U3042AE12 Controlling the Test Set with N5230A
Data:
Positive integer is used to select switch position or state of DUT control interface line.
Refer to Table 16 on page 62 through Table 23 on page 65.
Address and data are separated by a period. Entries should be separated by a new line, or
carriage return.
For example:
0.0
16.1
32.2
The front-panel Enter key inserts a new line into the field. The number of Test Set I/O
entries that can be entered is limited only by the available memory of the PNA. See “Test
Set I/O Interface Commands” on page 61.
Dwell After Command:
Specifies a wait time, in milliseconds, after all commands to all interfaces are sent. Any
positive integer is allowed. This is used to allow all external devices to settle before
beginning a measurement. An erratic trace could indicate that more settling time is
necessary.
Reset All:
Sets all fields on all channels to their default values.
Save and Recall:
Saves and recalls the contents of the dialog box. If the Interface Control dialog box is
populated with settings during an Instrument State Save, the settings are automatically
recalled with the instrument state settings. Interface control uses an *.xml file type. An
example file is stored on the PNA hard drive. You can recall it into the dialog, or you can
open and edit it with a word processor, such as Word Pad.
