  • Page 7: Programming Overview

    Serial communications take place via the 9 pin connector on the back of the Spectrum Master. The Spectrum Master is a DTE-type serial device and therefore requires a “null modem” cable for communication with a computer, which is also a DTE device. We provide a suitable cable with your Spectrum Master. (Anritsu part number 800-441) Serial Communication Parameters The Spectrum Master communicates at a baud rate of 9600.

  • Page 8: Entering Remote Mode

    Entering Remote Mode Send the Enter Remote Mode Byte #69 (45h) to the Spectrum Master to enter remote mode at the end of a sweep Send the Enter Remote Mode Immediately byte #70 (46h) to enter remote mode in the middle of a sweep. The Spectrum Master’s serial port buffer is one byte wide.

  • Page 9: Control Byte Descriptions

    Control Byte Descriptions Setup System – Control Byte #1 (01h) Description: Sets system status flags and switches. The current value of the flags can be obtained by executing command #29, Query System Setup, and parsing the values from the appropriate bytes. The Spectrum Master acts on the entire byte.

  • Page 10: Read Time/Date - Control Byte #7 (07H)

    Read Time/Date – Control Byte #7 (07h) Description: Reads the current time and date from the real time clock. This Time/Date is stamped into all stored sweeps (for users’ reference). The real time clock time and date can be set using control byte #8.

  • Page 11: Set Trace Name (Reference Number) - Control Byte #9 (09H)

    Set Trace Name (Reference Number) – Control Byte #9 (09h) Description: Stores a Reference Number with the sweep trace. The reference number is also known as the trace name. It is any combination of 16 letters, numbers and the characters “-“, “,”, “.” And “+”. This command stores a trace name with the sweep trace. The current reference number is found by recalling trace 0 and examining response bytes 39 to 54.

  • Page 12: Watch-Dog Timer On/Off - Control Byte #12 (0Ch)

    Watch-Dog Timer On/Off – Control Byte #12 (0Ch) Description: Enables or disables the Watch-dog timer. Default is Disabled. The Spectrum Master incorporates a watch-dog timer for higher reliability in serial communication. In selected control bytes (see control byte summary), the Spectrum Master checks for the time interval between each byte received from the computer.

    Recall System Setup – Control Byte #19 (13h) Description: Recalls system setup parameters from a specific store location. Storage locations depend on the measurement mode of the current setup. When the current mode is Spectrum Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer setups (1-10) can be recalled. When the current mode is Power Meter, one of the 5 Power Meter setups can be recalled.. When the current mode is T1/E1, one of the T1/E1 setups can be recalled (1-5).
