Test Application Switching
Description
Different radio formats (such as GSM, AMPS, CDMA 2000 or TIA/EIA 136) can be tested when the optional
test applications are purchased from Agilent Technologies. The test set allows you to select a different test
application and switch to it, a reboot makes the test application functional. The reboot will happen
automatically when the you tell the test set to switch test applications. Switching to another test application
takes about one minute.
Some radio formats are combined as fast switching test applications. Switching formats in a fast switching
test application takes less than 2 seconds.
Test Application Switching GPIB Command
In order to switch to another test application use this GPIB command:
OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:SELECT:NAME 'GSM MOBILE TEST'"
Sending this command causes the test set to reboot.
Test Application Revision and Licensing
Each test application must have a valid license and revision to function. Licensed revisions of test applications
are available from Agilent Technologies.
It may take several seconds before revision, model, and name information is returned.
Test Application Switching Programming Example
This program example shows you how to switch to the GSM test application.
1. Query the list of test application names to get exact spelling of the GSM test application. This is not
necessary if you already know the exact name.
2. Query the test set to get a list of all revisions for "GSM Mobile Test." This is not necessary if you are not
changing revisions.
3. Select a revision of "GSM Mobile Test." This is required if you are changing revisions.
4. Select the GSM test application. This will switch test applications and cause the test set to reboot.
10 OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:CATALOG:NAME?"
20 !Queries all of the test application names
30 ENTER 714;N$
40 PRINT "The CATALOG names that are loaded are ";N$
50 OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:CATALOG:REVISION? 'GSM MOBILE TEST'"
60 !Queries all revisions of GSM MOBILE TEST
70 ENTER 714;Cat_rev$
80 PRINT "The revisions for the GSM Mobile Test Application are ";Cat_rev$
90 OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:SELECT:REVISION 'GSM MOBILE TEST','A.04.01'"
100 !Selects a revision
110 OUTPUT 714;"SYSTEM:APPLICATION:SELECT:NAME 'GSM MOBILE TEST'"
