HP ESA-E Series Programmer's Manual page 293

About this Guide
The purpose of this document is to help programmers convert HP 8590-Series analyzer code into SCPI
code that applies to the HP ESA spectrum analyzers.
The table in the main part of this guide consists of three columns (see the next several pages). Column 1
contains the HP 8590-Series commands that may be present in your program. Column 2 is the
corresponding SCPI command, and column 3 describes the function of the command, along with helpful
comments.
The Appendix contains a table that lists alternate commands used by the HP 8566A/B, HP 8568A/B, and
HP 70000 Series analyzers and the associated HP 8590-Series command.
Information in the description/comments column is "aligned" horizontally with the command(s) to which
NOTE
it applies.
There may be more than one SCPI command that applies to any given HP 8590-Series analyzer
command. In these cases, the SCPI commands are listed one after the other in column 2 of the table. The
next HP 8590-Series command appears on the line following the previous (unrelated) SCPI command.
For example, for the HP 8590-Series command AMPCOR, there is no similar SCPI command, and the
description of AMPCOR is given in column 3. AMPCOR (data) has an associated SCPI command in
column 2, with comments about the SCPI command in column 3. AMPCOR OFF/ON has two SCPI
commands that are related, and no comments are given for those commands. The query AMPCOR? has a
corresponding SCPI command in column 2, and associated comments in column 3 for the SCPI command.
