SYSTem:LANGuage 'SCPI' | '8566A' | '8566B' | '8568A' | '8568B' | '8594E'
This command activates the emulation of various spectrum analyzers. The analyzer default
command set is SCPI.
The following remote-control languages are available:
• SCPI
• 8566A
• 8566B
• 8568A
• 8568B
• 8594E
Note:
- When SCPI is selected, the 8566B/8568B/8594E command set is available in addition.
- When 8566A, 8566B, 8568A or 8568B is selected, both command sets A and B are available, as far
as they are supported.
On switching between remote-control languages, the following settings or changes will be made:
SCPI:
The instrument will perform a PRESET.
8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8594E:
The instrument will perform a PRESET.
The following instrument settings will then be changed:
Model # of Trace
Points
Start Freq. Stop Freq. Input
Cou

8566A/B 1001 2 GHz 22 GHz DC (FSU)
AC (FSP)
8568A/B 1001 0 Hz 1.5 GHz AC
8594E 625 (FSU)
501 (FSP)
0 Hz 3 GHz AC
Notes regarding switchover to 8566A/B and 8568A/B:
- Commands IP and KST, too, will perform the settings for the "# of Trace Points", "Start Freq.",
"Stop Freq." and "Input Coupling".
- Switchover of the "# of Trace Points" will not take place until the instrument is switched to the
REMOTE mode. For manual operation (selected with LOCAL softkey), the number of sweep
points (trace points) will always be set to 1251.
- In the remote mode, the screen area for the measurement will be reduced. The LOCAL softkey
(lowermost softkey) will be shifted slightly towards the center of the screen.
