  • Page 39: Synchronization Of Commands

    Programming the ShockLine™ Series VNA 2-12 Synchronization of Commands 2-12 Synchronization of Commands The ShockLine VNA provides synchronization by executing commands in a serial fashion. Subsequent commands will not be parsed and executed until the current SCPI command is parsed and completely executed.
  • Page 40 2-15 Time-Out Settings Programming the ShockLine™ Series VNA In many cases, the SCPI parser will also be busy participating in a long event, such as when the commands TRS;WFS are sent. The parser will not be available until the sweep is finished. The only way to get the parser to stop its current task and start processing new commands is to issue a command called Device Clear (DCL).
