Programming examples

Using GPIB commands, the 85330A can be set up prior to run-time followed by an GPIB command to pass run-time control to the 85330A. This is called

run-time control mode. The 85330A can also directly control switch states and issue triggers using GPIB commands. This is called direct control.

BASIC is used for all examples. To address the 85330A, a secondary GPIB address is needed. In most cases the complete GPIB address would be

70918:

•

“7” refers to the select code of the GPIB address.

•

“09” is the GPIB address of the 85330A multiple channel controller.

•

“18” is the secondary address of the E1330A/B DIO card. This is a board that is inside the multiple channel controller.

The GPIB commands have a long and short form. The upper-case characters represent the short form and the complete set of characters represent the long form. Example, ROUTe:CLOSe is the complete or long from of the GPIB command while the abbreviated or short form is ROUT:CLOS.

Definition of Terms

NOTE

NOTE

Please review the following terms before reading information in this chapter.

SCU address

At the factory, each Switch Control Unit is assigned an address called an

SCU address. When commands are sent out port 1 or port 2, they only affect

SCUs with the specified SCU address. SCU addresses are set using DIP switches inside the SCU, and can be set to 0, 1, 2, or 3. In a standard system, the factory default setting is 0. For custom-designed systems, refer to the documentation that came with that system for SCU address numbers.

Daisy-chained SCUs may use the same SCU address.

Channel

Each switch module has either two or four possible switch positions, or channels. If you purchased a switching system designed by Agilent, you also have received a manual that applies specifically to that switch tree. That document shows the channel numbers for each switch. If you have purchased a “standard” system, then channels 1 through 4 are the factory default channel numbers. (Channels 3 and 4 only apply to four-throw switches.)

Ports 1 and 2 are addressed independently. Because of this, there are no addressing conflicts when using two SCUs—even if they use the same SCU address and channel numbers.

Switch address

This is the complete software address for a specific switch. It is simply a concatenation of the SCU address (0, 1, 2, or 3) with the channel number

(usually 1, 2, 3, or 4, but possibly a number up to 64 in custom systems).

Examples:

@103 = SCU address 1 and channel 3 selected.

@2 = SCU address is 0 (and need not be specified), and channel 2 is selected.

@232 = SCU address is 2 and channel 32 is selected (custom systems only).

The port number (1 or 2) is specified separately, as is explained later in this chapter.

To Choose a Measurement Configuration

To Choose a Measurement Configuration

Programming

The measurement configuration you use depends on the type of measurement (CW or multiple-frequency) and the type of system

(one-source or two-source system). One-source systems use the Agilent

8511A/B frequency converter, two-source systems use the Agilent 85309A frequency converter.

Refer to

Figure 6-1 .

How to Use the Figure

Follow the flow chart from the top. Determine if your measurements are made with a single frequency (CW) or multiple frequencies. Proceed down the appropriate flow chart path. Proceed in this way until you get to a box that mentions one of the following headings:

Configuration

CW Measurement Configuration

In single-frequency measurements, the Fast Source Control mode is not used. The RF source (and LO source, if used) can either be controlled by:

•

The 8530A (set the sources to Analyzer Language mode), or...

•

The system computer (set the sources to SCPI Language mode).

Refer to the programming

“Example 1” on page 6-21 .

The proper setup is shown in

Figure 1-2 on page 1-4 . Use the 8530A Fast

Autoranging Data Mode (GPIB command: FASAD ), explained in Chapter 8 of the Agilent 8530A User’s Guide.

Configuration

Programming

Single Source Multiple-Frequency Configuration


In single-source (8511A/B based) systems, the Fast Source Control mode is

not available. The RF source is controlled by the 8530A (Analyzer

Language mode). The proper setup is shown in

Figure 1-2 on page 1-4 .

The Fast Data Acquisition modes of the 8530A cannot be used with this type of measurement. Instead, the multiple parameter display of the 8530A is used to measure each switch input.



When using the multiple parameter display feature, the minimum switch settling time (RUNT:SWIT:DEL) is 50 µ s. Using shorter settling times in multiple parameter display mode can cause measurement problems

Here is an overview of how measurements are made in this configuration.

Remember, GPIB commands must be immediately followed by a semicolon when entered into an actual program. For example NUMEB1;.

8530A settings

•

Select multiple parameter display mode on the 8530A. The number of parameters selected should equal the number of test signals you are measuring. For example, assume you have a two-throw receive switch connected to two test signals. In this case, program the 8530A for two parameter display GPIB command TWOP.

This is the equivalent of pressing [DISPLAY] {DISPLAY MODE} {TWO PARAMETER}.

•

Set each parameter to measure the same input ratio. For example, set them all to measure b1/a1. The numerator and the denominator are defined below:

❍

❍

The numerator is the input port (of the frequency downconverter) that is connected to the common port of the receive switch. Set this using the GPIB NUMEB1, NUMEB2, NUMEA1, or NUMEA2 command. This is equivalent to pressing PARAMETER {MENU} {REDEFINE PARAMETERS}

{NUMERATOR}, then {NUMERATOR: b1}, {NUMERATOR: b2}, {NUMERATOR: a1}, or

{NUMERATOR: a2} .

The denominator is the input port that is connected to the reference signal. Use the DENOA1, DENOA2 , or DENOB1 command. This is equivalent to pressing PARAMETER {MENU} {REDEFINE PARAMETERS}

{DENOMINATOR} , then {DENOM.: a1}, {DENOM.: a2} , or {DENOM.: b1}.


Programming


This setup allows the 8530A to measure each receive switch input in sequence. Each one is measured as a separate parameter, which you can read using the system computer. Refer to the GPIB Programming chapter of the

Agilent 8530A Operating and Programming Manual for detailed information.

•

Select external triggering with TRGEXT . This is equivalent to pressing

STIMULUS {MENU} {MORE} {TRIGGER MODE} {TRIG SRC EXTERNAL} . This command is described in the Stimulus chapter of the Agilent 8530A

Operating and Programming Manual.

•

Set the 8530A so it waits for a trigger before measuring each parameter.

You can do this by issuing PAR1TON, PAR2TON, PAR3TON, and PAR4TON . This is equivalent to pressing STIMULUS {MENU} {MORE} {TRIGGER MODE} , then ensuring that {PARAM 1}, {PARAM 2}, {PARAM 3} , and {PARAM 4} are activated

(underlined). These commands are described in the Stimulus chapter of the Agilent 8530A Operating and Programming Manual.

You only have to send the PARTON commands that relate to the parameters

that are actually being measured. For example, if you are only measuring

Parameter 1 and Parameter 2, PAR1TON and PAR2TON are the only two commands that must be executed.

NOTE You can issue all four of these commands even if you are measuring only two or three parameters. The extra commands will simply be ignored.

85330A settings

•

When the source is under 8530A control, the multiple channel controller must be set to the IMMediate triggering mode:

RUNT:SOUR:SOURCE1:TRIG IMM;

•

Use GPIB address 19 for the RF source.

Dual Source Multiple-Frequency Measurements

Dual Source Multiple-Frequency Measurements

When you are using multiple-frequency measurements with an 85309A frequency converter, you can choose how the sources are controlled:

•

You can allow the 8530A to control source frequency switching, or...

•

You can use the Fast Source Control configuration, where source frequency switching is controlled by the multiple channel controller.

8530A Control of Sources

If you choose to control source frequency switching with the 8530A (and you are using the dual source multiple-frequency configuration), you cannot use the Fast Data Acquisition modes of the receiver. Refer to the programming


Operation in this mode is nearly identical to that described in

“Single Source

Multiple-Frequency Configuration” on page 6-5 . When the sources are

under 8530A control, the multiple channel controller must be set to the

IMMediate triggering mode:



Use GPIB address 19 for the RF source, and 18 for the LO source.


Programming

Fast Source Control

Description

Fast Source Control

Fast source control speeds up frequency switching speed in multiple-frequency measurements. It is only available in 85309A-based systems. This mode uses TTL signals to increment RF and LO source frequency, providing faster frequency switching speeds than are possible under 8530A control.



In the fast source control configuration, the system’s computer must set up the sources with appropriate frequency settings, triggering mode, and so on.

When automatic run-time measurement mode is engaged, the 85330A automatically increments the RF and LO source frequencies using TTL lines. When being controlled by a computer, the SCPI language mode must be selected. This is shown in

Figure 1-3 on page 1-5 .

Fast Data Acquisition can be used in this configuration. Use the 8530A Fast

Autoranging Data Mode (GPIB command: FASAD ), as explained in Chapter 8 of the Agilent 8530A User’s Guide.

8530A settings

In the 8530A Local menu, the addresses for Source 1 and Source 2 must be set to 31. This tells the 8530A that it cannot communicate with the sources.

85330A settings

Since the 8530A does not control the sources, set the multiple channel controller to TTL triggering mode:

RUNT:SOUR:SOURCE1:TRIG TTL;

RUNT:SOUR:SOURCE2:TRIG TTL;

Source settings

•

Use Frequency List or Step mode.

•

Sweep Point Trigger must be set to EXT:

SWE:TRIG:SOUR EXT;

•

Start Sweep Trigger must be set to AUTO:

TRIG:SOUR IMM;

The Sweep Point Trigger and Start Sweep Trigger settings allow external triggers from the 85330A to trigger the sources.

85330A Multiple Channel Controller

Programming

To Use Direct Control


Selecting a Channel

Direct control is where the host computer issues GPIB commands and the

85330A executes them immediately. For example, the ROUTe:CLOSe

(port number) (switch address) command causes the 85330A to immediately change switch states.

Here are examples of how to select a channel.

Example 1, for a standard system

OUTPUT 70918; “ROUT:CLOS 1,(@2);”

Switch port 1, default SCU address (0), channel 2 selected.

In this example, the BASIC OUTPUT command is used to output a command to the 85330A. The command, ROUT:CLOS 1,(@2); is sent to GPIB address

70918 (the 85330A). This command string would:

•

Activate switch port 1.

•

Address the SCU (which is set at the factory to SCU address 0). Since the default address is being used, the SCU address is not required, and is not specified in the command.

•

Select channel 2.

Example 2, for a typical custom system

OUTPUT 70918; “ROUT:CLOS 2,(@110);”

Switch port 2, SCU address 1, channel 10

The command ROUT:CLOS 2,(@110); is sent to GPIB address 70918 (the

85330A). This command string would:

•

Activate switch port 2.

•

Address any SCU, or SCUs, at SCU address 1.

•

Select channel 10. “110” is the switch address and is defined as the concatenation of the SCU address and the channel number.


Programming


NOTE

6-10

Other examples:

OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 2,(@103);”

Switch Port 2, SCU address 1, channel 3.

OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@2);”


OUTPUT 70918,”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@132);”


Sending multiple switch addresses is possible. In the following example:

•

An example is provided for standard systems (SCU address 0).

•

An example is provided for a typical custom system, with an SCU address of 1.

Both examples select channel 1, 2 and 3 in sequence.

Because the switches are SP2Ts or SP4Ts, when a channel on a module is closed, all other channels on that module are open. For example, when 1 is closed, 2, 3 and 4 are open; when 2 is closed, 1, 3, and 4 are open.

OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@1,2,3);” example for standard systems

OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@101,102,103);”

example for custom systems

Another method of executing the above command is

OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@1:3);” example for standard systems

OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@101:103);” example for custom systems

The colon : represents 1 through 3 (or 101 through 103).

To set a delay between the closing of each switch state, the ROUTe:DELAy command is used. The input parameter is time in micro-seconds.

10 OUTPUT 70918;”*RST;”

Reset the 85330A.

20 OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:DELA 10000;”

Set the time between switch states in micro-seconds.

30 OUTPUT 70918;”ROUT:CLOS 1,(@101:104);”

Close switch state 101 through 104.



In this example:

•

The 85330A is reset using the *RST command.

•

A delay between switch states is specified.

•

Channels 101, 102, 103 and 104 are selected in sequence.

To Use Run-Time Control Mode


Setup of the

85330A Multiple

Channel Controller

The setup for run-time operation includes setting:

•

The event triggering method

•

The number of frequency points

•

The number of angular increments

•

List of switch states

•

Switch settling time

•

TTL trigger and ready timeouts

•

Using more than one controller

Once the 85330A is set up, send the RUNT:INIT:IMM command to begin run-time operation.

Figure 6-2 on page 6-16 is a flow chart that illustrates the

run-time measurement sequence. Commands are described in

Chapter 7,

“Remote Programming Command Reference.”

Event Triggering

During run-time operation, the 85330A may use two different types of event triggering, TTL or IMM. Most angle scan measurements will be set up for

TTL triggering, while TTL triggering can be suppressed for a frequency response measurement, typically at a single angle. Also, this IMM mode combined with the *OPC?

command is useful for determining timing information of a multiple-frequency, multi-parameter measurement.

Applicable command: RUNTime:EVENte:TRIGger

Number of Frequency

Points

The 85330A does not require a start, stop, or frequency step size. In fact, it does not require any frequency values. It only needs to know the number of frequency points so it can issue the correct number of triggers.

Applicable command: RUNTime:SOURce:COUNt

Number of Angular

Increments (Events)

The 85330A does not require any angular values. It only requires the number of angular increments so it can issue the correct number of triggers.

Applicable command: RUNTime:EVENt:COUNt

List of Switch States

One must set up the list of channel addresses for the measurement. For each event trigger received by the 85330A, each channel address entry will be asserted and a subsequent trigger issued to begin a measurement of each data point.

Applicable command: RUNTime:SWITch:SCAN


Switch Settling Time

NOTE

TTL Trigger and

Ready Timeouts

Programming


You must specify switch settling time before starting run-time mode. The default setting is 2 µ s.

If your configuration requires you to use the multiple-parameter display features of the 8530A, as described in

“Single Source Multiple-Frequency

Configuration” on page 6-5 , set settling time to 50

µ s. This applies to:

•

The single source multiple-frequency configuration.

•

The dual source multiple-frequency configuration, but only when the

8530A controls the sources.

Applicable command: RUNTime:SWITch:DELay

Timeout conditions are used for:

•

Event triggering (EVENT TRIG)

•

Receiver ready (RCVR READY)

•

Source ready lines (SRC 1 READY and SRC 2 READY)

Timeouts enable the 85330A to recover from possible error conditions.

The timeout for the event trigger input has two separate timeout settings:

•

One timeout is for the first trigger being issued.

•

The other timeout is for subsequent triggers.

If the expected signal is not received before the specified time, the 85330A will exit from run-time operation and issue an error.

Applicable commands:

•

RUNTime:TIMEout:EVENt

•

RUNTime:TIMEout:RECeiver

•

RUNTime:TIMEout:SOURce

Mode

Run-Time

Measurement

Sequence

More than one multiple channel controller may be used in a system.

Multiple controllers are usually used when the distance to a switch control unit exceeds the maximum length allowed. The REMOTE 1 and REMOTE 2 connectors on the rear panel allow connections to multiple controllers. See

Chapter 9, “Service” for more information on these connectors.

To set up and control the remote controller, use these commands:

•

RUNTime:CONTroller

•

RUNTime:TIMEout:REMote

•

RUNTime:SWITch:TRIGger

The remote controllers can be triggered using the commands:

•

RUNTime:SOURce:SOURCE1:TRIGger

•

RUNTime:SOURce:SOURCE2:TRIGger

Issue the RUNT:INIT:IMM command to initiate the run-time operation. This command passes the hardware control to the 85330A and allows it to accept and issue triggers.

OUTPUT 70918;"RUNT:INIT:IMM;”

Once the sequence is initiated the 85330A either:

•

Waits for an event trigger before issuing a trigger to the receiver,

OR:

•

Immediately issues a trigger to the receiver.

This is set using the RUNT:EVEN:TRIG command.

Refer to

Figure 6-2, “Run-Time Flow Chart with Programming Command

References,” on page 6-16 . The chart shows the sequence of a run-time

measurement. Programming commands applicable to each function are shown. All programming commands must be executed before run-time is initiated. Here is a description of the run-time measurement sequence:

Idle

This is the idle state of the 85330A. This also the state the unit enters if an error occurs during run-time. Run-time mode is started when RUNT:INIT:IMM is executed.

Select Switch State

The first switch state is selected for Port 1 or Port 2, as defined with the

RUNT:SWIT:SCAN command. A delay now occurs to allow the switch to settle, defined with RUNT:SWIT:DEL .


Programming


Event Trigger

If TTL triggering has been selected, the 85330A waits for an Event Trigger pulse before sending a measurement trigger to the receiver. If IMM triggering has been selected, the measurement trigger is sent to the receiver immediately. The trigger mode is selected using RUNT:EVEN:TRIG . If a timeout occurs while waiting for Event Trigger, run-time is aborted and an error message is issued. The timeout duration can be set using the RUNT:TIME:EVEN command.

Receiver Ready

The 85330A now waits for the Receiver Ready signal (from the receiver), indicating that the 8530A is ready to take another measurement. If a timeout occurs while waiting for Receiver Ready, run-time is aborted and an error message is issued. The timeout duration can be set using the RUNT:TIME:REC command.

Switch List Loop

If all switch settings defined in RUNT:SWIT:SCAN have not been measured, the next switch state is asserted and the settling time delay occurs. Another measurement trigger is sent to the receiver, and the 85330A waits for

Receiver Ready again. This loop continues until all defined switch states have been measured.


Programming


Figure 6-2 Run-Time Flow Chart with Programming Command References


Programming


Frequency Loop

After all switch states have been measured at the first frequency, the measurements can now be repeated at the next frequency. Here are the steps that occur during the frequency change:

•

The first switch state is asserted once more, and the settling time delay occurs.

•

If source 1 triggering is set to TTL (applicable for fast source control mode), a frequency-incrementing trigger is sent to source 1, and the

85330A waits for the TTL Ready signal before continuing. If a timeout occurs while waiting for TTL Ready, run-time is aborted and an error message is issued. The timeout duration can be set using the

RUNT:TIME:SOUR command. When TTL Ready is received, the 85330A checks the triggering mode of source 2.

If source 1 triggering is set to IMM (applicable for measurements where the sources are controlled by the 8530A), the 85330A immediately checks the triggering mode of source 2.

•

If source 2 triggering is set to TTL (applicable for fast source control mode), a frequency-incrementing trigger is sent to source 2, and the

85330A waits for the TTL Ready signal before continuing. If a timeout occurs while waiting for TTL Ready, run-time is aborted and an error message is issued. The timeout duration can be set using the 85330A

RUNT:TIME:SOUR command. When TTL Ready is received, the 85330A re-enters the Switch List Loop so all switch states will be measured at the new frequency.

If source 2 triggering is set to IMM (applicable to measurements where the sources are controlled by the 8530A), the 85330A immediately re-enters the Switch List Loop so all switch states will be measured at the new frequency.

Event Loop

Once all switch states have been measured at all frequencies, the next

“event” can be measured. This would be the next angle in an antenna measurement system. Stated generically, this is a full repetition of measurements at all switch states and frequencies for the next “event.” An

“event” being whatever has occurred that caused another Event Trigger signal. The number of events in the measurement is defined using the

RUNT:EVEN:COUN command.

The sequence now loops back to START EVENT, which is at the beginning of the event loop. The event loop repeats, measuring all switch states at each frequency until the number of event loops is completed. When finished, the

85330A exits run-time mode and goes into the idle state.


Programming


Run-Time

Measurement

Sequence for Multiple

Controllers

The run-time measurement sequence for multiple controllers is similar to a single controller shown earlier. See

“Starting Run-Time Mode” on page 6-14

for more information on this sequence. The sequence for multiple controllers has additional steps to allow communications between the controllers. Refer to

Figure 6-3 on page 6-19 and

Figure 6-4 on page 6-20

for the actual run-time measurement sequence.

Using IMM vs. TTL

Trigger for Source 1

Refer to “Source 1 IMM, TTL or REM1 trigger diamond in

Figure 6-3 .

When using multi frequencies:

•

The RF Source controlled by the master 85330A should use the TTL trigger.

•

The other RF Source (not controlled by the master 85330A) should use the IMM trigger.
