Across PSA Modes: Specific Command Differences

Some programming commands operate differently depending on which
Mode the analyzer is set to.
Spectrum Analysis, Phase Noise
Command
CONFigure: Accesses the measurement and sets
<measurement> the instrument settings to the
defaults. Averaging is turned on and
set to 10. The instrument is put in
single measurement mode. It does
not initiate a measurement. Use
INIT:IMM to make one
measurement.
*ESE default Default is 255 which means that
every error/status bit change that has
occurred will be returned with a
*ESR? query. You must set the value
of *ESE to choose only the bits/status
that you want returned.
TRIGger For these modes, only one trigger
commands source can be selected and it will be
common across the modes. Also, only
one value can be set for the trigger
delay, level, or polarity.
Saving and Traces can only be saved when in the Spectrum Analysis mode
recalling traces (MMEM:STOR:TRAC). This is because the instrument state must be saved
along with the trace data and the state data varies depending on the number
of modes currently available in the instrument.
306
and Noise Figure Mode
Basic, cdmaOne, cdma2000,
1xEV-DO, W-CDMA, GSM, EDGE,
NADC, PDC Modes
Accesses the measurement and sets
the instrument settings to the
defaults. If you were already in
single measurement mode, it takes
one measurement and then waits. If
you were in continuous measurement
mode it continues to measure.
Default is 0 which means that none
of the error/status bit changes that
have occurred will be returned with a
*ESR? query. You must set the value
of *ESE to choose the bits/status that
you want returned.
For these modes, a unique trigger
source can be selected for each mode.
Also, each trigger source can have
unique settings for the its delay,
level, and polarity.
