Basic safety instructions

1. The product may be operated only under
the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer. Its
ventilation must not be obstructed during
operation. Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
IP protection 2X, pollution severity 2,
overvoltage category 2, use only in
enclosed spaces, max. operation altitude
max. 2000 m.

2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened
only by authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any work on
the product or opening the product, the
instrument must be disconnected from the
supply network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance or
repair must be carried out only by technical
personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz.
Only original parts may be used for
replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g.
power switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced

(visual inspection, PE conductor test,
insulation resistance measurement,
leakage current measurement, functional
test).

3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an
allergic reaction (allergens) such as
aluminum cannot be generally excluded. If
you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or
respiratory difficulties), consult a physician
immediately to determine the cause.

4. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce
an elevated level of electromagnetic
radiation. Considering that unborn life
requires increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer is required to
assess workplaces where there is a special
risk of exposure to radiation and, if
necessary, take measures to avert the
danger.

Safety Instructions

5. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration.
Disabled persons should not use the
products unless it is made certain that their
disability has no adverse effects while they
are operating the products.

6. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the product matches the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If a different voltage
is to be set, the power fuse of the product
may have to be changed accordingly.

7. In the case of products of safety class I with
movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets with
earthing contact and protective earth
connection.

8. Intentionally breaking the protective earth
connection either in the feed line or in the
product itself is not permitted. Doing so can
result in the danger of an electric shock
from the product. If extension cords or
connector strips are implemented, they
must be checked on a regular basis to
ensure that they are safe to use.

9. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the plug
of the connecting cable is regarded as the
disconnecting device. In such cases, it
must be ensured that the power plug is
easily reachable and accessible at all times
(length of connecting cable approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not
suitable for providing disconnection from
the AC supply. If products without power
switches are integrated in racks or syst ems,
a disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.

10. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. By taking appropriate safety
measures and carefully laying the power
cable, ensure that the cable cannot be
damaged and that no one can be hurt by
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.

11. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A.

12. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise this can
result in sparks, fire and/or injuries.

13. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.

14. For measurements in circuits with voltages
V

> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.

rms

appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid any
hazards.

15. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment comply
with IEC950/EN60950.

16. Never remove the cover or part of the
housing while you are operating the
product. This will expose circuits and
components and can lead to injuries, fire or
damage to the product.

17. If a product is to be permanently installed,
the connection between the PE terminal on
site and the product's PE conductor must
be made first before any other connection
is made. The product may be installed and
connected only by a skilled electrician.

18. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply circuit
must be fused in such a way that suitable
protection is provided for users and
products.

19. Do not insert any objects into the openings
in the housing that are not designed for this
purpose. Never pour any liquids onto or into
the housing. This can cause short circuits
inside the product and/or electric shocks,
fire or injuries.

20. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product. Otherwise the operating personnel
will be endangered by electric shocks.

FSP Introduction

5 Remote Control - Basics

In this chapter you'll find:

• instructions on how to put the FSP into operation via remote control,

• a general introduction to remote control of programm able instrum ents. This inc ludes the description

of the command structure and s yntax according to the SCPI standard, the description of com mand
execution and of the status registers,

• diagrams and tables describing the status registers used in the FSP.
In chapter 6, all remote control functions are described in detail. The subsystems are listed by

alphabetical order according to SCPI. All commands and their parameters are listed by alphabetical
order in the command list at the end of chapter 6.

Program examples for the FSP can be found in chapter 7.
The remote control interfaces and their interface functions are described in Chapter 8.

Introduction

The instrument is equipped with an IEC-bus interface accor ding to standard IEC 625.1/IEEE 488.2 and
a RS-232 interface. The connectors are located at the rear of the instrument and per mit to connect a
controller for remote control. In addition, the instrument can be remotely controlled in a local area
network (LAN interface) if option B16 is installed.

The instrument supports the SCPI:version 1997.0 (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments). T he SCPI standard is based on standard IEEE 488.2 and aims at the standardization of
device-specific commands, error handling and the status registers (see Section "SCPI Introduction").
The tutorial "Automatic Measurem ent Control – A tutor ial on SCPI and IEEE 488.2" f r om John M. Pieper
(R&S order number 0002.3536.00) offers detailed inform ation on concepts and definitions of SCPI. For
remote control in a network, information will be found in the relevant section, "Remote Control in a
Network (RSIB Interface)".

This section assumes basic k nowledge of IEC/IEEE bus pr ogram m ing and operation of the controller . A
description of the interface commands can be obtained from the relevant manuals.

The requirements of the SCPI standard placed on comm and syntax, error handling and conf iguration of
the status registers are explained in detail in the following sections. Tables provide a fast overview of the
bit assignment in the status regis ters. The tables are s upplemented by a compr ehensive description of
the status registers.

The program examples for IEC-bus programming are all written in VISUAL BASIC.

1164.4556.12 5.1 E-1

Getting Started FSP

Getting Started

The short and simple operating sequence given below permits fast putting into operation of the
instrument and setting of its basic functions. As a prerequisite, the IEC/IEEE-bus address, which is
factory-set to 20, must not have been changed.

1. Connect instrument and controller using IEC/IEEE-bus cable.

2. Write and start the following program on the controller:

CALL IBFIND("DEV1", analyzer%) 'Open port to the instrument
CALL IBPAD(analyzer%, 20) 'Inform controller about instrument address
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, '*RST;*CLS') ''Reset instrument

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, 'FREQ:CENT 100MHz') ' Set center frequency to 100 MHz
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, 'FREQ:SPAN 10MHz') ' Set span to 10 MHz

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, 'DISP:TRAC:Y:RLEV -10dBm')

' Set reference level to -10 dBm

The instrument now performs a sweep in the frequency range of 95 MHz to 105 MHz .

3. To return to manual control, press the LOCAL key at the front panel

1164.4556.12 5.2 E-1

FSP Starting Remote Control Operation

Starting Remote Control Operation

On power-on, the instrument is always in the manual operating state ("LOCAL" state) and can be
operated via the front panel.
It is switched to remote control ("REMOTE" state)

IEC/IEEE-bus as soon as it receives an addressed command from a controller.

if it is controlled in a network (R SIB interface), as soon as it receives a command
from a controller.

RS-232 as soon as it receives the command "@REM" from a controller.
During remote control, operation via the f ront panel is disabled. The instrum ent remains in the remote

state until it is reset to the manual state via the f ront panel or via remote control interfac es. Switching
from manual operation to remote control and vice versa does not affect the remaining instrument
settings.

Display Contents during Remote Control

During remote control, only the LOCAL softkey appears, with which it is possible to return to manual
operation.

In addition, the display of diagrams and results can be blanked out with the command
"SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate OFF" (default in remote contr ol) to obtain optimum performance dur ing
remote control operation.

During program execution it is recommended to activate the display of results by means of
"SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate ON" so that it is possible to follow the changes in the device settings and
the recorded measurement curves on the screen.

Note: If the instrument is exclusively operated in remote contr ol, it is recommended to switch on

the power-save mode (POWER SAVE). In this mode, the required display is completely
switched off after a preset time.

1164.4556.12 5.3 E-1

Starting Remote Control Operation FSP

Remote Control via IEC/IEEE Bus

Setting the Device Address

In order to operate the instrument via the IEC-bus, it must be addressed using the s et IEC/IEEE bus
address. The IEC/IEEE bus address of the instrument is factory-set to 20. It can be changed manually in
the SETUP - GENERAL SETUP menu or via IEC bus. Addresses 0 to 30 are permissible.

Manually:

Ø Call SETUP - GENERAL SETUP menu
Ø Enter desired address in table GPIB-ADDRESS
Ø Terminate input using the ENTER key

Via IEC/IEEE bus:

CALL IBFIND("DEV1", analyzer%) 'Open port to the instrument
CALL IBPAD(analyzer%, 20) 'Inform controller about old address
CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 18") 'Set instrument to new address
CALL IBPAD(analyzer%, 18) 'Inform controller about new address

Return to Manual Operation

Return to manual operation is possible via the front panel or the IEC/IEEE bus.
Manually: Ø Press the LOCAL softkey or the PRESET key

Notes:–Before the transition, command processing must be completed

as otherwise transition to remote control is performed
immediately.

– T he keys can be disabled by the universal command LLO (see

Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface – Interface Messages) in
order to prevent unintentional transition. In this case, transition to
manual mode is only possible via the IEC/IEEE bus.

– T he keys can be enabled again by deactivating the REN line of

the IEC/IEEE bus (see Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface – Bus
Lines).

Via IEC bus: ...

FSP Starting Remote Control Operation

Remote Control via RS-232-Interface

Setting the Transmission Parameters

To enable an error-free and correct data transmission, the parameters of the unit and the controller
should have the same setting.
Parameters can be m anually changed in menu SETUP-GENERAL SETUP in table COM PORT or via

remote control using the command SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:... .

The transmission parameters of the COM interface are factory-set to the following values:
baudrate = 9600, data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, parity = NONE and owner = INSTRUMENT.
For remote control operation, the interface should be allocated to the operating system (owner = OS) s o
that the control characters including @ can be recognized by the interface.

Manually: Setting the COM interface

Ø Call SETUP-GENERAL SETUP menu
Ø Select desired baudrate, bits, stopbit, parity in table COM PORT.
Ø Set owner to OS in table COM PORT.
Ø Terminate input using the ENTER key.

Return to Manual Operation

Return to manual operation is possible via the front panel or via RS-232 interface.
Manually: Ø Press the LOCAL softkey or the PRESET key.

Notes:

– Before the transition, command processing must be completed as

otherwise transition to remote control is performed immediately

– T he keys can be enabled again by sending the control str ing "@LOC" via

RS-232 (see Chapter 8, S-232-C Interface - Control Commands).

Via RS-232: ...

v24puts(port,"@LOC"); Set instrument to manual operation..

Limitations

The following limitations apply if the unit is remote-controlled via the RS-232-C interface:

− No interface messages, only control strings (see interface description in Chapter 8, RS-232-C
Interface – Control Commands).

− Only the Common Commands *O PC? can be used for comm and synchronization, *WAI and *OPC
are not available.

− Block data cannot be transmitted.

FSP Messages

Messages

The messages tr ansferred via the data lines of the IEC bus (see Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface)
can be divided into two groups:

– interface messages and
– device messages.

IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface Messages

Interface messages are transf erred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "AT N" contr ol line being active.
They are used for communication between controller and instrument and can only be sent by a
controller which has the IEC/IEEE bus control. Interface commands can be subdivided into

– universal commands and
– addressed commands.

Universal commands act on all devices connected to the IEC/IEEE bus without previous addressing,
addressed comm ands only act on devices previously addressed as listeners. The interf ace messages
relevant to the instrument are listed in Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface – Interface Functions.

1164.4556.12 5.7 E-1

Messages FSP

Device Messages (Commands and Device Responses)

Device messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line not being
active. ASCII code is used.
A distinction is made according to the direction in which they are sent on the IEC/IEEE bus:

– Commands are messages the controller sends to the instrument. They operate the device

functions and request informations.
The commands are subdivided according to two criteria::

1. According to the effect they have on the instrument:
Setting commands cause instrument settings such as reset of the

instrument or setting the center frequency.

Queries cause data to be provided for output on the IEC/IEEE

bus, e.g. for identification of the device or polling the
marker.

2. According to their definition in standard IEEE 488.2:

Common Commands are exactly defined as to their function and

notation in standard IEEE 488.2. They refer to
functions such as m anagement of the st andar-dized
status registers, reset and selftest.

Device-specific
commands refer to functions depending on the features of the

instrument such as fr equency setting. A majority of
these commands has also been standar dized by the
SCPI committee (cf. Section "SCPI Introduction")).

– Device responses are messages the instrument sends to the controller after a query. They can

contain measurement results, instrument settings and information on the
instrument status (cf. Section "Responses to Queries").

Structure and syntax of the device messages are described in the following Section.

SCPI Introduction

SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) describes a standard command set for
programming instrum ents, irrespective of the type of instrument or manuf acturer. The goal of the SCPI
consortium is to standar dize the device-specif ic com mands to a large extent. For this purpose, a m odel
was developed which defines the same functions inside a device or for different devices. Command
systems were generated which are assigned to these func tions. T hus it is possible to addres s the sam e
functions with identical commands. The command systems are of a hierarchical structure.
Fig. 5-1 illustrates this tree str ucture using a section of comm and system SENSe, which controls the
device-specific settings, that do not refer to the signal characteristics of the measurement signal.
SCPI is based on standard IEEE 488.2, i.e. it uses the sam e syntactic basic elements as well as the
common com m ands def ined in this standard. Part of the syntax of the device responses is defined with
greater restrictions than in standard IEEE 488.2 (see Section "Responses to Queries").

Structure of a Command

The comm ands c onsist of a so-c alled header and, in m ost cases , one or m ore par am eters. Header and
parameter are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank). The
headers may consist of several key words. Queries are f o rmed by directly appending a question mark to
the header.

Note: The commands used in the following examples are not in every case implemented in the

instrument.

Common commands Common commands consist of a header preceded by an asterisk "*"

and one or several parameters, if any.
Examples: *RST RESET, resets the device

*ESE 253 EVENT STATUS ENABLE, sets the bits of

the event status enable register

*ESR? EVENT STATUS QUERY, queries the

contents of the event status register.

Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages FSP

Device-specific commands

Hierarchy: Device-specific commands are of hierarchical structure (see

Fig. 5-1). The different levels are represented by combined headers.
Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one key word. T his
key word denotes a complete command system.

Example: SENSe Th is key word denotes the command system

SENSe.

For commands of lower levels, the complete path has to be specified,
starting on the left with the highest level, the individual key words being
separated by a colon ":".

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:SPAN 10MHZ
This command lies in the third level of the SENSe system. It set the

frequency span.

SENSe

BANDwidth FUNCtion

STARt

Fig. 5-1 Tree structure the SCPI command systems using the SENSe system by way of example

Some key words occur in several levels within one command system. Their
effect depends on the struc ture of the command, that is to say, at which
position in the header of a command they are inserted.

Example: SOURce:FM:POLarity NORMal

FREQuency

STOP

This command contains key word POLarity in the third
command level. It defines the polarity between modulator and
modulation signal.

SOURce:FM:EXTernal:POLarity NORMal

This command contains key word POLarity in the fourth
command level. It defines the polarity between modulation
voltage and the resulting direction of the m odulation only for the
external signal source indicated.

1164.4556.12 5.10 E-1

FSP Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages

Optional key words: Some command systems permit certain key words to be optionally inserted

into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square
brackets in the descr iption. The full command length m ust be recognized
by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard.
Some commands are considerably shortened by these optional key words.

Example: [SENSe]:BANDwidth[:RESolution]:AUTO

This command couples the resolution bandwidth of the
instrument to other parameters. The following command has
the same effect:
BANDwidth:AUTO

Note: An optional key word must not be omitted if its effect is specified

in detail by a numeric suffix.

Long and short form: The key words feature a long form and a short form . Either the short f orm

or the long form can be entered, other abbreviations are not permissible.
Beispiel: STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle 1= STAT:QUES:ENAB 1

Note: The short form is marked by upper- case letters, the long form

corresponds to the complete word. Upper-c ase and lower-case
notation only serve the above purpose, the instrument itself
does not make any difference between upper-c ase and lower­case letters.

Parameter: The parameter must be separated from the header by a "white space". If

several parameters are specif ied in a command, they are separated by a
comma ",". A f ew queries perm it the param eter s MINim um , MAXim um and
DEFault to be entered. For a description of the types of param eter, ref er to
Section "Parameters".

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAXimum Response: 3.5E9

This query requests the maximal value for the stop frequency.

Numeric suffix: If a device features several functions or features of the same kind, e.g.

inputs, the desired function can be selec ted by a suffix added to the com­mand. Entries without suffix are interpreted like entries with the suffix 1.

Example:. SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial2:BAUD 9600

This command sets the baudrate of a second serial interface.

1164.4556.12 5.11 E-1

Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages FSP

Structure of a Command Line

A command line m ay consist of one or several com mands. It is term inated by a <New Line>, a <New
Line> with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. The IEC/IEEE driver of the controller us ually
produces automatically an EOI together with the last data byte.

Several commands in a comm and line are separated by a semicolon ";". If the next com mand belongs
to a different command system, the semicolon is followed by a colon.

Example:

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%,"SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 100MHz;:INPut:ATTenuation 10")

This comm and line contains two com mands. T he first one is part of the SENSe c omm and
system and is used to determine the center frequency of the instrum ent. The second one is
part of the INPut command system and sets the input signal attenuation.

If the successive com mands belong to the sam e system, having one or several levels in common, the
command line can be abbr eviated. For that purpose, the second command af ter the semicolon starts
with the level that lies below the common levels (s ee also Fig. 5-1). The colon f ollowing the semicolon
must be omitted in this case.

Example:

CALL IBWRT

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6;STOP 1E9")

However, a new command line always begins with the complete path.
Example: CALL IBWRT(analyzer, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6")

(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 1E6;:SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1E9")

This comm and line is represented in its f ull length and contains two comm ands separated
from each other by the semicolon. Both commands are part of the SENSe command
system, subsystem FREQuency, i.e. they have two common levels.
When abbreviating the com mand line, the second command begins with the level below
SENSe:FREQuency. The colon after the semicolon is omitted.

The abbreviated form of the command line reads as follows:

CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1E9")

Responses to Queries

A query is defined for each setting com mand unless explicitly specified otherwise. It is f or med by adding
a question mark to the associated setting c ommand. According to SCPI, the res ponses to queries are
partly subject to stricter rules than in standard IEEE 488.2.

1 The requested parameter is transmitted without header.

Example: INPut:COUPling? Response: DC

2. Maximum values, m inimum values and all fu rther quantities, which are requested via a special tex t
parameter are returned as numerical values.
Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? MAX Response: 3.5E9

3. Numerical values are output without a unit. Physical quantities are referred to the basic units or to the
units set using the Unit command.
Example: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer? Response: 1E6 for 1 MHz

4. Truth values <Boolean values> are returned as 0 (for OFF) and 1 (for ON).
Example: SENSe:BANDwidth:AUTO? Response: 1 for ON

5. Text (character data) is returned in a short form (see also Section 3.5.5).
Example: SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:CONTrol:RTS? Response(for standard): STAN

FSP Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages

Parameters

Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the
header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text,
character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the r espective command and the
permissible range of values are specified in the command description

Numerical values Numerical values can be entered in any form, i.e. with sign, decimal point and

exponent. Values exceeding the resolution of the instrument are rounded up or
down. The mantissa m ay compr ise up to 255 c har acter s , the ex ponent must lie
inside the value range -32000 to 32000. The exponent is introduced by an "E"
or "e". Entry of the exponent alone is not permissible. In the cas e of physical
quantities, the unit can be entered. Permiss ible unit prefixes are G (giga), MA
(mega), MOHM and MHZ are also permissible), K (kilo), M (m illi), U (micro)
and N (nano). It the unit is missing, the basic unit is used.

Example:

SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1.5GHz = SENSe:FREQuency:STOP 1.5E9

Special numerical The texts MINimum, MAXimum, DEFault, UP and DOWN are interpreted as

valuesspecial numerical values.
In the case of a query, the numerical value is provided.

Example: Setting command: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP MAXimum

Query: SENSe:FREQuency:STOP? Response: 3.5E9

MIN/MAX MINimum and MAXimum denote the minimum and maximum value.

DEF DEFault denotes a preset value which has been stored in the EPROM. T his

value conforms to the default setting, as it is called by the *RST command

UP/DOWN UP, DOWN increas es or reduces the numerical value by one step. The step

width can be specified via an allocated step com mand (see annex C, List of
Commands) for each parameter which can be set via UP, DOWN.

INF/NINF INFinity, Negative INFinity (NINF) Negative INFinity (NINF) represent the

numerical values -9.9E37 or 9.9E37, respectively. INF and NINF are only sent
as device reponses.

NAN Not A Number (NAN) represents the value 9.91E37. NAN is only sent as

device response. This value is not defined. Possible c auses are the division of
zero by zero, the subtraction of infinite from infinite and the repr esentation of
missing values.

Boolean Parameters Boolean parameters represent two states. The ON state (logically true) is

represented by ON or a numerical value unequal to 0. T he OF F state (logically
untrue) is represented by OFF or the numerical value 0. 0 or 1 is provided in a
query.

Example: Setting command: DISPlay:WINDow:STATe ON

Query: DISPlay:WINDow:STATe? Response: 1

1164.4556.12 5.13 E-1

Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages FSP

Text Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be

entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be
separated from the header by a white space. In the case of a query, the short
form of the text is provided.

Example: Setting command: INPut:COUPling GROund

Query: INPut:COUPling? Response GRO

Strings Strings must always be entered in quotation marks (' or ").

Example: SYSTem:LANGuage "SCPI" or

SYSTem:LANGuage 'SCPI'

Block data Block data are a transmission format which is suitable for the transmission of

large amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter has the
following structure:

Example: HEADer:HEADer #45168xxxxxxxx
ASCII character # introduces the data block. The next number indicates how

many of the following digits describe the length of the data block. In the example
the 4 following digits indicate the length to be 5168 bytes. The data bytes follow.
During the transmission of these data bytes all End or other control signs are
ignored until all bytes are transmitted.

Overview of Syntax Elements

The following survey offers an overview of the syntax elements.

The colon separates the key words of a command.

:

In a command line the colon after the separating semicolon marks the uppermost comm and
level.

The semicolon separates two comm ands of a command line. It does not alter the path.

;

The comma separates sev eral param eters of a command.

,

The question mark forms a query.

?

The asterix marks a com mon comm an d.

*

Quotation marks introduce a string and termi nate it.

"

The double dagger ( #) introduces block data

#

A "white space (ASCII-Code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g.blank) separates header and parameter.

Instrument Model and Command Processing

The instrument model shown in Fig. 5-2 has been made viewed f rom the standpoint of the s ervicing of

Input Unit

The input unit receives com mands character by character from the IEC bus and collects them in the
input buffer. The input unit sends a message to the command recognition as s oon as the input buf f er is
full or as soon as it rece ives a delimiter, <PROGRAM MESSAGE T ERMINATOR>, as defined in IEEE

488.2, or the interface message DCL.

If the input buffer is full, the IEC-bus traf fic is stopped and the data rec eived up to then are processed.
Subsequently the IEC-bus traffic is continued. If, however, the buf fer is not yet full when receiving the
delimiter, the input unit can already receive the next command during command recognition and
execution. The receipt of a DCL clears the input buffer and immediately initiates a message to the
command recognition.

1164.4556.12 5.15 E-1

Status Reporting System FSP

Command Recognition

The comm and recognition analyses the data received from the input unit. It proceeds in the order in
which it receives the data. Only a DCL is serviced with priority, a GET (Group Execute T rigger), e.g., is
only executed after the comm ands received before as well. Eac h recognized comm and is im mediately
transferred to the instrument data base but without being executed there at once.
Syntactical errors in the command are recognized in the command recognition and supplied to the
status reporting system. The res t of a comm and line after a syntax error is analysed further if poss ible
and serviced.
If the command recognition recognizes a delimiter (<PROGRAM MESSAGE SEPARATOR> or
<PROGRAM MESSAGE TERMINATOR>) or a DCL, it requests the instrument data bas e to set the
commands in the ins trum ent hardware as well now. Subsequently it is imm ediately prepared to process
commands again. This means for the command servicing that further commands can already be
serviced while the hardware is still being set ("overlapping execution").

Instrument Data Base and Instrument Hardware

Here the expression "instrument hardware" denotes the part of the instrument fulfilling the actual
instrument function - signal generation, measurement etc. The controller is not included.

The instrument data base is a detailed reproduction of the instrument hardware in the software.
IEC-bus setting comm ands lead to an alteration in the data set. The data base managem ent enters the

new values (e.g. frequency) into the data base, however, only passes them on to the hardware when
requested by the command recognition.

The data are only checked for their c ompatibility among each other and with the instrum ent hardware
immediately before they are transmitted to the instrument hardware. If the detection is made that an
execution is not possible, an "execution error" is signalled to the status reporting system. The alter ation
of the data base are cancelled, the instrument hardware is not reset.

IEC-bus queries induce the data base management to send the desired data to the output unit.

Status Reporting System

The status reporting system c ollects information on the instrum ent state and makes it available to the
output unit on request. The exact structure and function are described in Section 3.8

1164.4556.12 5.16 E-1

FSP Status Reporting System

Output Unit

The output unit collects the information requested by the controller, which it receives f rom the data bas e
management. It processes it according to the SCPI rules and makes it available in the output buffer.
If the instrument is address ed as a talk er without the output buff er containing data or awaiting data from
the data base management, the output unit sends error message "Query UNTERMINATED" to the
status reporting system. No data are sent on the IEC bus, the controller waits until it has reac hed its
time limit. This behaviour is specified by SCPI.

Command Sequence and Command Synchronization

What has been said above makes clear that all commands can potentially be carried out overlapping.
In order to prevent an overlapping execution of comm ands, one of commands *OPC, *OPC? or *WAI

must be used. All three commands cause a cer tain action only to be carried out after the hardware has
been set and has settled. By a suitable programming, the controller can be forced to wait for the
respective action to occur (cf. Table 5-1).

Table 5-1 Synchronisation using *OPC, *OPC? and *WAI

Command Action after the hardware has settled Programming the controller

*OPC Setting the opteration-complete bit in the ESR - Setting bit 0 in the ESE

*OPC? Writing a " 1" i nto the output buffer Addressing the instrument as a tal ker
*WAI Conti nui ng the IEC-bus handshake Sending the next command

- Setting bit 5 in the SRE

- Waiting for service request (SRQ)

An example as to command synchronization can be found in Chapter "Program Examples".
For a couple of comm ands the s ynchronization to the end of comm and execution is m andatory in order

to obtain the desired result. The affected commands require either more than one measurement in
order to accomplish the desired instrument setting (eg autorange functions), or they require a longer
period of time for execution. If a new command is received during execution of the corresponding
function this may either lead to either to an aborted measurement or to invalid measurement data.

The following list includes the commands, for which a synchronization via *OPC, *OPC? or *W AI is
mandatory:

Status Reporting System FSP

Status Reporting System

The status reporting system ( cf. Fig. 5-4) stores all information on the present operating state of the
instrument, e.g. that the instrument presently carries out a calibration and on errors which have
occurred. This inf ormation is stored in the status registers and in the error queue. T he status registers
and the error queue can be queried via IEC bus.

The information is of a hierarchic al structure. T he register status byte (STB) defined in IEEE 488.2 and
its associated mask regist er service r equest enable (SRE) for m the upper mos t level. The STB receives
its information f rom the standard event status register ( ESR) which is also defined in IEEE 488.2 with
the associated mask register standar d event status enable ( ESE) and r egis ters STATus:OPERation and
STATus:QUEStionable which are defined by SCPI and contain detailed information on the instrument.

The IST flag ("Individual ST atus") and the parallel poll enable regis ter (PPE) alloc ated to it are also part
of the status reporting system. T he IST flag, like the SRQ, com bines the entire instrument status in a
single bit. The PPE fulfills the same function for the IST flag as the SRE for the service request.

The output buffer contains the messages the instrum ent returns to the controller. It is not part of the
status reporting system but determines the value of the MAV bit in the STB and thus is represented in
Fig. 5-4.

Structure of an SCPI Status Register

Each SCPI register consists of 5 parts which each have a width of 16 bits and have different func tions
(cf. Fig. 5-3). The individual bits are independent of each other, i.e. each hardware status is assigned a
bit number which is valid for all five parts. For example, bit 3 of the STATus:OPERation register is
assigned to the hardware status "wait for trigger" in all f ive parts . Bit 15 ( the most significant bit) is s et to
zero for all parts. Thus the contents of the register parts can be processed by the controller as pos itive
integer.

FSP Status Reporting System

CONDition part The CONDition part is directly written into by the hardware or the sum bit of

the next lower register. Its contents reflects the current ins trum ent status . T his
register part can only be read, but not written into or cleared. Its contents is
not affected by reading.

PTRansition part The Positive-TRansition part acts as an edge detector. When a bit of the

CONDition part is changed from 0 to 1, the associated PTR bit decides
whether the EVENt bit is set to 1.
PTR bit =1: the EVENt bit is set.
PTR bit =0: the EVENt bit is not set.
This part can be written into and read at will. Its contents is not af fected by
reading.

NTRansition part The Negative-TRansition part also acts as an edge detec tor . When a bit of the

CONDition part is changed from 1 to 0, the associated NTR bit decides
whether the EVENt bit is set to 1.
NTR-Bit = 1: the EVENt bit is set.
NTR-Bit = 0: the EVENt bit is not set.
This part can be written into and read at will. Its contents is not af fected by
reading.

With these two edge register parts the user can define which state transition of
the condition part (none, 0 to 1, 1 to 0 or both) is stored in the EVENt part.

EVENt part The EVENt part indicates whether an event has occurred since the last

reading, it is the "memory" of the condition part. It only indicates events
passed on by the edge filters. It is permanently updated by the instrument.
This part can only be read by the user. During reading, its contents is set to
zero. In linguistic usage this part is often equated with the entire register.

ENABle part The ENABle part determines whether the associated EVENt bit contr ibutes to

the sum bit (cf. below). Each bit of the EVENt part is ANDed with the
associated ENABle bit (symbol '&'). The r esults of all logic al operations of this
part are passed on to the sum bit via an OR function (symbol '+').
ENABle-Bit = 0: the associated EVENt bit does not contribute to the sum bit
ENABle-Bit = 1: if the associated EVENT bit is "1", the sum bit is set to "1" as

well.
This part can be written into and read by the user at will. Its contents is not
affected by reading.

Sum bit As indicated above, the sum bit is obtained f rom the EVENt and ENABle part

for each register. The r esult is then entered into a bit of the CONDition part of
the higher-order register.
The instrument autom atic ally generates the sum bit f or each register . T hus an
event, e.g. a PLL that has not locked, can lead to a service request throughout
all levels of the hierarchy.

Note: The service r equest enable register SRE defined in IEEE 488.2 can be taken as ENABle

part of the STB if the STB is structured according to SCPI. By analogy, the ESE can be
taken as the ENABle part of the ESR.

FSP Status Reporting System

Description of the Status Registers

Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE)

The STB is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It provides a rough overview of the instrument status by
collecting the pieces of inform ation of the lower registers. It can thus be com pared with the CONDition
part of an SCPI register and assum es the highest level within the SCPI hierarchy. A special f eature is
that bit 6 acts as the sum bit of the remaining bits of the status byte.
The STATUS BYTE is read out using the command "*STB?" or a serial poll.

The STB implies the SRE. It corresponds to the ENABle part of the SCPI registers as to its function.
Each bit of the STB is assigned a bit in the SRE. Bit 6 of the SRE is ignored. If a bit is set in the SRE
and the associated bit in the STB changes f rom 0 to 1, a Service Request (SRQ) is generated on the
IEC bus, which triggers an interrupt in the controller if this is appropriately configured and c an be f urther
processed there.
The SRE can be set using command "*SRE" and read using "*SRE?".

Table 5-2 Meaning of the bits in the status byte

Bit No. Meaning

2

6

Error Queue not empty

The bit is set when an entry is m ade i n the error queue.
If this bit is enabl ed by the SRE, each entry of the error queue generates a S ervi ce Request. Thus an error can
be recognized and specified in greater detail by polling the error queue. The poll provides an informative error
message. This proc edure i s to be recommended since i t considerably reduces the problem s involved with IEC­bus control.

QUEStionable status sum bit

The bit is set if an EVENt bit is set in the QUEStionable: status register and the associated ENABle bit is set
to 1.
A set bit indicates a questionable instrument status, which can be s pecified in greater detail by polling the
QUEStionable status regi ster.

MAV bit (message available)

The bit is set if a message is available in the output buffer which can be read.
This bit can be used to enable data to be automatically read from t he i nstrument to the controll er (cf. Chapter 7,
program examples).

ESB bit

Sum bit of the event s tatus register. It is set if one of the bits in the event status register is set and enabl ed in
the event status enable regis ter.
Setting of this bit i mplies an error or an event which can be specif i ed i n greater detail by polling the event status
register.

MSS bit (master status summary bit )

The bit is set if the i nstrument triggers a service request. This is the case i f one of the other bits of this regis ters
is set together with its mask bit in the servic e request enable register SRE.

7

OPERation status register sum bit

The bit is set if an EVENt bit is set in the OPERation-Stat us register and the associated ENABle bit is set to 1.
A set bit indicates that the instrument is j ust performing an action. The type of action can be determined by
polling the OPERation-stat us register.

1164.4556.12 5.21 E-1

Status Reporting System FSP

IST Flag and Parallel Poll Enable Register (PPE)

By analogy with the SRQ, the IST flag combines the entire status information in a single bit. It can be
queried by means of a parallel poll (cf. Section 3.8.4.3) or using command "*IST?".

The parallel poll enable register (PPE) deter mines which bits of the STB contribute to the IST f lag. The
bits of the STB are ANDed with the corresponding bits of the PPE, with bit 6 being used as well in
contrast to the SRE. The Ist flag results from the ORing of all results. The PPE can be set using
commands "*PRE" and read using command "*PRE?".

Event-Status Register (ESR) and Event-Status-Enable Register (ESE)

The ESR is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It can be compared with the EVENt part of an SCPI r egister.
The event status register can be read out using command "*ESR?".
The ESE is the associated ENABle part. It can be s et us ing c ommand "*ESE" and r ead using command
"*ESE?".

Query Error

This bit is set if ei ther the controller wants to read data from the instrument without having send a query, or if it
does not fetch requested data and sends new instructions to the ins trument instead. The cause i s often a query
which is faulty and hence cannot be executed.

Device-dependent Error

This bit is set if a devi ce-dependent error occurs. An error mes sage with a number between -300 and -399 or a
positive error number, which denotes t he error i n greater detail, is entered into the error queue (c f. Chapter 9,
Error Messages).

Execution Error

This bit is set if a received command is syntactically correct, however, cannot be perf ormed for other reasons.
An error message with a number bet ween -200 and -300, which denotes the error in greater detail, is entered
into the error queue (cf. Chapter 9, E rror Mes sages).

Command Error

This bit is set if a command which is undefined or syntactically incorrect is received. An error message with a
number between -100 and -200, which denotes the error in greater detail, is entered into the error queue (cf.
Chapter 9 "Error Messages").

FSP Status Reporting System

Application of the Status Reporting Systems

In order to be able to effectively use the status reporting s ystem, the information contained there mus t
be transmitted to the controller and further processed there. There are several methods which are
represented in the following. Detailed program examples are to be found in chapter 7, Program
Examples.

Service Request, Making Use of the Hierarchy Structure

Under certain circums tanc es , the instr ument can send a service request (SRQ) to the contr oller . Usually
this service request initiates an interrupt at the c ontroller, to which the control program can react with
corresponding actions. As evident from Fig. 5-4, an SRQ is always initiated if one or sever al of bits 2, 3,
4, 5 or 7 of the status byte are set and enabled in the SRE. Each of these bits combines the inform ation
of a further register, the error queue or the output buffer. The cor responding s etting of the ENABle parts
of the status registers c an achieve that arbitrary bits in an arbitrary status register initiate an SRQ. In
order to make use of the possibilities of the service request, all bits should be set to "1" in enable
registers SRE and ESE.

Examples (cf. Fig. 5-4 and chapter 7, Program Examples, as well):
Use of command "*OPC" to generate an SRQ at the end of a sweep.

Ø CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "*ESE 1")Set bit 0 in the ESE (Operation Complete)
Ø CALL IBWRT(analyzer%, "*SRE 32")Set bit 5 in the SRE (ESB)?

After its settings have been completed, the instrument generates an SRQ.

The SRQ is the only possibility for the instrument to bec ome active on its own. Eac h controller program
should set the instrument in a way that a service request is initiated in the case of malfunction. The
program should react appropriately to the service request. A detailed example for a service request
routine is to be found in chapter 7, Program Examples.

Serial Poll

In a serial poll, just as with comm and "*STB", the status byte of an instrument is queried. However, the
query is realized via interface messages and is thus c learly faster. The serial-poll method has already
been defined in IEEE 488.1 and used to be the only standard possibility for different instr uments to poll
the status byte. The method also works with instruments which do not adhere to SCPI or IEEE 488.2.

The VISUAL BASIC command for executing a serial poll is "IBRSP()". Serial poll is mainly used to
obtain a fast overview of the state of several instruments connected to the IEC bus.

1164.4556.12 5.31 E-1

Status Reporting System FSP

Parallel Poll

In a parallel poll, up to eight instruments are s imultaneously requested by the controller by means of a
single command to transmit 1 bit of inf orm ation eac h on the data lines, i.e., to set the data line alloc ated
to each instrument to logically "0" or "1". By analogy to the SRE register which determ ines under which
conditions an SRQ is generated, there is a parallel poll enable register (PPE) whic h is ANDed with the
STB bit by bit as well considering bit 6. The results are ORed, the res ult is then sent ( possibly inverted)
as a response in the parallel poll of the controller. The result can also be queried without parallel poll by
means of command "*IST".

The instrument first has to be set for the parallel poll using quick-BASIC command "IBPPC()". This
command allocates a data line to the ins tr ument and determines whether the response is to be inver ted.
The parallel poll itself is executed using "IBRPP()".

The parallel-poll method is mainly used in order to quickly find out after an SRQ which instrum ent has
sent the service request if there are many instrum ents connected to the IEC bus. To this effect, SRE
and PPE must be set to the same value. A detailed example as to the parallel poll is to be found in
chapter 7, Program Examples.

Query by Means of Commands

Each part of every status register can be read by means of queries. The individual commands are
indicated in the detailed description of the registers in Section 3.8.3. What is returned is always a
number which represents the bit pattern of the regis ter queried. Evaluating this number is effected by
the controller program.

Queries are usually used after an SRQ in order to obtain more detailed inform ation on the cause of the
SRQ.

Error-Queue Query

Each error state in the instrum ent leads to an entry in the error queue. The entries of the error queue
are detailed plain-text error messages which can be looked at in the ERROR m enu via manual control
or queried via the IEC bus using command "SYSTem:ERRor?". Each call of "SYSTem:ERRor?"
provides an entry from the error queue. If no error m essages are stored ther e any more, the instrum ent
responds with 0, "No error".

The error queue should be queried after every SRQ in the controller program as the entr ies des c ribe the
cause of an error mor e precisely than the status registers. Especially in the test phase of a controller
program the error queue should be quer ied regularly since faulty commands from the c ontroller to the
instrument are recorded there as well.

Notation FSP

6 Remote Control - Description of Comman ds

Notation

In the following sections, all commands implem ented in the instrument are f irst listed in tables and then
described in detail, arranged according to the com mand subsystems. The notation is adapted to the
SCPI standard. The SCPI conformity information is included in the individual description of the
commands.

Table of Commands

Command: In the command column, the table provides an overview of the c omm ands

and their hierarchical arrangement (see indentations).

Parameter: The parameter column indicates the requested parameters together with

their specified range.

Unit: The unit column indicates the basic unit of the physical parameters.

Comment: In the comment column an indication is made on:

– whether the command does not have a query form,
– whether the command has only one query form
– whether the c ommand is im plemented only with a certain option of the

instrument
Indentations The different levels of the SCPI comm and hierarchy are represented in the

table by means of indentations to the right. The lower the level, the further
the indentation to the right. Please note that the complete notation of the
command always includes the higher levels as well.

Example: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer is represented in the table as

follows:

SENSe first level

:FREQuency second level

:CENTer third level

Individual description The individual description contains the complete notation of the comm and. An

example for each command, the *RST value and the SCPI information are
included as well.
The operating modes for which a c ommand can be used are indic ated by
the following abbreviations:

A Spectrum analysis
A-F Spectrum analysis - frequency domain only
A-Z Spectrum analysis - time domain only (zero span)
GSM/EDGE GSM mobile station analysis (option FS-K5)
FM FM demodulator (option FS-K7)
3G FDD WCDMA 3G FDD BTS and UE (option FS-K72 and K73)
3G FDD BTS WCDMA 3G FDD BTS (option FS-K72)
3G FDD UE WCDMA 3G FDD UE (option FS-K73)
BT BLUETOOTH Analyzer (option FS-K8)
cdma2000 BTS cdma2000 BTS (option FS-K82)
cdma2000 BTS cdma2000 BTS (option FS-K82)
1xEV-DO BTS 1xEV-DO BTS (option FS-K84)

Note: The spectrum analysis (analyzer) mode is implemented in the basic

unit. For the other modes, the corresponding options are required.

1164.4556.12 6.1-1 E-1

FSP Notation

Upper/lower case notation Upper/lower case letters are used to m ark the long or s hort f orm of the k ey

words of a command in the description (see Chapter 5). The instrument
itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters.

Special characters | A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several

commands. These keywords are indicated in the same line; they are
separated by a vertical stroke. Only one of these keywords needs to be
included in the header of the command. The effect of the command is
independent of which of the keywords is used.

Example:SENSe:FREQuency:CW|:FIXed

The two following commands with identical meaning can be
created. They set the frequency of the fixed frequency signal to 1

kHz:
SENSe:FREQuency:CW 1E3 = SENSe:FREQuency:FIXed 1E3
A vertical stroke in param eter indications marks alternative pos sibilities in

the sense of "or". The effect of the command is different, depending on
which parameter is used.

Example:Selection of the parameters for the command

DISPlay:FORMat FULL | SPLit

If parameter FULL is selected, full screen is displayed, in the

case of SPLit, split screen is displayed.

[ ] Key words in square brackets can be omitted when com posing the header

(cf. Chapter 5, Optional Keywords). The full command length must be
accepted by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI
standards.
Parameters in square brackets can be incorporated optionally in the
command or omitted as well.

{ } Parameters in braces can be incorporated optionally in the command,

either not at all, once or several times.

Description of parameters Due to the standardization, the parameter section of SCPI commands

consists always of the same syntactical elements. SCPI has therefore
specified a series of definitions, which are used in the tables of com mands.
In the tables, these established definitions are indic ated in angled brac kets
(<...>) and will be briefly explained in the following (see also Chapter 5,
Section "Parameters").

<Boolean> This keyword refers to parameters which can adopt two states, "on" and

"off". The "off " state may either be indicated by the keyword OFF or by the
numeric value 0, the "on" state is indicated by ON or any numeric value
other than zero. Parameter queries are always returned the num eric value
0 or 1.

1164.4556.12 6.1-2 E-1

Notation FSP

<numeric_value>
<num> These keywords mark parameters which may be entered as numeric

values or be set using specific keywords (character data).
The following keywords given below are permitted:
MINimum This keyword sets the parameter to the smallest possible

value.
MAXimum This keyword sets the parameter to the largest possible value.
DEFault This keyword is used to reset the parameter to its default

value.
UP This keyword increments the parameter value.
DOWN This keyword decrements the parameter value.
The numeric values associated to MAXimum/MINimum/DEFault can be

queried by adding the corresponding keywords to the command. They
must be entered following the quotation mark.

Example:SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer? MAXimum
returns the maximum possible numeric value of the center frequency as

result.

<arbitrary block program data>

This keyword is provided for commands the param eter s of which consist of
a binary data block.

*PSC = 0 causes the contents of the status register s to be preserved. Thus a s ervice request can be

generated when switching on the instrument, if the status registers ESE and SRE are suitably
configured.

=

*PSC
The query form *PSC? reads out the contents of the power-on-status-clear flag. The response can be 0 or 1.

*RST

RESET sets the instrument to a defined default status. The command essentially corresponds to

pressing the PRESET key. The default setting is indicated in the description of the commands.

*SRE 0 to 255

SERVICE REQUEST ENABLE sets the service request enable regis ter to the indicated value. Bit 6

(MSS mask bit) remains 0. This com mand determines ander which c onditions a service request is
generated. The query form *SRE? reads the contents of the service request enable register in
decimal form. Bit 6 is always 0.

*STB?

READ STATUS BYTE QUERY reads out the contents of the status byte in decimal form.

0 'Resets the registers.

*TRG

TRIGGER initiates all actions in the currently active test screen expecting a trigger event. This

command corresponds to

*TST?

SELF TEST QUERY initiates the selftest of the instrument and outputs an error code in dec imal form

(0 = no error).

*WAI

WAIT-to-CONTINUE permits servicing of subsequent com m ands only after all preceding c om m ands

have been executed and all signals have settled (cf. Chapter 5 and "*OPC" as well).

CALCulate Subsystem

The CALCulate subsystem contains commands for converting instrument data, transforming and
carrying out corrections. These functions are carr ied out subs equent to data acquis tion, i.e. f ollowing the
SENSe subsystem.

The numeric suffix is used in CALCulate to make the distinction between the two measurement
windows SCREEN A and SCREEN B:

CALCulate1 = Screen A
CALCulate2 = Screen B.

For commands without suffix, screen A is selected automatically.
Full Screen The settings are valid for the measurement window selected with the numeric

suffix. They become effective as s oon as the corresponding m easurem ent window
has been selected as active measurement window using the command
DISPLay[:WINDow<1|2>]:SELect. Triggering measurements and querying
measured values is possible only in the active measurement window.

Split Screen The settings are valid for the measurement window selected by means of the

numeric suffix and become effective immediately.

Notes: All GSM measurements are performed in sc reen A. Therefore, commands car rying

a numerical suffix selecting the screen should start either with the numerical
suffix 1 (i.e. CALCulate1) or without a numerical suffix (i.e. CALCulate).

CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>[:STATe] ON | OFF

This command switches on and off the delta marker when delta marker 1 is selected. The
corresponding marker becomes the delta marker when delta marker 2 to 4 is selected. If the
corresponding marker is not activated, it will be activated and positioned on the maximum of the
measurement curve.
If no numeric suffix is indicated, delta marker 1 is selected automatically.

CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:Y?

This command queries the measured value of the selected delta marker in the indicated
measurement window. The corresponding delta marker will be activated, if necessary. The output is
always a relative value referred to marker 1 or to the reference position (reference fixed active).

To obtain a valid query result, a complete sweep with synchronization to the sweep end must be
performed between the activation of the delta marker and the query of the y value. This is only
possible in single sweep mode.

Depending on the unit defined with CALC:UNIT or on the activated measuring functions, the query
result is output in the units below:

• DBM | DBPW | DBUV | DBMV | DBUA: Output unit DB

• WATT | VOLT | AMPere: Output unit W | V | A

• Statistics function (APD or CCDF) on: Dimensionless output

CALCulate:FEED Subsystem

The CALCulate:FEED subsystem selects the type of evaluation of the measured data. This corres ponds
to the selection of the Result Display in manual mode.
If the FM demodulator is active, the selection of the type of evaluation is independent of the
measurement window. Therefore, the numeric suffix <1|2> is irrelevant and ignored.

Command Parameter Unit Comment

CALCulate<1|2>

:FEED <string> no query

CALCulate<1|2>:FEED <string>

This command selects the measured data that are to be displayed.

Note: The WCDMA/cdma2000/1xEV-DO code domain power measurements (option R&S

FS-K72/K73, FS-K82 and FS-K84) are always displayed in split screen and the
assignment between the display mode and the measurement window is fixed. For
this reason, the numeric suffix which is required or permitted ander CALCulate is
given in brackets for each display mode in this operating mode.
To activate the overview for R&S FS-K84 code domain power and code domain error
power, use the CDP:OVER ON command. If a different evaluation is activated (e.g.
channel assignment table), the overview mode will be quit and the evaluation used
last will be restored in the other screen.

CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem

The CALCulate:LIMit subsystem consists of the limit lines and the corresponding limit checks. Limit lines
can be defined as upper or lower lim it lines. The individual Y values of the lim it lines correspond to the
values of the X axis (CONTrol). The number of X and Y values must be identical.

8 limit lines can be active at the same time (m arked by LIMIT1 to LIMIT8) in s creen A and/or scr een B.
The measurement windows is selected via CALCulate 1 (screen A) or 2 (screen B).

The limit check can be switched on separately for each measur ement screen and limit line. W INDow1
corresponds to screen A, WINDow2 to screen B.

Each limit line can be assigned a name (m ax. 8 letters) ander which the line is stor ed in the instrum ent.
An explanatory comment can also be given for each line (max. 40 characters).

Example (analyzer mode):

Definition and use of a new limit line 5 for trace 2 in scr een A and trace 1 in s creen B with the f ollowing
features:

• upper limit line

• absolute X axis in the frequency domain

• 5 ref. values: 126 MHz/-40 dB, 127 MHz/-40 dB, 128 MHz/-20 dB, 129 MHz/-40 dB,

130 MHz/-40 dB

• relative Y axis with unit dB

• absolute threshold value at -35 dBm

• no safety margin

Definition of the line:

1. Defining the name: CALC:LIM5:NAME 'TEST1'

2. Entering the comment: CALC:LIM5:COMM 'Upper limit line'

3. Associated trace in screen A: CALC1:LIM5:TRAC 2

4. Associated trace in screen B: CALC2:LIM5:TRAC 1

5. Defining the X axis range: CALC:LIM5:CONT:DOM FREQ

6. Defining the X axis scaling: CALC:LIM5:CONT:MODE ABS

7. Defining the Y axis unit: CALC:LIM5:UNIT DB

8. Defining the Y axis scaling: CALC:LIM5:UPP:MODE REL

9. Defining the X axis values: CALC:LIM5:CONT 126MHZ, 127MHZ, 128MHZ,

129 MHZ, 130MHZ

10. Defining the y values: CALC:LIM5:UPP -40, -40, -30, -40, -40

11. Defining the y threshold value: CALC:LIM5:UPP:THR -35DBM
The definition of the saf ety margin and shifting in X and/or Y direction can tak e place as f rom her e (see

CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem FSP

CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ALTernate<1|2>:RESult?

This command queries the result of the limit check for the first/second alternate adjacent channel in
the selected measurement window for adjacent channel power measurements.

The numeric suffix after ALTernate<1|2> denotes the first or the second alternate channel. The
numeric suffixes <1 to 8> are irrelevant for this command.

If the power measurement of the adjacent channel is switched off, the command produces a query
error.

Parameter: The result is returned in the form <result>, <result> where

<result> = PASSED | FAILED and where the first (second) returned value

denotes the lower (upper) alternate adjacent channel.
Example: "CALC:LIM:ACP:ALT2 30DB, 30DB"

'Sets the relative limit value in screen A for the
'power in the lower and upper second alternate
'adjacent channel to 30 dB below the channel
'power.

"CALC:LIM:ACP:ALT2:ABS -35DBM, -35DBM"

'Sets the absolute limit value in screen A for the
'power in the lower and upper second alternate
'adjacent channel to -35 dBm.

"CALC:LIM:ACP ON" 'Switches on globally the limit check for the

'channel/adjacent channel measurement in

"CALC:LIM:ACP:ALT:STAT ON"

'Switches on the limit check for the adjacent
'channels in screen A.

"INIT;*WAI" 'Starts a new measurement and waits for the

'sweep end.

"CALC:LIM:ACP:ALT:RES?" 'Queries the limit check result in the second

'alternate adjacent channels in screen A.

Characteristics: *RST value: --

SCPI: device-specific
Mode: A
This command is a query and therefore has no *RST value.
