Using the Network Analyzer to Control the Test Set

Restoring the Analyzer to its Normal Configuration

Restoring the Analyzer to its Normal

Configuration

It is a good idea to restore the analyzer to its normal configuration once you are finished using the analyzer to control the test set. To accomplish this, use the following procedure:

Step 1. Type q in the command window, then press the <Enter> key. This terminates the interactive control session on the analyzer.

Step 2. In the analyzer window, click System on the menu bar, then scroll down to Configure, then click SICL/GPIB.

Step 3. In the SICL/GPIB window, click Talker/Listener and then OK. This allows other devices to control the analyzer.
