MKACT. If MKACT is 2 then it will use Markers 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2.

Parsing

For 8566B and 8568B, the N9061A will remember the active function and supports UP, DN, and OA, all of which change the active function. It also supports '?', which does not change the active function.

One difference between N9061A and 8566/68 is that the 8566/68 parses a command for example CF 10.3GZ, immediately when it recognizes a complete command, in this example after the GZ. However the N9061A parses at the end of a line when it sees the line termination sequence.

Couplings

To provide the most optimized use of the X-Series analyzers, the N9061A application uses the auto coupling features of the X-Series analyzers and does not attempt to mimic the exact behavior of coupling in the legacy analyzers. To eliminate the possibilities of "Meas Uncal" errors between auto and manual values, values will default to the X-Series auto settings where applicable (for example resolution bandwidth). There are several exceptions below.

To prevent timeout errors in the legacy code, the resolution bandwidth minimum matches the minimum in the legacy analyzer. Resolution bandwidth steps and resolution, however, will be X-Series values.

The video bandwidth will couple to the resolution bandwidth according to the Video bandwidth coupling offset value, specified by the VBO or VBR command. The X-Series analyzers sets the video bandwidth according to the VBO or VBR setting, but uses the X-Series analyzers available bandwidths to prevent 'Meas Uncal' errors.

Predefined Functions

In the 8566/8568/8560 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.

The N9061A application 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 no longer do so.

User-defined Functions

No user-defined functions, traces, or variables (FUNCDEF, TRDEF or VARDEF) can be used as arguments or commands in programs controlling any analyzer running the N9061A application. In addition, the behavior of certain commands that rely on the “active functions” (UP, DN, etc.) may be slightly different.

N9061A General Rules and Limitations

Supported Commands

Only a subset of the 8566/8568/8560 Series commands is supported in this application (through a GPIB interface). The list of supported commands was determined by feedback from our customers combined with technical considerations and constraints.

EP is the enable parameter in the 8560 series that, when used as a secondary keyword after a command, transfers control and allows front panel operator entry. This command is supported in the N9061A application for the same active functions as the 8560 series, but is not displayed in any of the format diagrams for individual commands.

The N9061A application supports the OA parameter that is found in several legacy commands such as AT and CF. OA is the equivalent of a query so that “CF OA” has a return value equivalent to “CF?”.

Device clear is supported by the N9061A application and causes a mode preset of the signal analyzer.

Unsupported Commands and Queries

If a command is valid for legacy products but not supported by the N9061A application, there will be no error message generated, although the Command Log file will note a "Command Not Supported" comment. Note that this logging behavior can be controlled via the preferences menu.

If a query is valid for legacy products but not supported by the N9061A application, it will return a "0" over the GPIB bus to prevent a program from hanging.

Installing the N9061A application

Installing the N9061A application

Remote language compatibility for the 8566/8568/8560 Series of analyzers is a licensed application on the X-Series analyzers. The option for 8560 series is N9061A-2FP and the option for 8566/8568 is N9061A-1FP. The application must be installed and licensed on the X-Series analyzer (PXA, MXA, EXA but not CXA) for it to work correctly.

Installation

The license is installed on the X-Series analyzer in one of the following ways:

If you purchased a new X-Series analyzer with the N9061A application then the product is installed and licensed and ready to use.

If you have an X-Series analyzer and have subsequently purchased the N9061A application then you can download the N9061A application from the Agilent website. The N9061A application is installed as part of a software upgrade. See the link below for Signal Analyzers software upgrade site. After upgrading your software you should then use your entitlement certificate to license the product (see Licensing below).

The latest revision of the software may be downloaded from:

http://www.agilent.com/find/pxa_software

http://www.agilent.com/find/mxa_software

http://www.agilent.com/find/exa_software

NOTE

No calibration is required after the N9061A application is installed.

Licensing

When you order a licensed product, you receive an entitlement certificate. Instructions are provided on your entitlement certificate to direct you to the Web site to redeem your certificate for a license key. You need to provide your instrument product number and serial number, and the entitlement certificate number.

Getting Started

Installing the N9061A application

A license key is usually for one instrument model/serial number combination. The license key can only be installed on that instrument.

License Installation Procedure over USB

1.Redeem the Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate by following the instructions on the Certificate.

2.After redeeming your Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate you will receive an e-mail with an attached License File.

3.Locate a USB storage device and save the .lic file to the root directory of the USB storage device.

4.Connect the USB storage device to one of the signal analyzer USB ports. Windows detects the new hardware and may display the configuration menu. This menu may be configured according to your preferences.

5.The signal analyzer automatically consumes the license file. (This may take a few minutes) When the license is consumed the Agilent License Manager displays a “Successful License Installation” message.

6.Alternatively the license file can be manually installed over USB or LAN by placing the license file in the following folder on the signal analyzer.

C:\Program Files\Agilent\licensing

The HP8560 series and HP8566A/B, 8568A/B key allow you to select which legacy instrument to emulate. The selected instrument determines the response to the “ID?” command and affects the behavior of commands such as IP. You can use any command offered by any of the legacy instruments regardless of the language setting. However, if the command is not correct for the selected legacy instrument there is no guarantee that the command will work as expected. This does not affect the response to the SCPI command “*IDN?”.
