Reading Trace Data Using ASCII Format (RS-232)

/************************************************************/

/* Reading Trace Data using ASCII Format (RS-232)		*/
/*		*/
/* This example is for the E44xxB ESA Spectrum Analyzers		*/
/* and E740xA EMC Analyzers.		*/
/*		*/
/* This C programming example does the following.		*/
/* The SCPI instrument commands used are given as		*/
/* reference.		*/
/*		*/
/* - Opens an RS-232 session at COM1/COM2		*/
/* - Clears the Analyzer		*/
/* - Resets the Analyzer		*/
/*	*RST	*/
/* - Set the input port to the 50 MHz amplitude reference		*/
/*	CAL:SOUR:STAT ON	*/
/* - Query for the number of sweep points (for firmware		*/
/*	revisions A.04.00 and later). Default is 401.	*/
/*	SENS:SWE:POIN?	*/
/* - Set the analyzer to single sweep mode		*/
/*	INIT:CONT 0	*/
/* - Sets the analyzer center frequency and span to 50 MHz		*/
/*	SENS:FREQ:CENT 50 MHZ	*/
/*	SENS:FREQ:SPAN 50 MHZ	*/
/* - Trigger a sweep		*/
/*	INIT:IMM	*/
/* - Check for operation complete		*/
/*	*OPC?	*/
/* - Specify dBm Unit		*/
/*	UNIT:POW DBM	*/
/* - Set the analyzer trace data ASCII		*/
/*	FORM:DATA: ASC	*/
/* - Trigger a sweep		*/
/*	INIT:IMM	*/
/* - Check for operation complete		*/
/*	*OPC?	*/
/* - Query the trace data		*/
/*	TRAC:DATA? TRACE1	*/
/* - Remove the "," from the ACSII data		*/
/* - Save the trace data to an ASCII file		*/
/* - Close the session		*/
