Syntax Descriptions

Syntax descriptions in the command reference chapters use the following elements:

<BLOCK>

This item designates block data. There are three kinds of block data; binary-definite-length-block data,

binary-indefinite-length-block data, and ASCII data. The analyzer always returns binary definite-length-block

data or ASCII data in response to queries.

When you send block data to the analyzer, you can send it either as definite-length block or indefinite-length

block data or as ASCII data.

If you are sending binary data using indefinite-length syntax, <BLOCK> takes the following form:

<data_byte> ::= unsigned 8-bit data

<NL> ::= new line (line feed) character, ASCII decimal 10

<^END> ::= GPIB END message (EOI set true)

If you are sending binary data using definite-length syntax, <BLOCK> takes the following form:

<BLOCK> ::= #<byte><length_bytes><data_byte>[<data_byte>]...

<byte> ::= number of length bytes to follow (ASCII encoded)

<length_bytes> ::= number of data bytes to follow (ASCII encoded)

<data_byte> ::= unsigned 8-bit data

If you are sending ASCII data, <BLOCK> takes the following form:

<BLOCK> ::= integer[,integer]. . . <NL>

<BLOCK> ::= floating-point-numeric[,floating-point-numeric]. . . <NL>

See “GPIB Message Syntax” in the

GPIB Programmer’s Guide

for more

information about block data.

<CHAR>

This item designates a string of ASCII characters. There are no delimiters. Usually, the string is from an

explicit set of responses. Maximum length is 12 characters.

This string specifies the type of measurement data. Channels 3 and 4 are only available with Option AY6.

D[1|2| . . |8] selects a data register

TCAPture [1|2|3|4] selects a time capture buffer

W[1|2|. . .|8] selects a waterfall register

XFRequency:POWer [1|2|3|4] selects power spectrum

XFRequency:POWer:COHerence [1,2|1,3|1,4|3,4] selects coherence

XFRequency:POWer:CROSs [1,2|1,3|1,4|3,4] selects cross spectrum
