10 HP8643 emulation mode

HP8643 emulation mode

General

In this language emulation mode, the emulation software in the SM* emulates
the SCPI-compatible language, implemented in Agilent's signal generators of
type
HP8643A
o
HP8644A / B
o
HP8645A
o
The emulation software is supported on signal generators of type
SMA100
o
SMB100
o
The signal generator HP8643 / HP8644 / HP8645 also supports a HP8642
compatible Pre-SCPI-language. For more information on that language,
please refer to the HP8642 emulation.
The emulation software simulates the HP8643 data model in the execution unit
and transfers most of the HP8643 parameters into the SM* database.
This mapping occurs only in one direction: Setting commands that arrive via
the remote-control interface modify the HP8643 parameters. These
parameters are converted into SM* parameters and written to the database.
Modifiying the SM* parameters in any other manner, e.g., via manual operation
at the frontpanel, causes no changes to the HP8643 parameters of the
emulation software.
