Configuring The Burst Synchronization Parameter - Agilent Technologies 8960 10 Series Reference Manual

Step 3: Configure the Measurement Execution Parameters
Trigger Arm Parameter
The Trigger Arm parameter determines whether a measurement will make one measurement then stop
(single), or automatically re-arm upon completion of one measurement and repeat the process (continuous).
Example 13. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:CONTinuous <ON|1|OFF|0>
NOTE The recommend trigger arm setting for all measurements when using the remote user interface
is single (CONTinuous OFF).
Example 14. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:CONT OFF"
would set the trigger arming to single for the transmit power measurement.

Configuring the Burst Synchronization Parameter

Burst Synchronization Parameter
The burst synchronization parameter specifies where in the sampled data stream the measurement algorithm
starts making its analysis of the captured data. Burst synchronization occurs after the measurement data is
captured. The burst synchronization parameter's setting determines how the measurement's time reference is
developed from the sampled data.
Not all measurements will have synchronization choices and not all synchronization choices will be available
in measurements that use synchronization. Measurement synchronization and measurement triggering are
independent settings and may be used in any combination.
Example 15. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:BSYNc <MIDamble|AMPLitude|NONE>
Example 16. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:PVT:BSYN MID"
would set the burst synchronization to midamble for the power versus time measurement.
