What is the Sequence Analyzer?
Source List Sequencer
The signal generator (on the source side of the test set) is used to produce RF stimulus waveforms for use
in calibrating and testing mobile devices. The Source List Sequencer can be used to execute a series of
stimulus operations, in either of two ways:
• In the Sequence Analyzer mode, the source list sequencer is run by the same sequence which is also
running the analyzer list sequencer. (This is the only way to run both list sequencers at the same
time.) In this case, the lines representing the source sequence parameters are added to the sequence
following the analyzer sequence parameters, as illustrated below in Figure 1-4.)
• Outside the Sequence Analyzer mode, the source list sequencer can be run independently of the
analyzer list sequencer. (This is can be done from the front panel of the test set by selecting “List
Sequencer” on the Source menu.)
Figure 1-4. Source Parameters Within a Combined Sequence
For example, two stimulus steps would be represented by two lines of parameters in the sequence file
(tabs are represented here by “>”):
### Source ###
1 > IMM > 1 > PGSM > UP > 30 > -55 > gmsk.wfm > TIME > 4.62 > NONE
2 > IMM > 1.33 > PGSM > UP > 31 > -35 > CONT > COUNt > 13 > NONE
The parameters for the source are described in Chapter 3 . For more detailed information on setting up
the source List Sequencer refer to the Source User’s Guide, which is available as a pdf on the test set and
on the Agilent web.
