Task planner

Task planner is a unique tool provided with N934xC HSA as an optional feature. It's easy
to sequentially execute many pre-defined measurements, log results, and generate
reports automatically.
The measurement modules which task plan supports include: SA, ACP, CHP, and OBW.
One task planner file (*.tpf) can execute up to 20 test tasks.
In this demonstration, we will compile a task planner file (w_cdma.tpf) and run it. Before
compiling it, you must install N934xC HSA PC software and the Keysight Technologies,
Inc. I/O library on your PC (download available at www.keysight.com/find/hsapc).
Step 1: Create a task plan file (.TPF)
Action 1: Save state file
Instructions for HSA
Set center frequency and span
Task 1: Channel power
Enter channel power
Set integrated bandwidth (BW)
Save the state file for channel power
Task 2: Occupied bandwidth (OBW)
Enter OBW
Save the state file for OBW
Task 3: Adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR)
Enter ACPR
Set main channel BW, adjacent channel BW, and space
Save the state file for ACPR
