The syntax and use of all SCPI commands is described in Chapter 7, "Command refer-

ence", on page 840, where you will also find additional examples. For a general intro-

duction to remote control of the analyzer refer to Chapter 6, "Remote control",

on page 803. For an overview of special remote control features of the network ana-

lyzers refer to Chapter 6.3, "Basic remote control concepts", on page 817.

8.1 Basic tasks

This section presents detailed examples for programming tasks that almost every user

will encounter when working with the R&S ZNB/ZNBT.

8.1.1 Typical stages of a remote control program

A typical remote control program comprises the following stages:

1. Performing the basic instrument settings

2. Adjusting the test setup

3. Initiating the measurement, command synchronization

4. Retrieving measurement results

Very often, steps 3 and 4 (or steps 2 to 4) must be repeated several times.

All example programs in this section have been developed and tested by means of the

GPIB Explorer provided with the network analyzer. No extra programming environment

is needed.

8.1.1.1 Basic instrument settings

Programming task: Adjust the basic network analyzer settings to your measurement

tasks, optimizing the instrument for fast measurements.
