Copying Programs to and from the Analyzer
Copying and Running a Program with One
Command
You can create an IBASIC program or a file with a list of SCPI
commands on your computer, and then copy and automatically run it by
using the prog_run.bas and prog_run.scp files.
To copy the IBASIC program ib_prog to the analyzer and immediately
run it, follow the instructions below:
1. On your computer or workstation, access the analyzer by typing ftp
<hostname>. Enter your user name and password. For example, type
ftp my8712
user name
password
where my8712 is the <hostname>, user name is your login name,
and password is your user password. See “Using FTP to Access the
Analyzer” on page 4-3 for instructions on how to do this.
2. Type cd data at the ftp prompt.
3. Type put ib_prog prog_run.bas at the prompt. This copies your
program to the analyzer and immediately runs it.
4. You can also copy a file with a list of SCPI commands to the
prog_run.scp data file and the commands will be executed
immediately. See your analyzer's Programmer's Guide for a list of
SCPI commands.
The file you copy to "prog_run.scp" should simply be a list of SCPI
commands. Following is an example file containing SCPI commands:
SENS1:FUNC 'XFR:POW:RAT 2,0';DET NBAN;*WAI
CALC1:MARK:FUNC MAX
DISP:WIND1:TRAC:Y:AUTO ONCE
These commands set the analyzer to measure transmission, place a
marker on the maximum point, and then set the measurement trace
to autoscale mode.
NOTE Avoid the use of queries, as there is no way to read back the analyzer's
response.
