Getting Started
Getting Start
Most of the commands documented in this manual correspond directly to setup and measurement functions in the Power
Meter and Pulse Profiling applications. Explanations of setup and measurement techniques are provided in the PSM3000,
PSM4000, and PSM5000 Series RF and Microwave Power Sensors/Meters User Manual. Commands that correspond to
the Power Meter application begin with the prefix "LB". Commands that correspond to the Pulse Profiling application
begin with the prefix "PP".
The programmatic interface for these instruments consists of a dynamic link library (DLL). The name of the DLL is
LB_API2.DLL. This library uses the WinAPI or "_stdcall" calling convention. The DLL is located in the Tektronix application
directory. The name of the default application directory is "C:\Program Files\Tektronix\Tektronix Power Sensor Applications".
Included in the installation are the following files, which will help you become familiar with the available function calls. These
files can be found in "C:\Program Files\Tektronix\Tektronix Power Sensor Applications\Sample C ode":
C# Pulse Profiling sample code
C# Power Meter sample code
VB Power Meter sample code
C# High Speed Logger sample code
Driver Installation Files
Three test harness programs are also included in the sample code installation. These executable programs are designed
to exercise instrument functions and generate code that demonstrates correct syntax for commands. They can be found
in subdirectories within the Sample Code directory. The different versions support different programming languages and
instrument applications:

Getting Started
Commands Common to all Models
Some commands only apply to certain instrument models and their corresponding measurement capabilities. Other
commands, called common commands, apply to all instrument models. These commands all begin with the prefix “LB”.
This common command group includes commands to:
Detect, identify, and address an instrument
Initialize an instrument
Manage communications and exceptions with an instru
Set the center frequency
Perform average power measurements
Configure and perform pass/fail limit testing on continuous wave (CW) power
Set averaging parameters
Set trigger conditions
Configure offsets and relative measurements
Save and recall setups
Pulse Measurements
The PSM4000 and PSM5000 Series instruments can measure power contained within pulses. These measurements include
average pulse power, peak pulse power, crest factor, duty cycle, and average continuous wave (CW) power. Commands
related to these measurement types begin with the prefix “LB”.
These instrument models support additional commands to:
Set the criteria for distinguishing pulses
Perform average pulse power, pulse power, crest factor, and duty cycle
ment
Configure and perform pass/fail limit testing on pulse power
Pulse Profiling
The PSM5000 Series instruments can perform pulse profiling measurements. Commands related to these measurement
types begin with the prefix “PP”, and are used to:
Configure and manage pulse profile triggers
Perform gated measurements of pulse characteristics
Manipulate markers and read back measurements
Set filters
Transfer the trace to the computer
Perform power measurements on the trace
Perform pulse measurements like rise/fall time, overshoot and droop

Addressing and Communicating with Sensors
You can use an instrument identifier and a series of function commands to establish a connection with the correct instrument.
Function commands are provided for the following tasks:
Collect all instrument identification information, including index, serial number, and address
Obtain the address via serial number or index
Set/change the address using the index, serial number, or current address
Retrieve the serial number using the index or address
Retrieve the index using the serial number or address
Blink the LED on a specific instrument
Determine if an address conflict exists
Determine if changing an address will cause an address conflict
Identify the Instrument
Getting Started
You must fi
rst identify the instrument before you can use the function commands. You can do this in one of the following ways:
Address. A user-set identifier stored in the instrument's memory. The user has complete control over the address, and
can assign any legitimate address (1-255) to any instrument.
Using the address is the recommended way to identify an instrument, because this eliminates the need to change the
programming code if the original instrument is being replaced. More importantly, almost all commands require the
instrument’s address, including getting, setting measurement attributes and making measurements (over 80 of them). The
address is stored in non-volatile memory, so it is not lost when the instrument is disconnected or the system is powered
down. Note that address conflicts may arise during the process of reassigning instrument addresses.
Serial Number. This number is permanent and determined by the factory. It is stamped into the back of the instrument.
The address or index can be retrieved using the serial number. You can also use the serial number to change the address
use the LED to blink.
and ca
Index. A temporary logical descriptor determined by the system driver when the instrument is connected.
This is an arbitrary number that is assigned by order of identification. The index of the first instrument detected by the system
is 1. The index of the second instrument is 2 and so on. Typically, the index is less useful than the address and serial number.
The index is most useful when coupled with the function call LB_SensorCnt. For instance, when LB_SensorCnt is called, if
the instrument count is three, the first instrument discovered will have an index of 1; the second instrument will have an
index of 2; and the third instrument will have an index of 3.

Getting Started
Set the Instrument Address
Next, you’ll need to set the instrument address:
1. Open the Power Meter application, which should be visible in the Tektronix menu (Start > Tektronix > Power Meter
2. After the Power Meter application opens, select the "Set Address" command found under the Utility menu tab. A window

will open that lists the steps to follow in order to change the instrument address as shown below.
shut down.
4. Disconnect and reconnect the instrument.
5. Wait for the operating system to find the new hardware.
6. Restart the Power Meter application.
7. Confirm that the instrument address shown at the top of the Power Meter window is the correct address.
8. Close the Power Meter application.

Make a CW Measurement
When creating an application for making a simple continuous wave (CW) measurement, a similar approach is taken whether
you are using VB 6.0, VB .Net, or C#. The VB .NET and C# examples in this section were created using Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005. Thfor taking a measurementis code assumes that a single instrument has been connected to the computer and
has proven functional. If an earlier version of Visual Studio.NET is being used, the VB.NET and C# code may need minor
modification, as a direct copy and paste may not work.
NOTE. Before performing the following procedures, make sure you have installed the Sample Code application on
your PC and that the instrument and PC are communicating properly. For installation and functional check procedures,
see the Installation and Safety Instructions that shipped with your instrument. You can also download the manual from
www.tektronix.com.manuals.
1. Start the code by creating a default Windows application.
2. Place three buttons and one label on the window or form.
3. Name the buttons as follows:
cmdGetAddress: Clicking this button uses the "LB_GetAddress_Idx" command. The name of this command can
be interpreted as "get the address using the index." In this case, the first instrument is used, or the instrument
with an index of 1.
Getting Started
cmdInitialize: Clicking this button uses the "LB_InitializeSensor_Addr" command. The name of this command can
be interpreted as "initialize the instrument using the address". Initialization causes the calibration constants and other
information for the instrument to be transferred to the PC.
cmdMeasure: Clicking this button uses the "LB_CWMeasure" command. The name of this command can be
interpreted as “make a measurement”. The result of the m easurement is converted to text and placed in the label.
This command requires the address acquired in the first button click. It also requires that the instrument be initialized,
as done in the second button click. In this API, most commands are designed for use with the address.
4. Name the label lblCW. The result of the measurement taken when the cmdMeasure command is used is converted to
text and placed in this label.
5. Copy the appropriate portions of code from the following pages.
6. Compile the application you have just coded. The window may look similar to the one shown here.

“Long” in VB 6.0 is equivalent to an “Integer” in VB.NET and “int” in C#.
The default ByRef/ByVal are switched when going from VB 6.0 to VB.NET and C#. We have taken the approach of
explicitly including the ByRef/ByVal declarations in all code. We highly recommend this practice.
Structures in VB 6.0 allowed the embedding of fixed arrays. This is/was commonly used for transferring complex
data types. The exact capability has not been duplicated in VB.NET and C#. VB.NET does have the following type
of declaration, which can be used inside a structure. However, it seems able to be passed via a_stdcall for simple
structures only.
