Operating Manual 1145.1084.12 – 30 805
The signals at the USER CONTROL connector reflect the channel bits of the measuring channel,
i.e. the channel for which the analyzer performs a sweep. This channel is not necessarily identical
with the active channel.
The signals are switched on as soon as a measurement (sweep) in a channel with non-zero
channel bits is started. They are changed whenever a channel with different channel bits becomes
the measuring channel.
The signals at the USER CONTROL connector are maintained after the analyzer enters the hold
state. This happens if all channels use single sweep mode and if all sweep sequences have been
terminated.
You can use the active channel number as a parameter for OUTPut<Ch>:UPORt[:VALue] and
monitor the activity of up to 256 different channels at the USER CONTROL connector; see example
below. You can also use the USER CONTROL output signals as channel-dependent trigger signals for
external devices. Use CONTrol:AUXiliary:C[:DATA] to transfer the eight bit value in decimal
representation.
#B00000000 to #B11111111 (for setting command), 0 to 255 (query) [–]
The transferred values correspond to the following states of the USER
CONTROL connector:
#B00000000 – no signal at any of the eight pins
#B00000001 – output signal at pin 8
#B00000010 – output signal at pin 9
#B00000011 – output signal at pin 8 and 9
...
#B11111111 – output signal at pins 8 to 11 and 16 to 19
If pins 16 to 19 are not used as extra channel bits, only the four least
significant bits are considered.
Device-specific, with query. The query returns a decimal value.
*RST; :OUTP1:UPOR #B00000001
Assign the channel bit value #B00000001 to the active channel no. 1. The
analyzer performs a measurement in channel no. 1, therefore the output signal
at pin 8 is switched on.
CONF:CHAN2:STAT ON; OUTP2:UPOR #B00000010
Create channel no. 2, causing it to become the active channel, and assign the
channel bit value #B00000010. The analyzer performs no measurement in
channel no. 2, therefore the output signal is not changed.
CALC2:PAR:SDEF 'Ch2Tr1', 'S11'
Create a trace named 'Ch2Tr1' and assign it to channel 2. While the analyzer
measures in channel 2, the output signal changes from pin 8 to pin 9.

This subsystem controls external application programs that can be run on the analyzer.
