SCPI Language Compatibility Application General
Rules and Limitations
The N9062A/W9062A application has been designed to emulate the remote operation of the R&S
FSE/FSP/FSU instruments for the most commonly used commands needed for basic spectrum analyzer
functions. It is not an absolute direct replacement for these instruments in all cases, and does not support
instrument modes beyond the core spectrum analyzer. It also does not emulate the local front-panel
interface (buttons) and display as used for manual operation.
Couplings
The N9062A/W9062A application uses the auto coupling features of the X-Series analyzers, and may be
slightly different from the FSE/FSP/FSU. To eliminate the possibilities of "Meas Uncal" errors between
auto and manual values, values will default to the X-Series auto settings where applicable (for example
resolution bandwidth).
The parameterâs default value is adjusted to match that of the FSE/FSP/FSU unless otherwise stated.
Data Formats
N9062A/W9062A application supports data formats defined for the X-Series analyzers. For more
information, see SA Programmerâs Guide.
Markers
The N9062A/W9062A application emulates the behavior of FSE/FSP/FSU instruments.
Numeric Ranges
Numeric ranges are limited to that of the X-Series analyzers unless otherwise stated. For more
information about X-Series numeric ranges, see SA Programmerâs Guide.
Remote Control
The N9062A/W9062A application in X-Series signal analyzers supports remote operation through the
following interfaces: GPIB, LAN, USB or Telnet.
Returning Data
Data returned in response to a command or query is defined in the following Chapter 3 , âCompatible
SCPI Commands,â on page 37, unless otherwise stated. For more information about X-Series data
returning, see SA Programmerâs Guide.
The data returned from queries, especially from a trace query, match the FSE/FSP/FSU for the most
common data formats (ASCII, Binary 32).
