Programming

Single Source Multiple-Frequency Configuration

This setup allows the 8530A to measure each receive switch input in sequence. Each one is measured as a separate parameter, which you can read using the system computer. Refer to the GPIB Programming chapter of the Agilent 8530A Operating and Programming Manual for detailed information.

•Select external triggering with TRGEXT. This is equivalent to pressing STIMULUS {MENU} {MORE} {TRIGGER MODE} {TRIG SRC EXTERNAL}. This command is described in the Stimulus chapter of the Agilent 8530A Operating and Programming Manual.

•Set the 8530A so it waits for a trigger before measuring each parameter. You can do this by issuing PAR1TON, PAR2TON, PAR3TON, and PAR4TON. This is equivalent to pressing STIMULUS {MENU} {MORE} {TRIGGER MODE}, then ensuring that {PARAM 1}, {PARAM 2}, {PARAM 3}, and {PARAM 4} are activated (underlined). These commands are described in the Stimulus chapter of the Agilent 8530A Operating and Programming Manual.

You only have to send the PARTON commands that relate to the parameters that are actually being measured. For example, if you are only measuring Parameter 1 and Parameter 2, PAR1TON and PAR2TON are the only two commands that must be executed.

NOTE	You can issue all four of these commands even if you are measuring only
	two or three parameters. The extra commands will simply be ignored.

85330A settings

•When the source is under 8530A control, the multiple channel controller must be set to the IMMediate triggering mode:

RUNT:SOUR:SOURCE1:TRIG IMM;

•Use GPIB address 19 for the RF source.
