Operating Manual 1145.1084.12 – 30 806
PROGram[:SELected]:EXECute '<file_path>[ <command>]'
Starts an application program or open a file using an application available on the analyzer.
It is not possible to run several programs simultaneously. If the command
PROGram[:SELected]:EXECute is sent while a previously started program is still executed, the
analyzer generates a SCPI error –100,"Command error...".
Executing batch files; command prompt
When executing batch scripts or other DOS applications, the analyzer does not display any DOS windows;
the screen is left for the network analyzer (NWA) application. The same applies to the Windows NT
command prompt (cmd.exe).
To access the command prompt, proceed as follows:
1. Create a batch file (e.g. "Start_cmd.bat") containing the command line start cmd.exe and store
the file to C:\Winnt\system32.
2. Execute the batch file: PROG:EXEC 'C:\winnt\system32\Start_cmd.bat'
The command prompt window is displayed in front of the NWA application. You can also open several
command prompt windows simultaneously.
'<file_path>'
Name and path of an application program to be executed or of a file to be opened.
The path can be defined as an absolute path (e.g. 'c:\...') or relative to the current
directory (MMEMory:CDIRectory). Blanks in the file name are not allowed because
everything after a blank is interpreted as a <command>.
<command>
Command name in the selected application <file_name> (optional).
