4.1.2 Across PSA Modes: Specific Command Differences

Some programming commands operate differently depending on which Mode the analyzer is set to.
Spectrum Analysis, Phase Noise and
Command
CONFigure: Accesses the measurement and sets the
<measurement> instrument settings to the defaults.
Averaging is turned on and set to 10. The
instrument is put in single measurement
mode. It does not initiate a measurement.
Use INIT:IMM to make one measurement.
*ESE default Default is 255 which means that every
error/status bit change that has occurred
will be returned with a *ESR? query. You
must set the value of *ESE to choose only
the bits/status that you want returned.
TRIGger For these modes, only one trigger source
commands can be selected and it will be common
across the modes. Also, only one value can
be set for the trigger delay, level, or
polarity.
Saving and Traces can only be saved when in the Spectrum Analysis mode (MMEM:STOR:TRAC).
recalling traces This is because the instrument state must be saved along with the trace data and the state
data varies depending on the number of modes currently available in the instrument.

Modes
Accesses the measurement and sets the
instrument settings to the defaults. If you
were already in single measurement mode,
it takes one measurement and then waits. If
you were in continuous measurement
mode it continues to measure.
Default is 0 which means that none of the
error/status bit changes that have occurred
will be returned with a *ESR? query. You
must set the value of *ESE to choose the
bits/status that you want returned.
For these modes, a unique trigger source
can be selected for each mode. Also, each
trigger source can have unique settings for
the its delay, level, and polarity.
