Reading Trace Data using ASCII Format (GPIB)

viPrintf(viESA,"SENS:FREQ:SPAN 50 MHz\n");

/*Set the analyzer to single sweep mode */ viPrintf(viESA,"INIT:CONT 0 \n");

/*Trigger a sweep and wait for sweep to complete */ viPrintf(viESA,"INIT:IMM;*WAI\n");

/* Specify units in dBm*/ viPrintf(viESA,"UNIT:POW DBM \n");

/*Set analyzer trace data format to ASCII Format*/ viPrintf(viESA,"FORM:DATA ASC \n");

/*Trigger a sweep and wait for sweep to complete */ viPrintf(viESA,"INIT:IMM;*WAI\n");

/*Query the Trace Data using ASCII Format */

viQueryf(viESA,"%s\n", "%#t","TRAC:DATA? TRACE1" , &iNum , cResult);

/*Remove the "," from the ASCII trace data for analyzing data*/ cToken = strtok(cResult,",");

/*Save trace data to an ASCII to a file, by removing the "," token*/ fTraceFile=fopen("C:\\temp\\ReadAscGpib.txt","w"); fprintf(fTraceFile,"ReadAscGpib.exe Output\nAgilent Technologies 2000\n\n"); fprintf(fTraceFile,"\tAmplitude of point[%d] = %s dBm\n",lCount+1,cToken);
