ESA Programming Examples
/* DISP:ENAB OFF */
/* - Select internal machine binary data format (milli-dBm) */
/* FORM:DAT INT,32 */
/* - Select appropriate byte order (Intel) */
/* FORM:BORD SWAP */
/* - Repeat the following the requested number of times: */
/* - Trigger a measurement and wait for completion */
/* INIT:*OPC? */
/* - Read the resulting measurement trace */
/* TRAC:DATA? TRACE1 */
/* - Compute running averaged power at all trace points */
/* - Display measurement statistics */
/* - Write averaged data to second trace display */
/* TRAC:DATA TRACE2 <definite length block of data> */
/* - Enable viewing of second trace */
/* TRACE2:MODE VIEW */
/* - Enable local display for viewing */
/* DISP:ENAB ON */
/* - Select continuous sweep mode */
/* INIT:CONT ON */
/* - Close session and Return instrument to local control */
