GPIB Commands for the Formats in a Fast Switching Application

For fast switching application GPIB commands, refer to the applicable radio technology's GPIB Commands section in the Online User's Guide. The individual technologies' Online User's Guide is available at:

• AMPS/136 format, please visit:

  http://wireless.agilent.com/rfcomms/refdocs/is136/default.php

• cdma2000/IS-95/AMPS format, please visit:

  http://wireless.agilent.com/rfcomms/refdocs/cdma2k/default.php

• W-CDMA (including HSDPA) format, please visit:

For example, to locate the GPIB commands for the 1xEV-DO test application included with the E1987A fast switching application:

1. Select the 1xEV-DO (E1966A) technology.
2. Select GPIB Commands from the Contents menu.

GPIB Commands with Format Mnemonics

Some GPIB commands are common to more than one technology in a fast switching application. To specify a technology when using these commands the test set accepts a format mnemonic at the end of the command (:SELected, :GSM, :GPRS, :TA136, :DIGital136, :DIGital95, :DIGital2000, :TA2000, :DIGital856, :TA856, :FDD and :WCDMa).

For a listing of the GPIB commands that are common to multiple technologies, see:

GPIB Commands with Format Mnemonics

If you do not add a format mnemonic to a common command, the command is applied to the currently active technology.
