Post-Processing

Line 380 activates the marker and line 390 moves the marker to the maximum value on the
trace. For details on using the marker, see Chapter 4.

Transfer Data

Line 400 the measured data is transferred to the controller. For details about data transfer, see
Chapter 4.

To Execute an GPIB Command with a Parameter

Some GPIB commands require a numeric parameter. For example:
(The space between the command and the numeric parameter is mandatory.)
You can program it to be entered each time the program is run. For example:
Executing this,
d
The analyzer's center frequency is set to 25 MHz.

To Execute a Query

Any GPIB command that is used with a numeric parameter can also be used as query
command. For example, the
can be combined with a , and used as a query command as follows,
The command returns the current center frequency, which is put into . Executing this
program results in the following:
d
By interrogating the analyzer to determine the values of the start and stop frequencies, or the
center frequency and frequency span, the computer can keep track of the actual frequencies.
