- Improving Measurement Speed
- Turn off the display updates.
- Use binary data format instead of ASCII
- Minimize the number of GPIB transactions.
- Avoid unnecessary use of *RST.
- Put ADC Ranging in Bypass for FFT Measurements
- Minimize DUT/instrument setup changes.
- Consider using LAN instead of GPIB.
- Using an Option Mode: Minimize the number of GPIB transactions.
- Using an Option Mode: Avoid automatic attenuator setting.
- Using an Option Mode: Optimize your GSM output RF spectrum switching measurement.
- Using an Option Mode: Avoid using RFBurst trigger for single burst signals.
- Using an Option Mode: When making power measurements on multiple bursts or slots, use CALCulate:D...
