Selecting the Active Channel/Trace
You can configure the E5071C by using various commands. Some
commands require you to specify and work with a particular channel or
trace, while other commands do not have this restriction.
Those commands that do not require you to specify a particular channel or
trace apply to the currently active channels and traces. Therefore, before
issuing such a command, you must make the appropriate channels and
traces active.
To make a channel active, use the following command:
:DISP:WIND{1-160}:ACT
Only the currently displayed channels can be active channels.
•
Therefore, you must display the desired channels by using the
:DISP:SPL
To make a trace active, use the following command:
:CALC{1-160}:PAR{1-16}:SEL
Only the currently displayed traces can be active traces.
•
Therefore, you must display the desired traces by using the
:CALC{1-160}:PAR:COUN
If you are using E5071C revision A.9.60 and above, you can select a trace
by the trace name, provided it has been defined earlier. To define a trace
name, use the following command:
:CALC{1-160}:PAR{1-16}:TNAMe:DATA
If the trace name is not defined but used, the following error
•
occurs:
'51, Specified trace does not exist'
If the defined trace name already exist, the following error
•
occurs:
'63, Duplicate trace name'
If you are using E5071C revision A.9.60 and above, you also have an
option to select the trace directly by using
commands. As such, you do not need to make a trace active before
assigning a command to it.
For example, to activate marker 3 in trace 2, channel 1:
In E5071C revision A.9.60 and above:
•
:CALC1:TRAC2:MARK3:ACT
In E5071C revision A.9.5x and below:
