Interfacing with the N4010A
Some of the measurments require that a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) is installed in
a PC and the PC connected to the N4010A Test Set.
Full Front Panel operation of the N4010A Test Set is limited to system functions and
to Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 RF Testing (option 101). Rear Panel operation via SCPI is
similarly limited.
802.11 WLAN and Bluetooth 2.0 (EDR) testing requires the use of a DLL accessed
from the .NET or COM environment.
Refer to Table 1-1 and Figure 1-1 on page 4 for more details.
