N9061A General Rules and Limitations
Supported Commands
Only a subset of the 8566/8568/8560 Series commands is supported in this application (through a GPIB interface). The list of supported commands was determined by feedback from our customers combined with technical considerations and constraints.
EP is the enable parameter in the 8560 series that, when used as a secondary keyword after a command, transfers control and allows front panel operator entry. This command is supported in the N9061A application for the same active functions as the 8560 series, but is not displayed in any of the format diagrams for individual commands.
The N9061A application supports the OA parameter that is found in several legacy commands such as AT and CF. OA is the equivalent of a query so that “CF OA” has a return value equivalent to “CF?”.
Device clear is supported by the N9061A application and causes a mode preset of the signal analyzer.
Unsupported Commands and Queries
If a command is valid for legacy products but not supported by the N9061A application, there will be no error message generated, although the Command Log file will note a "Command Not Supported" comment. Note that this logging behavior can be controlled via the preferences menu.
If a query is valid for legacy products but not supported by the N9061A application, it will return a "0" over the GPIB bus to prevent a program from hanging.
