3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem STATus Subsystem The following diagram shows the entire Status Register Subsystem implementation of the X Series instruments. Detailed Description The STATus subsystem remote commands set and query the status hardware registers. This system of registers monitors various events and conditions in the instrument.
Page 140
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem The operation and questionable status registers are sets of registers that monitor the overall instrument condition. They are accessed with the STATus:OPERation and STATus:QUEStionable commands in the STATus command subsystem. Each register set is made up of five registers: •...
Page 141
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem • *STB? (status byte) queries the value of the status byte register without erasing its contents. How to Use the Status Registers A program often needs to be able to detect and manage error conditions or changes in instrument status. There are two methods you can use to programmatically access the information in status registers: •...
Page 142
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem event register is cleared. Querying the event register allows you to detect that this condition occurred even if the condition no longer exists. The event register can only be cleared by querying it or sending the *CLS command.
Page 143
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem 2. It’s usually a good idea to start by clearing all the status registers with *CLS. 3. Sending the STAT:QUES:INT:ENAB 1024 command lets you monitor only bit 10 events, instead of the default monitoring all the bits in the register. The register default is for positive transition events (0 to 1 transition).
Page 144
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem The SRQ process sets the SRQ true. It also sets the status byte’s request service (RQS) bit to 1. Both actions are necessary to inform the controller that the instrument requires service. Setting the SRQ line only informs the controller that some device on the bus requires service.
Page 145
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem The Status Byte Register The RQS bit is read and reset by a serial poll. The same bit position (MSS) is read, non-destructively by the *STB? command. If you serial poll bit 6 it is read as RQS, but if you send *STB it reads bit 6 as MSS. For more information refer to IEEE 488.2 standards, section 11.
Page 146
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem Description 0, 1 These bits are always set to 0. A 1 in this bit position indicates that the SCPI error queue is not empty which means that it contains at least one error message. A 1 in this bit position indicates that the data questionable summary bit has been set.

Page 148
3 Programming the Test Set STATus Subsystem Description A 1 in this bit position indicates that all pending operations were completed following execution of the *OPC command. This bit is for GPIB handshaking to request control. Currently it is set to 0 because there are no implementations where the spectrum analyzer controls another instrument.

4 Input/Output Functions Input/Output External Gain Compensates for gain or loss in the measurement system outside the spectrum analyzer. The External Gain is subtracted from the amplitude readout (or the loss is added to the amplitude readout). So, the displayed signal level represents the signal level at the output of the device-under-test, which can be the input of an external device that provides gain or loss.

The instrument stops any measurement currently underway, performs the alignment, then restarts the measurement from the beginning (similar to pressing the Restart key). If an interfering user signal is present at the RF Input, the alignment is performed on all subsystems except the RF.
Page 288
6 System Functions System Successful completion will clear bit 14 in the Status Questionable Calibration register. An interfering user signal is not grounds for failure of Align Now, All. However, bits 11 and 12 are set in the Status Questionable Calibration register to indicate Align Now, RF is required. An interfering user supplied signal will result in the instrument requiring an Align Now, RF with the interfering signal removed.

8 Channel Power Measurement Auto Couple Auto Couple The Auto Couple feature provides a quick and convenient way to automatically couple multiple instrument settings. This helps ensure accurate measurements and optimum dynamic range. When the Auto Couple feature is activated, either from the front panel or remotely, all parameters of the current measurement that have an Auto/Manual mode are set to Auto mode and all measurement settings dependent on (or coupled to) the Auto/Man parameters are automatically adjusted for optimal performance.

8 Channel Power Measurement Sweep/Control Periodic Timer Triggering: This feature selects the internal periodic timer signal as the trigger.

Before reviewing the figure, we’ll explain some uses for the periodic trigger.
Page 615
8 Channel Power Measurement Sweep/Control Period Sets the period of the internal periodic timer clock. For digital communications signals, this is usually set to the frame period of your current input signal. In the case that sync source is not set to OFF, and the external sync source rate is changed for some reason, the periodic timer is synchronized at the every external synchronization pulse by resetting the internal state of the timer circuit.

9 ACP Measurement Sweep/Control Periodic Timer Triggering: This feature selects the internal periodic timer signal as the trigger. Trigger occurrences are set by the Periodic Timer parameter, which is modified by the Sync Source and Offset. The figure below shows the action of the periodic timer trigger. Before reviewing the figure, we’ll explain some uses for the periodic trigger.
Page 947
9 ACP Measurement Sweep/Control Period Sets the period of the internal periodic timer clock. For digital communications signals, this is usually set to the frame period of your current input signal. In the case that sync source is not set to OFF, and the external sync source rate is changed for some reason, the periodic timer is synchronized at the every external synchronization pulse by resetting the internal state of the timer circuit.
Page 948
9 ACP Measurement Sweep/Control that internal offset is unknown, we will just call that the accumulated offset. Whenever the Offset parameter is changed, you are changing that accumulated offset. You can reset the displayed offset using Reset Offset Display. Changing the display does not change the value of the accumulated offset, and you can still make additional changes to accumulated offset.

9 ACP Measurement Trace/Detector other analyzer settings. The detector choices are: • The Normal detector determines the peak of CW-like signals, and it yields alternating maximums and minimums of noise-like signals. This is also referred to as Rosenfell detection. • The Average detector determines the average of the signal within the data range. The averaging method is Power (RMS).

9 ACP Measurement View/Display View/Display Accesses a menu of functions that enable you to control the instrument display as well as turn the bar graph On and Off. If current mode is NOT MSR mode, the front panel views only contain one view: Spectrum View. The results of the measurement can be displayed as a single spectrum trace view or displayed with a Bar Graph trace on the spectrum trace.
Page 974
9 ACP Measurement View/Display Spectrum Window When the Bar Graph is On and Limit Test is On, the color of each bar graph reflects the limit test result. When the limit test fails, the bar color is red, and when limit test passes, the bar color is blue. When RBW is selected as the measurement method, the spectrum trace is not displayed, only the bar graph is displayed.

9 ACP Measurement View/Display This is the power in the reference carrier. The power is calculated by integrating across the bandwidth declared by the Carrier Integ Bw parameter for that carrier. The integration bandwidth is shown as part of the result. This is the value of the Carrier Integ Bw for that carrier unless the RRC Filter is on, then the integration bandwidth used is the displayed value, which is (1 + alpha)/T where T = 1/(Carrier Integ Bw).
