Step 6: Make Measurements
Step 6: Make Measurements
Background
The multiple signal path, DSP based, multiple processor architecture of the test set allows the test set to make
concurrent measurements. This means that:
• multiple measurements can execute and finish at the same time (concurrently)
• individual measurement completion is not influenced by other measurement processes
• availability of measurement results is not dependent upon the sequence that the measurements were
requested in
• results from measurements that take few processor cycles are available without having to wait for
measurements that take many processor cycles
There are no special programming commands or techniques required to implement measurement concurrency.
“Step 6: Figure 1. Process for Making Measurements” on page 44 shows the recommended process for making
concurrent measurements using the test set’s command set.
