Planar TR1300/1
COM/DCOM Programming manual
Introduction
This Programming Manual contains information on remote control over Planar
TR1300/1 Network Analyzer (Analyzer) and its data communication by means of user
programs written with COM/DCOM technology.
COM technology is used when a user program runs together with an external
measurement instrument program on one PC. DCOM technology is used when a user
program runs on a PC connected with the measurement instrument by LAN.
Methods and techniques for writing of user programs are same for the both
technologies. The only difference between the technologies is that the DCOM
technology requires additional LAN setting performed by the LAN administrator.
Before reading this Manual, familiarize yourself with Planar TR1300/1 Operating
Manual.

COM/DCOM Programming manual
COM Technology Overview
COM stands for Component Object Model. This programming technology was
developed by Microsoft for two purposes:
the model provides the specification for interaction of binary
modules created in different programming languages;
the model defines the interfacing between a client application and a
server application running either on the same PC or on two different
PCs. In the latter case, the technology has DCOM abbreviation –
Distributed COM.
2
Automation Server
The PlanarTR1300.exe application contains a built-in COM server that enables other
programs to access its functionality. The PlanarTR1300.exe application COM server
was developed in conformity with the COM automation specification. COM automation
is a technology allowing control over the COM server by the programs written in both
traditional compiling programming languages and interpreting programming languages,
such as VBScript. This enables the server applications to make their functionality
accessible to many more clients.
3
Automation Controllers
Automation controllers are client programs, which use internal functionality of COM
servers. Automation controller programs are developed by users for writing their own
add-ons for the system.
User programs can be written in different languages:
programming languages with built-in COM support, such as Visual
Basic®, Delphi, Java;
universal programming languages, such as C, C++;
Microsoft Excel and Word office applications as they include built-in
programming language Visual Basic for Applications®;
program generators, such as National Instruments LabView®, or
HP–VEE.
Examples represented in this Manual are written in Visual Basic (VB). Appendix 3
contains examples written in VB, and C++ languages.
Examples\COM\VBA folder contains source codes for examples written in Visual Basic
for Applications® (Microsoft Excel files).
Examples\COM\CPP folder contains source codes for the C++ language examples.

COM/DCOM Programming manual
Local and Remote Server
PlanarTR1300.exe application can function either as a local server or as a remote server
of COM automation.
Local server runs on the same PC with the automation controller and each of the
programs is executed as an individual application in a separate window. COM
technology is used in this case (Figure 1).
Remote server and the automation controller run on different PCs connected by LAN.
DCOM (Distributed COM) technology is used in this case (Figure 2). When using
DCOM it is necessary to configure the local network by means of DCOM Windows
tools.
COM technology is normally used to control Planar TR1300/1.
The same automation controller is used for the both COM and DCOM technology.
Some changes to the user program may be required in operators, which establish
connection with the server. Moreover, DCOM technology requires additional settings of
the LAN performed by the LAN administrator.

COM/DCOM Programming manual
Structure of COM Objects
COM server contains several objects, which provide different functionality of the
server. The COM objects of the PlanarTR1300.exe application are organized in a
hierarchical structure. Figure 3 shows the main COM objects, which comprise the first
three levels of the hierarchical structure of the PlanarTR1300.exe application COM
objects. COM objects provide various methods and properties, which allow access to
the server functions; besides, they allow access to the objects of the lower levels, which
are not shown in Figure 3.

Planar TR1300/1
Note
COM/DCOM Programming manual
The hierarchy of COM objects is organized in accordance with
the standard and syntax of the SCPI programming language.
Operators in SCPI have hierarchical chain structure, for
example:
CALCulate:PARameter:DEFine S11
The same COM command written in VB programming
language is as follows:
app.SCPI.CALCulate.PARameter.DEFine = "S11"
6
Accessing the Application Object
To establish connection with the COM server application, create an object reference in
the client program. In COM programming the object reference needs to be acquired
preliminarily, to be used later to access the object functionality. To define an object in
Visual Basic perform the following:
1) Declare a variable as an object.
2) Assign the object to this variable.
To declare a variable, use Dim operator or other declaration statement (Public, Private
or Static). The variables used for references should of the types Variant, Object, or a
type of a specific object. For example, the following three operators declare app
variable:
Dim app
Dim app as Object
Dim app as TR1300.Application
Use Set operator and CreateObject (ObjectName, HostName) function to assign a
specific object to a variable.
ObjectName
Automation object name is always equal to “TR1300.Applcation”
HostName
Network name of the PC hosting the PlanarTR1300 COM server. This
parameter is not specified in case of a local server.
For example, the following operators create Application object and assign it to app
variable:
11
Planar TR1300/1
COM/DCOM Programming manual
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Applcation")
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Applcation", "Network_Name")
Note
The first form of the operator is used to create the reference to
the local COM server, the second one is used to create the
reference to the remote DCOM server.
To allow access to the objects of a lower level of the hierarchy, these objects are
specified after the reference to the higher level object and separated from it by a dot. For
example:
Dim SystObj
Set SystObj = app.SCPI.SYSTem
COM objects can have indices. For example, CALCulate, INITiate, SENSe, SOURce
objects represent various aspects of the 4 measurement channels of the Analyzer.
Therefore, it is necessary to write the channel index from 1 to 4 to acquire the data of
these objects. For example:
Set SensObj1 = app.SCPI.SENSe(1)
Set SensObj2 = app.SCPI.SENSe(2)
Visual Basic allows omitting of such indices; in this case the indices are considered as
equal to 1. For example, the following VB operators are equivalent:
Set SensObj = app.SCPI.SENSe(1)
Set SensObj = app.SCPI.SENSe

COM/DCOM Programming manual
Object Methods
Objects have methods. Methods are actions that can be applied to objects. The object
methods are specified after the object name and separated from it by a dot.
The following example shows the PRESet method of SYSTem object. This method
performs setting of the Analyzer to the preset condition:
app.SCPI.SYSTem.PRESet
8
Object Properties
Along with methods, objects have properties. Properties are object characteristics that
can be set or read out. The object properties are specified after the object name and
separated from it by a dot.
To modify an object characteristic, write the value of the corresponding property. To
define an object characteristic, read out the value of its property. The following example
show the setting of the POINts property of SWEep object, i.e. the number of sweep
points:
app.SCPI.SENSe.SWEp.POINts = 201
Note
Some object properties cannot be written, and some object
properties cannot be read. In such cases, the properties are
indicated as “read only” or “write only”.

Error Handling
You can use different approaches to error handling in VB program:
check the value of Err.Number variable after execution of VB
operator, which contains the call to TR1300 object;
use On Error goto VB operator.
These approaches are represented in the examples below. The following operator causes
an error in VB program as "S13" value of the DEFine property is incorrect.
app.SCPI.PARameter.DEFine = "S13"
In the first example, the value of the Err.Number variable is checked after execution of
the VB operator, which contains the call to TR1300 object. On Error Resume Next
directive instructs VB not to interrupt the program execution when the error is detected
but to pass control to the next operator in natural order.
Dim app
Public Sub HandleError1()
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Application")
On Error Resume Next
app.SCPI.PARameter.DEFine = "S13"
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Msg = "Error # " & Str(Err.Number) & " was generated by " &_
Err.Source & Chr(13) & Err.Description
MsgBox Msg,,"Error"
End If
...
End Sub
14
Planar TR1300/1
COM/DCOM Programming manual
In the second example, On Error GoTo ErrHandler directive instructs VB to interrupt
the program execution when the error is detected and to pass control to ErrHandler
label.
Dim app
Public Sub HandleError2()
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Applcation")
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
app.SCPI.PARameter.DEFine = "S13"
...
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
Msg = "Error # " & Str(Err.Number) & " was generated by " &_

COM Automation Data Types
In COM automation, there are the following data types, which can be used for client-toserver communication:
Long
32-bit signed integer, value range from –2147483648 to 2147483647
Double
64-bit double-precision floating point,
value range from
–1.79769313486232E308 to –4.94065645841247E–324 for negative
values, and from 4.94065645841247E–324 to 1.79769313486232E308
for positive values
Boolean
16-bit integer, two values 0 – False, 1 – True
String
Variable-length string
Variant
Can be either a value of arbitrary type or an array of values of arbitrary
type. In this case, the term “arbitrary type” means any allowed type of
COM automation. A variable contains information about its type and
array size (if it is an array). It is used for communication of data arrays
between a client and a server.

Measurement Data Arrays
Measurement data can be either complex values or real values. This depends on the
format selected by the user. For example, the data is real in logarithmic magnitude
format and the data is complex in polar format.
The measurement data is transferred in a Variant type variable, which represents an
array of Double type. To transfer one complex measurement, two adjacent array cells
are used. To transfer one real measurement two adjacent array cells are used as well but
the second cell is always equal to 0. Thus, measurement data array size is a double
number of the measurement points.

Appendix 2. Programming Examples
Example 1. Instrument Information String Readout
The following program reads out and displays on the screen the instrument information
string – the Name property of the COM object. The string contains the following fields:
Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Software Version/Firmware Version
For example:
Planar, Planar TR1300, 00000001, 0.6.9/ 1.0
Dim app As Object
Sub Example1()
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Application")
ID = app.Name
MsgBox ("Information string read out: " + ID)
End Sub
239
Example 2. Checking the Instrument Ready State
Normally, the user control program starts when the PlanarTR1300.exe application is
running, the instrument booting is completed, and the instrument is ready for use. In
some cases, it is recommended to check if the instrument is ready for use. The
instrument may be not ready for use if it is not connected to PC via USB cable.
Moreover, if the PlanarTR1300.exe application has not been started in advance, the
CreateObject function will automatically start the application and then within about 10
seconds the instrument booting will be in progress. The instrument will not be ready for
use until the booting is completed. The Ready property is used to check if the
instrument is ready for use.
The following program checks the Ready property right after a COM object has been
created. If the PlanarTR1300.exe application has been started in advance and the
booting is completed, “Analyzer is ready” will be displayed. If the Ready property
value is False, 10 second delay is activated for the case the PlanarTR1300.exe
application has been started by the COM object creation. In 10 seconds the program
rechecks the Ready property. If the value is True, “Analyzer is ready” will be displayed,
if otherwise, “Analyzer is not ready” will be displayed, what means the instrument is
not connected to LAN or it is not connected to PC via USB cable.
Dim app As Object
Sub Example2()
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Application")
If app.Ready = False Then
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:10"))
If app.Ready = False Then
MsgBox ("Analyzer is not ready")
Exit Sub
End If
End If
MsgBox ("Analyzer is ready")
End Sub
240
Example 3. Setting the Measurement Parameters
The following program shows the setting of some measurement parameters. First, the
instrument is reset to the factory settings. Then the following parameters are set:
• Two channel windows are opened and allocated one above the other.
• The number of traces is set to 2 in the first channel window.
• For the first channel the stimulus parameters are set as follows: the frequency
range from 100 MHz to 1.2 GHz, the number of measurement points 401.
• For the second channel the stimulus parameters are set as follows: the frequency
range from 800 MHz to 900 MHz, the number of points 51, IF bandwidth 100 Hz,
stimulus power –10 dBm.
• In the first channel window: S11 measurement is set for the trace 1, S21
measurement is set for the trace 2. The Smith chart format is set for the both traces.
• In the second channel window: S21 measurement and logarithmic magnitude
format are set for the single trace. Then the auto scale function is called for this trace.
Dim app As Object
Public Sub Example3()
Set app = CreateObject("TR1300.Application")
app.SCPI.SYSTem.PRESet
app.SCPI.DISPlay.Split = 2

app.SCPI.Calculate(2).Selected.Format = "MLOG"
app.SCPI.DISPlay.Window(2).TRACe(1).Y.SCALe.AUTO
End Sub
242
Example 4. Measurement Data Acquisition
The following program shows data array acquisition with further writing into a file. The
program also shows the method of a sweep triggering and waiting for the sweep
completion.
Three variables F, M, P are declared in the second string of the code. They are used for
arrays of frequency values (Hz), magnitude values (dB), and phase values (degree)
respectively.
After the instrument has been reset to the factory settings, two operators are used for the
sweep triggering and waiting for the sweep completion:
app.SCPI.TRIGger.SEQuence.Source = "BUS"
app.SCPI.TRIGger.SEQuence.Single
The first operator sets the LAN bus command or the COM/DCOM interface command
as a trigger source. It aborts the sweep and switches the instrument to waiting for a
trigger. The second operator is used for a new sweep triggering and waiting for the
sweep completion.
Note
and
Unlike
the
SCPI.TRIGger.SEQuence.IMMediate
SCPI.IEEE4882.TRG commands, which are completed
immediately
after
a
trigger
generation,
the
SCPI.TRIGger.SEQuence.Single command is not completed
until
the
end
of
the
sweep.
Using
the
SCPI.TRIGger.SEQuence.Single command is the simplest way
to set the waiting for the sweep completion.
On completion of the sweep, three arrays are read out: frequency values, magnitude
values and phase values. Before the magnitude and phase arrays are read out, the
corresponding trace format is set.
The array size of frequency F is equal to the number of measurement points, and the
array size of magnitude M and phase P is equal to the double number of measurement
points (see section 11 “Measurement Data Arrays”). In rectangular formats (for
magnitude and phase) the measurement data are real numbers located in even cells of
the array. Odd cells of the array contain 0.
On completion of the program, the frequency, magnitude and phase values for each
measurement point are written string by string into the file named TESTFILE.

Dim F, M, P

Example 5. Program Written in C++
