R&S ESCI Introduction 5 Remote Control - Basics In this chapter you'll find: • instructions on how to put the R&S ESCI into operation via remote control, • a general introduction to remote control of programmable instruments. This includes the description of the command structure and syntax according to the SCPI standard, the description of command execution and of the status registers, • diagrams and tables describing the status registers used in the R&S ESCI.
Getting Started R&S ESCI Getting Started The short and simple operating sequence given below permits fast putting into operation of the instrument and setting of its basic functions. As a prerequisite, the IEC/IEEE-bus address, which is factory-set to 20, must not have been changed. 1. Connect instrument and controller using IEC/IEEE-bus cable. 2.
R&S ESCI Starting Remote Control Operation Starting Remote Control Operation On power-on, the instrument is always in the manual operating state ("LOCAL" state) and can be operated via the front panel. It is switched to remote control ("REMOTE" state) IEC/IEEE-bus as soon as it receives an addressed command from a controller. RS-232 if it is controlled in a network (RSIB interface), as soon as it receives a command from a controller. as soon as it receives the command "@REM" from a controller.
Starting Remote Control Operation R&S ESCI Remote Control via IEC/IEEE Bus Setting the Device Address In order to operate the instrument via the IEC-bus, it must be addressed using the set IEC/IEEE bus address. The IEC/IEEE bus address of the instrument is factory-set to 20. It can be changed manually in the SETUP - GENERAL SETUP menu or via IEC bus. Addresses 0 to 30 are permissible.
R&S ESCI Starting Remote Control Operation Remote Control via RS-232-Interface Setting the Transmission Parameters To enable an error-free and correct data transmission, the parameters of the unit and the controller should have the same setting. Parameters can be manually changed in menu SETUP-GENERAL SETUP in table COM PORT or via remote control using the command SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:... .
Starting Remote Control Operation R&S ESCI Remote Control in a Network (RSIB Interface) Setting the Device Address For control of the instrument in a network, it must be accessed using the preselected IP address. The IP address of the instrument (device address) is defined in the network configuration. Setting the IP address: ! Call SETUP - GENERAL SETUP – CONFIGURE NETWORK menu. ! Select "Protocols" tab. ! Set IP address for TCP/IP protocol under "Properties" (see section on option FSP-B16).
R&S ESCI Messages Messages The messages transferred via the data lines of the IEC bus (see Chapter 8, IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface) can be divided into two groups: – interface messages and – device messages. IEC/IEEE-Bus Interface Messages Interface messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line being active. They are used for communication between controller and instrument and can only be sent by a controller which has the IEC/IEEE bus control.
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages R&S ESCI Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages SCPI Introduction SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) describes a standard command set for programming instruments, irrespective of the type of instrument or manufacturer. The goal of the SCPI consortium is to standardize the device-specific commands to a large extent. For this purpose, a model was developed which defines the same functions inside a device or for different devices.
R&S ESCI Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Device-specific commands Hierarchy: Device-specific commands are of hierarchical structure (see Fig. 5-1). The different levels are represented by combined headers. Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one key word. This key word denotes a complete command system. Example: SENSe This key word denotes the command system SENSe.
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Optional key words: R&S ESCI Some command systems permit certain key words to be optionally inserted into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square brackets in the description. The full command length must be recognized by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard. Some commands are considerably shortened by these optional key words.
R&S ESCI Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Structure of a Command Line A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by a , a with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. The IEC/IEEE driver of the controller usually produces automatically an EOI together with the last data byte. Several commands in a command line are separated by a semicolon ";".
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages R&S ESCI Responses to Queries A query is defined for each setting command unless explicitly specified otherwise. It is formed by adding a question mark to the associated setting command. According to SCPI, the responses to queries are partly subject to stricter rules than in standard IEEE 488.2. 1 The requested parameter is transmitted without header. Example: INPut:COUPling? Response: DC 2.
R&S ESCI Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Parameters Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text, character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the respective command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description Numerical values Numerical values can be entered in any form, i.e.
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Text R&S ESCI Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be separated from the header by a white space. In the case of a query, the short form of the text is provided. Example: Setting command: INPut:COUPling Query: INPut:COUPling? Strings Response GRO Strings must always be entered in quotation marks (' or ").
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System Instrument Model and Command Processing The instrument model shown in Fig. 5-2 has been made viewed from the standpoint of the servicing of IEC-bus commands. The individual components work independently of each other and simultaneously. They communicate by means of so-called "messages". Input unit with IEC Bus input puffer Command recognition Data set Status reportingsystem Instrument hardware IEC Bus Output unit with output buffer Fig.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI Command Recognition The command recognition analyses the data received from the input unit. It proceeds in the order in which it receives the data. Only a DCL is serviced with priority, a GET (Group Execute Trigger), e.g., is only executed after the commands received before as well. Each recognized command is immediately transferred to the instrument data base but without being executed there at once.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System Output Unit The output unit collects the information requested by the controller, which it receives from the data base management. It processes it according to the SCPI rules and makes it available in the output buffer. If the instrument is addressed as a talker without the output buffer containing data or awaiting data from the data base management, the output unit sends error message "Query UNTERMINATED" to the status reporting system.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI Status Reporting System The status reporting system (cf. Fig. 5-4) stores all information on the present operating state of the instrument, e.g. that the instrument presently carries out a calibration and on errors which have occurred. This information is stored in the status registers and in the error queue. The status registers and the error queue can be queried via IEC bus. The information is of a hierarchical structure.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System CONDition part The CONDition part is directly written into by the hardware or the sum bit of the next lower register. Its contents reflects the current instrument status. This register part can only be read, but not written into or cleared. Its contents is not affected by reading. PTRansition part The Positive-TRansition part acts as an edge detector.

R&S ESCI Status Reporting System Description of the Status Registers Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE) The STB is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It provides a rough overview of the instrument status by collecting the pieces of information of the lower registers. It can thus be compared with the CONDition part of an SCPI register and assumes the highest level within the SCPI hierarchy. A special feature is that bit 6 acts as the sum bit of the remaining bits of the status byte.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI IST Flag and Parallel Poll Enable Register (PPE) By analogy with the SRQ, the IST flag combines the entire status information in a single bit. It can be queried by means of a parallel poll (cf. Section 3.8.4.3) or using command "*IST?". The parallel poll enable register (PPE) determines which bits of the STB contribute to the IST flag. The bits of the STB are ANDed with the corresponding bits of the PPE, with bit 6 being used as well in contrast to the SRE.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System STATus:OPERation Register In the CONDition part, this register contains information on which actions the instrument is being executing or, in the EVENt part, information on which actions the instrument has executed since the last reading. It can be read using commands "STATus:OPERation:CONDition?" or "STATus :OPERation[:EVENt]?". Table 5-4 Meaning of the bits in the STATus.OPERation register Bit No.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI STATus:QUEStionable Register This register comprises information about indefinite states which may occur if the unit is operated without meeting the specifications. It can be queried by commands STATus:QUEStionable: CONDition? and STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]?. Table 5-5 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable register Bit No. Meaning 0 to 2 These bits are not used 3 POWer This bit is set if a questionable power occurs (cf.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System STATus:QUEStionable:ACPLimit Register This register comprises information about the observance of limits during adjacent power measurements. It can be queried with commands 'STATus:QUEStionable:ACPLimit :CONDition?' and 'STATus:QUEStionable:ACPLimit[:EVENt]?' Table 5-6 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:ACPLimit register Bit No. Meaning 0 ADJ UPPer FAIL(Screen A) This bit is set if in screen A.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI STATus:QUEStionable:FREQuency Register This register comprises information aboutthe reference and local oscillator. It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:FREQuency:CONDition? and "STATus :QUEStionable:FREQuency[:EVENt]?. Table 5-7 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:FREQuency register Bit No. Meaning 0 OVEN COLD This bit is set if the reference oscillator has not yet attained its operating temperature. 'OCXO' will then be displayed.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit<1|2> Register This register comprises information about the observance of limit lines in the corresponding measurement window (LIMit 1 corresponds to Screen A, LIMit 2 to Screen B). It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit<1|2>:CONDition? and STATus:QUEStionable: LIMit<1|2>[:EVENt]?. Table 5-8 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit<1|2> register Bit No. Meaning 0 LIMit 1 FAIL This bit is set if limit line 1 is violated.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI STATus:QUEStionable:LMARgin<1|2> Register This register comprises information about the observance of limit margins in the corresponding measurement window (LMARgin1 corresponds to Screen A, LMARgin2 corresponds to Screen B). It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:LMARgin<1|2>:CONDition? and "STATus :QUEStionable:LMARgin<1|2>[:EVENt]?. Table 5-9 Bit No.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System STATus:QUEStionable:POWer Register This register comprises all information about possible overloads of the unit. It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:POWer:CONDition? and "STATus :QUEStionable:POWer[:EVENt]?. Table 5-10 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:POWer register Bit No. Meaning 0 OVERload (Screen A) This bit is set if the RF input is overloaded. 'OVLD' will then be displayed.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI STATus QUEStionable:TRANsducer Register This register indicates that a transducer hold point is attained (bit 15) and what range is to be swept next (bit 0 to 10). The sweep can be continued with command INITiate2:CONMeasure. It can be queried with commands 'STATus:QUEStionable:TRANsducer:CONDition?' and 'STATus :QUEStionable:TRANsducer[:EVENt]?'. Table 5-11 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:TRANsducer register Bit No.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System Application of the Status Reporting Systems In order to be able to effectively use the status reporting system, the information contained there must be transmitted to the controller and further processed there. There are several methods which are represented in the following. Detailed program examples are to be found in chapter 7, Program Examples.
Status Reporting System R&S ESCI Parallel Poll In a parallel poll, up to eight instruments are simultaneously requested by the controller by means of a single command to transmit 1 bit of information each on the data lines, i.e., to set the data line allocated to each instrument to logically "0" or "1". By analogy to the SRE register which determines under which conditions an SRQ is generated, there is a parallel poll enable register (PPE) which is ANDed with the STB bit by bit as well considering bit 6.
R&S ESCI Status Reporting System Resetting Values of the Status Reporting System Table 5-12 comprises the different commands and events causing the status reporting system to be reset. None of the commands, except for *RST and SYSTem:PRESet influences the functional instrument settings. In particular, DCL does not change the instrument settings.

R&S ESCI Notation 6 Remote Control - Description of Commands Notation In the following sections, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then described in detail, arranged according to the command subsystems. The notation is adapted to the SCPI standard. The SCPI conformity information is included in the individual description of the commands.
Notation R&S ESCI Upper/lower case notation Upper/lower case letters are used to mark the long or short form of the key words of a command in the description (see Chapter 5). The instrument itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters. Special characters | A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several commands. These keywords are indicated in the same line; they are separated by a vertical stroke.
R&S ESCI Notation These keywords mark parameters which may be entered as numeric values or be set using specific keywords (character data). The following keywords given below are permitted: MINimum This keyword sets the parameter to the smallest possible value. MAXimum This keyword sets the parameter to the largest possible value. DEFault This keyword is used to reset the parameter to its default value. UP This keyword increments the parameter value.
Common Commands R&S ESCI Common Commands The common commands are taken from the IEEE 488.2 (IEC 625-2) standard. A particular command has the same effect on different devices. The headers of these commands consist of an asterisk "*" followed by three letters. Many common commands refer to the status reporting system which is described in detail in Chapter 5.
R&S ESCI Common Commands *CAL? CALIBRATION QUERY initiates a calibration of the instrument and subsequently queries the calibration status. Any responses > 0 indicate errors. *CLS CLEAR STATUS sets the status byte (STB), the standard event register (ESR) and the EVENt-part of the QUEStionable and the OPERation register to zero. The command does not alter the mask and transition parts of the registers. It clears the output buffer.
Common Commands R&S ESCI *OPT? OPTION IDENTIFICATION QUERY queries the options included in the instrument and returns a list of the options installed. The options are separated from each other by means of commas. Position Option 1 R&S FSP-B3 Audio Demodulator 2 R&S FSP-B4 OCXO 3 R&S ESPI-B2 Preselector 4 R&S FSP-B6 TV and RF Trigger 5-6 7 R&S FSP-B9 reserved Tracking Generator 3 GHz / can be I/Q-modulated 8 R&S FSP-B10 Ext.
R&S ESCI Common Commands *TRG TRIGGER initiates all actions in the currently active test screen expecting a trigger event. This command corresponds to INITiate:IMMediate (cf. Section "TRIGger Subsystem"). *TST? SELF TEST QUERY initiates the selftest of the instrument and outputs an error code in decimal form (0 = no error). *WAI WAIT-to-CONTINUE permits servicing of subsequent commands only after all preceding commands have been executed and all signals have settled (cf. Chapter 5 and "*OPC" as well).
ABORt - Subsystem R&S ESCI ABORt Subsystem The ABORt subsystem contains the commands for aborting triggered actions. An action can be triggered again immediately after being aborted. All commands trigger events, and therefore they have no *RST value. COMMAND :ABORt :HOLD PARAMETERS --- UNIT --- COMMENT no query ABORt This command aborts a current measurement and resets the trigger system.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem The CALCulate:DELTamarker subsystem controls the delta-marker functions in the instrument. The measurement windows are selected via CALCulate1 (screen A) or 2 (screen B).
CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:MODE ABSolute | RELative This command switches between relative and absolute frequency input of the delta marker (or time with span = 0). It affects all delta markers independent of the measurement window. Example: "CALC:DELT:MODE ABS" 'Switches the frequency/time indication for all delta markers to absolute values. "CALC:DELT:MODE REL" 'Switches the frequency/time indication for all 'delta markers to relative to marker 1.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:X:RELative? This command queries the frequency (span > 0) or time (span = 0) of the selected delta marker relative to marker 1 or to the reference position ( for CALCulate:DELTamarker:FUNCtion :FIXed:STATe ON). The command activates the corresponding delta marker, if necessary.
CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:MAXimum:NEXT This command positions the delta marker to the next smaller maximum value on the measured curve. The corresponding delta marker will be activated first, if necessary. Example: "CALC1:DELT2:MAX:NEXT" 'Sets delta marker 2 in screen A to the next 'smaller maximum value. Characteristics: *RST value: SCPI: device-specific Mode: R, A, FM This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:MINimum:NEXT This command positions the delta marker to the next higher minimum value of the measured curve. The corresponding delta marker will be activated first, if necessary. Example: "CALC1:DELT2:MIN:NEXT" 'Sets delta marker 2 in screen A to the next higher minimum value. Characteristics: *RST value: SCPI: device-specific Mode: R, A, FM This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:FUNCtion:FIXed[:STATe] ON | OFF This command switches the relative measurement to a fixed reference value on or off. Marker 1 will be activated previously and a peak search will be performed, if necessary. If marker 1 is activated, its position becomes the reference point for the measurement.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:FUNCtion:FIXed:RPOint:Y:OFFSet This command defines an additional level offset for the measurement with fixed reference value (CALCulate:DELTamarker:FUNCtion:FIXed:STATe ON). For this measurement, the offset is included in the display of all delta markers of the selected measurement window.
CALCulate:DELTamarker Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:DELTamarker<1 to 4>:FUNCtion:PNOise:RESult? This command queries the result of the phase-noise measurement in the selected measurement window.The measurement will be switched on, if necessary. Example: "CALC:DELT:FUNC:PNO:RES?" 'Outputs the result of phase-noise 'measurement of the selected delta marker in 'screen A. Characteristics: *RST value: SCPI: device-specific Mode: A This command is only a query and therefore has no *RST value. 1166.6004.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:FEED Subsystem CALCulate:FEED Subsystem The CALCulate:FEED subsystem selects the type of evaluation of the measured data. This corresponds to the selection of the Result Display in manual mode. If the FM demodulator is active, the selection of the type of evaluation is independent of the measurement window. Therefore, the numeric suffix <1|2> is irrelevant and ignored.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem The CALCulate:LIMit subsystem consists of the limit lines and the corresponding limit checks. In receiver mode, upper limit lines can be defined. In analyzer mode, limit lines can be defined as upper or lower limit lines. The individual Y values of the limit lines correspond to the values of the X axis (CONTrol). The number of X and Y values must be identical.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem COMMAND CALCulate<1|2> :LIMit<1 to 8> :TRACe :STATe :UNIT :FAIL? :CLEar [:IMMediate] :COMMent :COPY :NAME :DELete PARAMETERS UNIT DBM | DBPW | WATT | DBUV | DBMV | VOLT | DBUA | AMPere | DBPT |DB | DBUV_M | DBUA_M COMMENT -- query only -no query ---- - 1 to 8 | < name> -- CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:TRACe 1 to 3 This command assigns a limit line to a trace in the indicated measurement window.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:FAIL? This command queries the result of the limit check of the limit line indicated in the selected measurement window. It should be noted that a complete sweep must have been performed for obtaining a valid result. A synchronization with *OPC, *OPC? or *WAI should therefore be provided. The result of the limit check responds with 0 for PASS, 1 for FAIL, and 2 for MARGIN. This command is not available in receiver mode.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:NAME This command assigns a name to a limit line numbered 1 to 8. If it does not exist already, a limit line with this name is created. The command is independent of the measurement window. The name of the limit line may contain a maximum of 8 characters. Example: "CALC:LIM1:NAME 'GSM1'" 'Assigns the name 'GSM1' to limit line 1.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower Subsystem The CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower subsystem defines the limit check for adjacent channel power measurement.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ACHannel[:RELative]:STATe ON | OFF This command activates the limit check for the relative limit value of the adjacent channel when adjacent channel power measurement is performed. Before the command, the limit check must be activated using CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower:STATe ON. The result can be queried with CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower:ACHannel:RESult?.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ACHannel:ABSolute:STATe ON | OFF This command activates the limit check for the adjacent channel when adjacent-channel power measurement (Adjacent Channel Power) is performed. Before the command, the limit check for the channel/adjacent-channel measurement must be globally switched on using CALC:LIM:ACP ON. The result can be queried with CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower:ACHannel:RESult?.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ACHannel:RESult? This command queries the result of the limit check for the upper /lower adjacent channel in the selected measurement window when adjacent channel power measurement is performed. If the power measurement of the adjacent channel is switched off, the command produces a query error. The numeric suffixes <1 to 8> are irrelevant for this command.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ALTernate<1|2>[:RELative] 0 to 100dB, 0 to 100dB. This command defines the limit for the first/second alternate adjacent channel in the selected measurement window for adjacent channel power measurements. The reference value for the relative limit value is the measured channel power. The numeric suffix after ALTernate<1|2> denotes the first or the second alternate channel. The numeric suffixes <1 to 8> are irrelevant for this command.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ALTernate<1|2>[:RELative]:STATe ON | OFF This command activates the limit check for the first/second alternate adjacent channel in the selected measurement window for adjacent channel power measurements. Before the command, the limit check must be activated using CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower:STATe ON. The numeric suffix after ALTernate<1|2> denotes the first or the second alternate channel.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ALTernate<1|2>:ABSolute -200DBM to 200DBM, -200DBM to .200DBM This command defines the absolute limit value for the lower/upper alternate adjacent channel power measurement (Adjacent Channel Power) in the selected measurement window. The numeric suffix after ALTernate<1|2> denotes the first or the second alternate channel. The numeric suffixes <1 to 8> are irrelevant for this command.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ALTernate<1|2>:ABSolute:STATe ON | OFF This command activates the limit check for the first/second alternate adjacent channel in the selected measurement window for adjacent channel power measurement (Adjacent Channel Power). Before the command, the limit check must be globally switched on for the channel/adjacent channel power with the command CALCulate:LIMit:ACPower:STATe ON.
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:ACPower:ALTernate<1|2>:RESult? This command queries the result of the limit check for the first/second alternate adjacent channel in the selected measurement window for adjacent channel power measurements. The numeric suffix after ALTernate<1|2> denotes the first or the second alternate channel. The numeric suffixes <1 to 8> are irrelevant for this command.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate:LIMit:CONTrol Subsystem The CALCulate:LIMit:CONTrol subsystem defines the x axis (CONTrol-axis). COMMAND CALCulate<1|2> :LIMit<1...8> :CONTrol [:DATA] :DOMain :OFFSet :MODE :SHIFt :SPACing PARAMETERS ,.. FREQuency|TIME RELative|ABSolute LINear | LOGarithmic UNIT COMMENT HZ | S HZ | S HZ | S CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:CONTrol[:DATA] ,..
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:CONTrol:OFFSet This command defines an offset for the X axis value of the selected relative limit line in the frequency or time domain. The unit of values depends on the frequency or time domain of the X axis, i.e. it is HZ with CALC:LIM:CONT:DOM FREQ und S bei CALC:LIM:CONT:DOM TIME.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate:LIMit:LOWer Subsystem The CALCulate:LIMit:LOWer subsystem defines the lower limit line. This subsystem is not available in receiver mode. COMMAND CALCulate<1|2> :LIMit<1 to 8> :LOWer [:DATA] PARAMETERS ,..
CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem R&S ESCI CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:LOWer:STATe ON | OFF This command switches on or off the indicated limit line in the selected measurement window. The limit check is activated separately with CALC:LIM:STAT ON. In analyzer mode, the result of the limit check can be queried with CALCulate:LIMit<1 to 8>:FAIL?. Example: "CALC:LIM4:LOW:STAT ON" 'Switches on limit line 4 (lower limit) in 'screen A. "CALC2:LIM4:LOW:STAT ON" 'Switches on limit line 4 (lower limit) also in 'screen B.
R&S ESCI CALCulate:LIMit Subsystem CALCulate<1|2>:LIMit<1 to 8>:LOWer:SHIFt This command shifts a limit line by the indicated value in Y direction. In contrast to CALC:LIM:LOW:OFFS, the line is shifted by modifying the individual Y values but not by means of an additive offset. The shift is independent of the measurement window.

Note: Command HCOPy:DESTination is used to select an output medium other than the default one.
R&S ESCI SYSTem Subsystem SYSTem:ERRor? This command queries the earliest entry in the error queue, and deletes it after the readout. Positive error numbers indicate device-specific errors, negative error numbers are error messages defined by SCPI (cf. Chapter 9). If the error queue is empty, the error number 0, "no error", is returned. This command is identical with the command STATus:QUEue:NEXT?. This command is a query and therefore has no *RST value.

This allows setting the bandwidth of the analog filters in front of the A/D converter as well as setting the sample rate, trigger conditions and the record length.
R&S ESCI TRACe Subsystem Examples: "TRAC:IQ:SET NORM,10MHz,32MHz,EXT,POS,0,2048"'Reads 2048 I/Q-values starting at the 'trigger point. 'Filtertype:NORMAL (analog) 'RBW:10 MHz 'Sample Rate:32 MHz 'Trigger:External 'Slope:Positive "TRAC:IQ:SET NORM,1MHz,4MHz,EXT,POS,1024,512"'Reads 512 I/Q-values from 1024 'measurement points before the 'trigger point.
TRACe Subsystem R&S ESCI TRACe<1|2>:IQ:SYNChronize[:STATe] ON | OFF This command switches on or off the synchronization of the start of I/Q data acquisition to the trigger event. Prior to this command, I/Q data acquisition has to be switched. The sampling rate must be 32 MHz. The synchronization ensures the correct calculation of I/Q average values as the data aquisition is always started with the same phase reference in relation to the trigger event.
R&S ESCI TRIGger Subsystem TRIGger Subsystem The TRIGger subsystem is used to synchronize instrument actions with events. It is thus possible to control and synchronize the start of a sweep. An external trigger signal can be applied to the connector at the rear panel of the instrument. A distinction is made between TRIGger1 (screen A) and TRIGger2 (screen B).

R&S ESCI IEC/IEEE-Bus Commands of HP Models Model-Dependent Default Settings When the IEC/IEEE-bus language is switched over to an 85xx model, the IEC/IEEE-bus address will automatically be switched over to 18 provided that the default address of the R&S ESCI (20) is still set. If a different value is set, this value will be maintained. Upon return to SCPI, this address will remain unchanged.
IEC/IEEE-Bus Commands of HP Models R&S ESCI Data Output Formats In the case of the SCPI and IEEE488.2 standards, the output formats for numerical data are flexible to a large extent. The output format for the HP units, by contrast, is accurately defined with respect to the number of digits. The memory areas for reading instrument data have therefore been adapted accordingly in the remote-control programs for instruments of this series.
R&S ESCI IEC/IEEE-Bus Commands of HP Models IEC/IEEE-Bus Status Reporting The assignment of status bits by commands R1, R2, R3, R4, RQS is supported. The STB command and the serial poll respond with an 8-bit value having the following assignment: The return value of a serial poll is to use the STB command in order to identify the reason for the service request. The bits returned by the STB command are mapped in the same way as for the RQS command.

R&S ESCI Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming 7 Remote Control - Programming Examples The following programming examples have a hierarchical structure, i.e. subsequent examples are based on previous ones. It is thus possible to compile very easily an operational program from the modules of the given examples. Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming The examples explain the programming of the instrument and can serve as a basis to solve more complex programming tasks.
Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming R&S ESCI • Generating a response buffer Since the DLL returns zero-terminated strings in case of responses, a string of sufficient length should be generated prior to calling the functions ibrd() and ilrd(), since Visual Basic prefixes a length value to the strings which is not updated by the DLL.
R&S ESCI Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming Initiate Instrument The IEC-bus status registers and instrument settings of the instrument are brought to the default status.
Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming R&S ESCI Configuring Power Save Function (Display Permanently Switched Off) The results on the screen are often not required during IEC/IEEE-bus operation. Although the command "SYSTem:DISPlay:UPDate OFF" switches off the display of results, which brings considerable advantages in terms of speed in the remote control mode, the display itself and in particular the backlighting remain switched on.
R&S ESCI Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming Reading Out Instrument Settings The settings made in the above example are read out using the abbreviated commands.
Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming R&S ESCI Command Synchronization The possibilities for synchronization implemented in the following example are described in Chapter 5, Section "Command Order and Command Synchronization". REM -------- Examples of command synchronization -------------------------PUBLIC SUB SweepSync() REM The command INITiate[:IMMediate] starts a single sweep if the command REM INIT:CONT OFF was previously sent.
R&S ESCI Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming Service Request The service request routine requires an extended initialization of the instrument in which the relevant bits of the transition and enable registers are set. In order to use the service request function in conjunction with a National Instruments GPIB driver, the setting "Disable Auto Serial Poll" must be changed to "yes" by means of IBCONF.
Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming R&S ESCI Waiting for the Arrival of a Service Request There are basically two methods of waiting for the arrival of a service request: 1. Blocking (user inputs not possible): This method is appropriate if the waiting time until the event to be signalled by an SRQ is short (shorter than the selected timeout), if no response to user inputs is required during the waiting time, and if – as the main criterion – the event is absolutely certain to occur.
R&S ESCI Basic Steps of IEC/IEEE-Bus Programming Waiting Without Blocking the Keyboard and Mouse A frequent problem with remote control programs using Visual Basic is to insert waiting times without blocking the keyboard and the mouse. If the program is to respond to user inputs also during a waiting time, control over the program events during this time must be returned to the operating system. In Visual Basic, this is done by calling the DoEvents function.

R&S ESCI More Complex Programming Examples Measuring Spurious Emissions In transmission measurements, it is often necessary to search a large frequency range for unwanted spurious emissions. This can be done by means of the R&S ESCI's LIST PEAKS function, which finds up to 50 peaks in a preselected frequency range and outputs them as a list. The search range can be defined both in terms of frequency and level, and the number of peaks to be found is selectable as well.
More Complex Programming Examples R&S ESCI Frequency Counting The following example is based on a signal with a level of –30 dBm at 100 MHz. The default setting of the R&S ESCI can also be used for this measurement (SetupInstrument). The objective of frequency counting is to determine the exact frequency of the signal at 100 MHz.
R&S ESCI More Complex Programming Examples Operation with Fixed Reference Point (Reference Fixed) The following example is based on a signal with a level of –20 dBm at 100 MHz. The harmonics of the signal lie at 200 MHz, 300 MHz, etc. In the presence of high-quality signal sources these harmonics may be outside the dynamic range of the R&S ESCI.
More Complex Programming Examples R&S ESCI Phase and Phase Noise Measurement During phase noise measurement the noise power referred to 1 Hz is brought into proportion to the power of an adjacent carrier signal. The spacing often used between the measured frequency and the carrier frequency is 10 kHz. For the noise measurement the measured absolute level is referred to a bandwidth of 1 Hz. The following example is again based on a signal with a level of –30 dBm at 100 MHz.
R&S ESCI More Complex Programming Examples Shape Factor Measurement (using n dB down) The n-dB-down function of the R&S ESCI is used twice to determine the shape factor of a filter (ratio of bandwidths at 60 dB and 3 dB below the filter maximum). The following example is again based on a signal with a level of –30 dBm at 100 MHz. The shape factor is determined for the 30 kHz resolution bandwidth. The default setting of the R&S ESCI is used for measurements (SetupInstrument).
More Complex Programming Examples R&S ESCI Measuring the Third Order Intercept Point The third order intercept point (TOI) is the (virtual) level of two adjacent useful signals at which the intermodulation products of third order have the same level as the useful signals. The intermodulation product at fS2 is obtained by mixing the first harmonic of the useful signal PN2 with signal PN1, the intermodulation product at fS1 by mixing the first harmonic of the useful signal PN1 with signal PN2.
R&S ESCI More Complex Programming Examples Measuring the AM Modulation Depth The example below is based on an AM-modulated signal at 100 MHz with the following characteristics: • Carrier signal level: –30 dBm • AF frequency: 100 kHz • Modulation depth: 50 % The default setting of the receiver for measurements can be used for the measurements described below (SetupInstrument).

In addition, the peak power, the rms value and the standard deviation are measured. To do this, the time-domain-power measurement functions are used.
More Complex Programming Examples R&S ESCI Fast Power Measurement on Power Ramps A frequent task in mobile radio tests is measurement of a DUT at various power control levels at the highest possible speed. The R&S ESCI offers two test functions for this task, which can be used depending on the signal characteristics. In the following, the two methods are presented by means of two examples.

More Complex Programming Examples R&S ESCI Level Correction of Transducers (Definition of Transducer Factors) In more complex test systems, the frequency response of the test setup must be taken into account in all power measurements to avoid any measurement errors being introduced from sources other than the DUT. The R&S ESCI offers the possibility of defining a frequency-dependent attenuation correction factor (transducer factor).

R&S ESCI More Complex Programming Examples Measuring the Magnitude and Phase of a Signal (I/Q Data Acquisition) Due to the R&S ESCI's internal architecture, it is capable of measuring and outputting the magnitude and phase of a signal in addition to its power values. This opens up a variety of possibilities for more indepth analysis (FFT, demodulation, etc). The I/Q data is stored in memory areas each containing 512 k words. Hardware triggering controls the memory.
More Complex Programming Examples R&S ESCI The image frequency in MHz is calculated as follows: f image = 2 ⋅ (f center + 5.4 MHz) − f signal where fimage = image frequency in MHz fcenter = center frequency in MHz fsignal = frequency in MHz of signal measured For correct measurements, the RF input signal must be band-limited. Signals spaced more than 5.4 MHz from the center frequency are reflected into the passband of the 10 MHz filter.

This is subject to the following conditions: 1. An external trigger signal must be available for data measurement, and the trigger signal must be phase-locked to the signal measured. 2. The same reference-frequency signal must be used for the DUT and the R&S ESCI. 3.

Please follow the instructions in the service manual when exchanging modules or ordering spares. The order no. for spare parts can be found in the service manual. The address of our support center and a list of all Rohde & Schwarz service centers can be found at the beginning of this manual.
Instrument Interfaces R&S ESCI Instrument Interfaces AF Output A miniature telephone jack can be used at the AF OUTPUT connector to connect an external loudspeaker, a headphone set or, e.g., a LF voltmeter. The internal resistance is 10 ohms and the output voltage can be controlled with the volume controller on the left side to the connector. When a jack is plugged in, the internal loudspeaker is automatically turned off.
R&S ESCI Instrument Interfaces IEC Bus Interface The standard instrument is equipped with an IEC/IEEE Bus connector. An IEEE 488 interface connector is located on the rear panel of the R&S ESCI. An external controller for remote control of the instrument can be connected via the IEEE 488 interface connector using a shielded cable. Interface Characteristics • 8-bit parallel data transfer • bi-directional data transfer • three-line handshake • high data transfer rate of max.
Instrument Interfaces R&S ESCI REN (Remote Enable), active low permits the switch over to remote control. EOI (End or Identify), has two functions in connection with ATN: active low marks the end of data transmission when ATN=high active low triggers a parallel poll when ATN=low. 3. Handshake bus with three lines. DAV (Data Valid), active low signals a valid data byte on the data bus. NRFD (Not Ready For Data), active low signals that one of the devices connected is not ready for data transfer .
R&S ESCI Instrument Interfaces Interface Messages Interface messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC Bus when the "ATN" control line is active (LOW). They are used for communication between controller and instruments and can only be sent by the controller which currently has control of the IEC Bus. Universal Commands The universal commands are encoded 10 - 1F hex. They affect all instruments connected to the bus without addressing.
Instrument Interfaces R&S ESCI Printer Interface (LPT) The 25-pin LPT connector on the rear panel of the Fig. 8-4 is provided for the connection of a printer. The LPT interface is compatible with the CENTRONICS printer interface.

R&S ESCI Instrument Interfaces RS-232-C Interface (COM) The standard R&S ESCI is equipped with a serial interfaces (RS-232-C; COM connector at the rear of the instrument). The interface can be set up and activated manually in the SETUP-GENERAL SETUP menu in the COM PORTtable (Selection OWNER = INSTRUMENT).
Instrument Interfaces R&S ESCI DSR (Data Set Ready), Input, active LOW, Indicates that the remote station is ready to receive data. RTS (Request To Send), Output, active LOW. Indicates that the local terminal wants to transmit data. CTS (Clear To Send), Input, active LOW. Used to tell the local terminal that the remote station is ready to receive data. RI (Ring Indicator), Not used in R&S ESCI. Input, active LOW. Used by a modem to indicate that a remote station wants to establish a connection.
R&S ESCI Instrument Interfaces Control Characters For interface control, several strings are defined and control characters are reserved which are based upon IEC Bus control.
Instrument Interfaces R&S ESCI Hardware handshake For hardware handshake, the instrument indicates that it is ready to receive data via the lines DTR and RTS. A logic '0' on both lines means 'ready' and a logic '1' means 'not ready'. The RTS line is always active (logic '0') as long as the serial interface is switched on. The DTR line thus controls the readiness of the instrument to receive data. The readiness of the remote station to receive data is reported to the instrument via the CTS and DSR line.

This USB connector is used to connect two USB devices (USB 1.1): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Pin Signal 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 + 5 V USB0 USBDATA0 USBDATA0 + GND + 5 V USB1 USBDATA1 USBDATA1 + GND Fig. 8-10 USB connector assignment Note: Passive USB connection cables should not be longer than 1 m.
R&S ESCI Instrument Interfaces CCVS Input and Output (CCVS IN/OUT, Option FSP-B6) The BNC connector CCVS IN/OUT can be switched at CCVS input or CCVS output. If TV triggering is switched on, the demodulated TV signal is available for operating a CCVS monitor, provided triggering is set to the internal demodulation signal (CCVS INT). In case of TV triggering to an externally fed CCVS signal (CCVS EXT), the connector serves as an input.
