Test Set I/O Commands

When troubleshooting the Test Set, I/O commands issued by the PNA will be
used.

Controlling the Test Set Using Test Set I/O Commands

A Test Set I/O command may be used when the PNA is connected to the Test
Set via the Test Set I/O cable. Commands may control the test set or read data
from the test set. The GPIB command processor utility, in the network analyzer
software, is used to communicate over the Test Set I/O connector.
It is recommended to use a USB keyboard with a PNA when using the
command processor.
