Improving Command Processing Speed

SCPI commands should be processed quickly to improve throughput when

such commands are frequently executed (for example, reading out traces

for each measurement).

With the E5071C, the processing time for SCPI commands can be improved

by decreasing the refresh rate of the LCD display.

When the measurement trace does not need to be updated, turn off the

updating of the LCD display. This improves the processing speed of SCPI

commands and eliminates the time used for updating the screen.

To turn off the updating of the LCD display, use the following command:

When the measurement trace needs to be updated, the processing speed

of SCPI commands can still be improved by controlling the update timing of

the LCD display:

1. Execute all SCPI commands that are required before measurement,

including commands setting conditions.

2. Turn OFF the update of the LCD display.

3. Perform the measurement.

4. Execute the commands for reading out measurement result or

analyzing the result. Note that reading out the result in binary format

will accelerate data transfer.

5. Execute the following command to update the LCD display once

6. Return to Step 3.
