Tsweep - HP 83751A Programming Manual

This is a convenience command that does the equivalent of
By combing TSW with *WAI, *OPC and *OPC?, the functionality of "single
sweep" (S2) and "take sweep" (TS) can be achieved. 'lb get something similar
to the old TS command, use TSW,*WAI to cause the parsing of commands to
wait until the sweep is restarted and completed. (Notice it said "parsing", not
handshaking. The commands are still taken off of the bus since the bus is
NOT held up like TS used to do).
For example :
POWER 5 DBM;TSW;*WAI;POWER 10 DBM
will set the power to 5 dBm, reset the sweep and start a new one, wait until
the sweep completes, and then set the power to 10 dE3m.
For example :
POWER 5 DBM;TSW;POWER 10 DBM
will set the power to 5 d.Em, reset and start the sweep and then change the
power to 10 dBm without waiting for the sweep to complete.
*OPC? should be used to synchronize the sweep with other instruments. For
example, you want to sweep the sweeper and then read a voltmeter once the
sweep is finished. *WA1 will not help since the sweeper will let go of the
Set up the DVM.
l
Set up the sweeper.
l
Send to the sweeper; "TSW,*OPC?"
l
Enter from the sweeper;DONE
l
The program will wait here forever if necessary, until the sweeper
completes the sweep and responds to the *OPC? query with a 1.
Now the sweep is finished, read the voltmeter.
