® R&S Introduction Remote Control – Basics This chapter provides: • Instructions on how to set up the R&S ® CBT for remote control operation. • A general introduction to remote control of programmable instruments. This includes the description of the command structure and syntax according to the SCPI standard, the description of command execution and of the status registers.
® Operation via Remote Control R&S Operation via Remote Control ® As with any device, the R&S CBT must be assigned a unique primary address in the range 0 to 30. In addition it uses extended addressing, i.e. a secondary address must be assigned to the individual func- tion groups.
® R&S Operation via Remote Control ® Changing the addresses manually (model R&S CBT): The R&S CBT uses the secondary addresses 1, 2 and 3 for function groups RF Non Signalling, Bluetooth Non Signalling and Bluetooth Signalling, respectively. This default assignment can be changed e.g.

® R&S GPIB Bus Messages GPIB Bus Messages The messages transferred via the data lines of the GPIB bus (see Chapter 8) can be either interface messages or device messages. Interface Message Interface messages are transferred on the data lines of the GPIB bus, the ATN control line being active. They are used for communication between controller and instrument and can only be sent by a com- puter which has the function of an GPIB bus controller.
® SCPI Command Structure and Syntax R&S SCPI Command Structure and Syntax SCPI commands consist of a so-called header and, in most cases, one or more parameters. The header and the parameters are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank).
Page 365
® R&S SCPI Command Structure and Syntax Some key words occur on several levels within one command system. Their effect Multiple key depends on the structure of the command, i. e. on the position in the command words header they are inserted in. Example: SOURce:RFGenerator:TX:FREQuency 1GHZ This command contains the key word SOURce in the first command level.
® SCPI Command Structure and Syntax R&S Structure of a Command Line A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by a <New Line>, a <New Line> with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. Visual BASIC automatically produces an EOI together with the last data byte.
® R&S SCPI Command Structure and Syntax Parameters Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text, character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the respective command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description.
® SCPI Command Structure and Syntax R&S Example: :SYST:REM:ADDR:SEC 1,"Bluetooth_NSig" :SYST:REM:ADDR:SEC 1,’Bluetooth_Nsig’ Block data are a transmission format which is suitable for the transmission of Block data large amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter with definite length has the following structure: Example: :HEADer:HEADer #45168xxxxxxxx...
® R&S Instrument Model and Command Processing Instrument Model and Command Processing The block diagram in figure shows how GPIB bus commands are serviced in the instrument. Fig. 5-3 The individual components work independently and simultaneously. They communicate with each other by means of so-called "messages".
® Instrument Model and Command Processing R&S Command Recognition The command recognition stage analyzes the data received from the input unit. It proceeds in the order in which it receives the data. Only a DCL is serviced with priority, e.g. a GET (Group Execute Trigger) is only executed after the commands received before.
® R&S Instrument Model and Command Processing Output Unit The output unit collects the information requested by the controller, which it receives from the data set management. It processes it according to the SCPI rules and makes it available in the output buffer. If the information requested is longer, it is made available "in portions"...
® Status Reporting System R&S Status Reporting System The status reporting system (cf. Fig. 5-5) stores all information on the present operating state of the instrument, and on errors which have occurred. This information is stored in the status registers and in the error queue.
Page 373
® R&S Status Reporting System The CONDition part is permanently overwritten by the hardware or the sum bit CONDition part of the next lower register. Its contents always reflect the current instrument status. This register part can only be read, but not overwritten or cleared. Reading the CONDition register is nondestructive.

® Status Reporting System R&S Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE) The STB is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It provides a rough overview of the instrument status by col- lecting the pieces of information of the lower registers. It can thus be compared with the CONDition part of an SCPI register and assumes the highest level within the SCPI hierarchy.
® R&S Status Reporting System IST Flag and Parallel Poll Enable Register (PPE) By analogy with the SRQ, the IST flag combines the entire status information in a single bit. It can be queried by means of a parallel poll (cf. Section Parallel Poll on page 5.26) or using the command "*IST?".
® Status Reporting System R&S STATus:OPERation Register ® The R&S CBT offers 30 independent STATus:OPERation:CMU:SUM1|2:CMU<nr> sub-registers (<nr>=1 ... 15) which are implemented in a hierarchical form. The bits of the 30 STATus:OPERation registers are set only after the registers are assigned to a function group and measurement mode (see p.

® R&S Status Reporting System The parallel poll method is mainly used to find out quickly which one of the instruments connected to the GPIB bus has sent a service request. To this effect, SRE and PPE must be set to the same value. Query by Means of Commands Each part of any status register can be read by means of queries.

® R&S Measurement Control Measurement Control ® The R&S CBT offers a variety of measurements which are arranged in function groups and measure- ment groups. All measurements are controlled according to the same basic concepts. The benefit of this structure lies in the close analogy of all function groups. Commands belonging to different measure- ments have the same structure and syntax.

® R&S Maintenance 8 Maintenance and Interfaces ® The following chapter contains information on the maintenance of the R&S CBT. Please follow the instructions in the service manual and in the installation instructions provided with the parts when exchanging modules or ordering spare parts. The order no. for spare parts can be found in the service manual.
® Hardware Interfaces R&S Hardware Interfaces The following sections give a description of the instrument’s front and rear panel connectors with their technical data. GPIB Bus Interface The instrument is equipped with a GPIB bus (IEC/IEEE-bus) connection. The interface connector labeled IEEE 488 / IEC 625 is located on the rear panel of the instrument.
® R&S Hardware Interfaces Bus Lines 1. Data bus with 8 lines D0 to D7 The transmission is bit-parallel and byte-serial in the ASCII/ISO code. D0 is the least significant bit, D7 the most significant bit. 2. Control bus with 5 lines IFC (Interface Clear), active LOW resets the interfaces of the instruments connected to the default setting.
® Hardware Interfaces R&S Interface Messages Interface messages are transmitted to the instrument on the data lines, with the attention line being active (LOW). They serve to communicate between controller and instrument. Universal Commands Universal commands are encoded in the range 10 through 1F hex. They are effective for all instruments connected to the bus without pervious addressing.
® R&S Hardware Interfaces Serial Interface (COM 1) ® The R&S CBT is equipped with a serial RS-232-C interface. The 9-pin standard Sub-D male connector is labeled COM 1 and located on the rear panel. A controller for remote control or data transfer can be connected to this interface.
® Hardware Interfaces R&S Signal lines 1. Data lines RxD (Receive Data) Input data. Data transfer is bit-serial in the ASCII code, starting with the least significant bit (LSB). TxD (Transmit Data) Output data. Data transfer is bit-serial in the ASCII code, starting with the least significant bit (LSB). The two data lines RxD and TxD are a minimum requirement for data transfer.
® R&S Hardware Interfaces Transmission Parameters In order to ensure error-free and correct data transmission, the parameters of the instrument and the controller must be set identically. The parameters of the RS-232 interfaces can be set in the Setup - Remote menu or using the command group SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial...
® Hardware Interfaces R&S Handshake Software handshake In case of a software handshake data transfer is controlled using the two control characters XON / XOFF: • The R&S ® CBT uses the control character XON to indicate that it is ready to receive data. •...

® Hardware Interfaces R&S Signal Inputs and Outputs RF Connectors The N-type connector on the front panel labeled RF IN/OUT is used as an input and output for RF signals. The maximum permitted input level is listed in the data sheet. Bidirectional RF connector RF IN/OUT Fig.
® R&S Hardware Interfaces AF Connectors Various BNC connectors on the front panel are used as inputs and outputs for audio signals. Input of the speech encoder SPEECH CODEC IN SPEECH CODEC OUT Output of the speech decoder The permitted output level range, the output impedance and the maximum output current of the AF connectors is listed in the data sheet.
® R&S Error Messages 9 Error Messages ® In case of an error during operation, the R&S CBT displays a yellow notice box with a message describing the error and one or several buttons to close the box and continue operation. Accordingly, the instrument can generate error messages while executing a remote control program.
® Error Messages R&S Message Explanation The Power or Modulation measurement is underdriven. Reduce maximum input level (Max. Level No power in parameter in Connection Control – Analyzer). expected centre of burst No power in The average power in the preamble is at least 6dB less than the power in center of the burst. No cure / preamble measurement can't be performed in that case.
® R&S Error Messages Command error The following errors cause bit 5 in the ESR register to be set. Error code Explanation -100 Command error Generic error message that cannot detect a more specific error. -101 Invalid character The command contains a character which is invalid for that type. -102 Syntax error The data type received is not accepted at this position.
