Example:
*RST; :INITiate:CONTinuous:ALL OFF
Activate single sweep mode for all channels (including the channels created later).
INITiate1:IMMediate; *WAI
Start a single sweep in channel no. 1, wait until the sweep is terminated before pro-
ceeding to the next command (see Chapter 6.4, "Command processing",
on page 949).
Sweeps in several channels
It is also possible to subdivide the channels within a recall set into active and inactive
channels. The analyzer will then measure in the subset of active channels only; see
program example for CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:MEASure[:STATe].
6.3.4 Addressing traces and channels
The analyzer provides a variety of schemes for addressing traces and channels and for
querying trace and channel names. The following tables give an overview.
Table 6-1: Addressing channels
Method Commands / Example
Channel number <Ch> as a numeric suffix
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>[:STATe] ON
Query all channel names CONFigure:CHANnel:CATalog? (returns the
names of all channels)
Assign or query channel name of a channel num-
bered <Ch>
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME 'ABCD'
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME? (returns
'ABCD')
Query channel number assigned to a channel
named 'ABCD'
CONFigure:CHANnel<Ch>:NAME:ID? 'ABCD'
(returns the actual channel number, the channel suf-
fix is ignored)
Table 6-2: Addressing traces
Method Commands / Example
Channel number <Chn> used as a reference for the
active trace in the channel
CALCulate<Chn>:MARKer<Mk>[:STATe] ON
Trace name (string variable) used as a reference for
the trace
CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter:DELete '<Trace
Name>'
Trace number <Trc> as a numeric suffix (exception!)
CONFigure:TRACe<Trc>:NAME?
Trace number <WndTr> within a particular diagram
area <Wnd>
DISPlay:WINDow<Wnd>:TRACe<WndTr>:FEED
Query all trace names CONFigure:TRACe:CATalog? (returns the names
of all traces)
