Diagram Conventions

Diagram Description

Statement elements are connected by lines. Each line can be followed in only one direction, as indicated by the arrow at the end of the line. Any combination of statement elements that can be generated by starting at the Root Element and following the line the direction of the arrow is syntactically correct. The drawings show the proper use of spaces. Where spaces are required they are indicated by <sp>, otherwise no spaces are allowed between statement elements.

Complex Command Description

A complex command sets the state of the parameter to ON, and is used to set a value for that parameter. These parameters; amplitude, frequency, gain, number, time, and value can be used as a complex command. Refer to the specific command for the parameter that applies.

Identifier Description

Some commands/queries are shared by more than one radio format. In fast switching test applications identifiers are used to specify the format for the command/query. The command/query is sent to the active format if you don't use an identifier. An identifier must be used when sending commands to the inactive format..

Developing Code

It is recommended that you set the Test Set's operating environment to debug. To set the Test Set debug mode to "ON" use the following syntax:

 
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:DEBug ON
