Typical Programming Flow for the Tester

N9360A Multi UE Tester GSM Programming Manual
When you are writing a test program, refer to the following
guidelines.
• When more than two query commands are sent, the
controller must read the output of each query command from
the Tester. Otherwise, the controller may not be able to read
the output of prior query after the next query is sent to the
Tester.
• To read the measurement results, wait until the
measurement ends. To check the measurement status, read
the Status Byte Register using the *STB? query command
and check the Data Ready Bit (Bit 0) and the Measuring Status
Bit (Bit 1).
• When testing by the Automatic Test mode or the Manual Test
mode, wait until the step of the Test flow ends. To check the
status of the Test flow, send the
TESTs:AUTO:MEASure:SIGNaling:STATe? query
command when the test mode is the Automatic Test mode, or
send the TESTs:MANual:SIGNaling:STATe? query
command when the test mode the Manual Test mode.
When you are writing a test program for the Tester, insert the
following steps in your program.
