BXC Exchange Trace B and Trace C

BXC

Exchange Trace B and Trace C

Syntax

BXC ;

Legacy Products

8566A/B, 8568A/B

Description

The BXC command exchanges Trace B data with Trace C data.

NOTE

Trace C must not be an active trace. This means that the data in Trace C cannot be

 

updated as the analyzer sweeps. To ensure that the current settings of the analyzer

 

are reflected in the data exchanged between Trace B and Trace C, you must follow

 

the four step process below.

Select single sweep mode (S2 or SNGLS command)

Select the desired analyzer settings

Take one complete sweep

Exchange the data

NOTE

The functions of the command BXC are identical to the KSi command (page 197)

 

and to the XCH TRB,TRC command (page 354).
