11.6 Exporting and Importing Remote Command Lists
To set specific instrument settings or perform tasks automatically, you can create
scripts or import scripts that contain the settings in the form of remote control com-
mand sequences.
The R&S SMW also offers a SCPI macro recorder with code generator that is used to
record manual settings and create an executable script, see Chapter 13.8.4, "How to
Record / Create SCPI Lists", on page 824.
Completed scripts are stored in files and possibly converted to different formats,
depending on the used language of the source code.
The R&S SMW supports the following commonly used languages:
●
Plain SCPI: *.txt
●
MATLAB: *.m
●
NICVI: *.c
●
Python: *.py
It is also possible to convert the SCPI command list to a user-specific language, see
Chapter 13.8.5, "How to Convert and Save SCPI Lists", on page 828.
11.7 Loading, Importing and Exporting Lists
The R&S SMW provides built-in editors for creating list files, for example for the list
mode or lists with user correction data. You can also create or evaluate them with an
external application. The instrument provides interfaces with the following functionality:
●
Import and export list files in a standard ASCII format file
●
Load files with modulation and control information
●
Load of internally or externally generated waveform file
Lists are saved and loaded in the corresponding dialogs. For example, the user correc-
tion data list is created and stored in the "User Correction" dialog.
