Automating Measurements
Configuring Your Test System
Network Analyzers
In this configuration, the measurement is controlled by an
IBASIC
program
With IBASIC Controlled
running inside the analyzer.
IBASIC
can provide high-speed measurement
by Computer(s)
control and data collection, and save the results in program memory or on
disk. The external computer then communicates with
IBASIC,
and collects
the measurement results at some defined interval. This configuration can
result in higher throughput, especially if the measurement setup and control
is complex. Configure your system as an analyzer with
IBASIC
(Option
lC2)
and an external computer if you would like to:
l
Centralize automation and application programs
l
Develop a more sophisticated system
l
Add networking
l
Add local automation capability
