HP 8753D - Analyzer Command Syntax

Note
There
is
also
an
address
for
the
system controller
. This
address refers
to the
controller
when
the
network
analyzer
is
being
used in
pass-control mode
. This
is
the
address
that
control
is
passed
back to
when the
analyzer-controlled
operation
is
complete
.
Analyzer
Command
Syntax
Code
Naming
Convention
The
analyzer
HP-IB
commands
are
derived
from
their
front-panel
key
titles
(where
possible),
according
to
this
naming
convention:
Simple
commands
are
the
rst
four
letters
of
the
function
they
control,
as in
POWE, the
command
name
for
power
.
If
the
function
label
contains
two
words
,
the
rst three
mnemonic
letters
are
the
rst
three
letters
of
the
rst
word,
and
the
fourth
mnemonic
letter
is
the rst
letter
of
the
second
word.
F
or
example
,
ELED
is
derived
from
electrical
delay
.
If
there
are
many
commands
grouped
together
in
a
category
,
as in
markers or
plotting pen
numbers
,
the
command
is
increased
to
8
letters
.
The
rst 4
letters are
the category
label
derived
using
rule
1.
The
last
4
letters
are
the
function
specier
,
again derived
using rule
1.
As
an
example
,
category
pen
numbers are
represented by
the
command
PENN,
which
is
used
in
combination
with
several
functions
such
as PENND
AT
A,
PENNMEMO
.
The
code
naming
guidelines
,
listed
in
Table
11-1
,
are
used
in
order
to:
make
commands
more
meaningful
and
easier
to
remember
maintain
compatibility
with
other
products
(including
the
HP
8510)
Note
There
are
times
when
these
guidelines
are
not
followed
due
to
technical
considerations
.
