(Read-Write) When a PNA setting is made while a sweep is in progress, the sweep is immediately aborted by default. This command allows you to change that behavior by specifying a time threshold. When a setting change is made during a sweep and if the total sweep time is less than the threshold time, then the sweep is allowed to finish instead of immediately aborting.

For example, with a threshold setting of 60 seconds:

• Sweeps that require 60 seconds or less from start to finish will be allowed to complete if a PNA setting change is made at any time during the sweep.

• Sweeps that require MORE than 60 seconds from start to finish will be immediately aborted when a PNA setting change is made at any time during the sweep.

Notes:

• In general, PNA setting changes that could cause an aborted sweep are changes that affect how a measurement is made, such as changes in stimulus conditions.

• Sweep times are estimated.

• This setting affects ALL channels.

Parameters

<value>

Threshold time in seconds. Set to 0 to immediately abort a sweep when a PNA setting is made.

Examples

SYST:ABOR:THR 10

'When a setting is made during a sweep, if that sweep requires less than 10 seconds more to complete, it will be allowed to finish instead of aborting.

Query Syntax

SYSTem:ABORt:THReshold?

Default

0 - No threshold time; all sweeps are immediately aborted.

(Read-only) Returns the number of the active channel or an error message if there is no active channel. The active channel is the channel number that contains the active measurement.

Examples

SYST:PRES
SYST:ACT:CHAN?

'Returns 1

Return Type

Integer

Default

Not Applicable

(Read-only) Returns the name of the active measurement or an error message if there is no active measurement. While looking at the PNA display, the active measurement is the trace that has a highlighted Tr#  in the Trace Status area. Only displayed measurements can be active.

Examples

SYST:PRES
SYST:ACT:MEAS?

'Returns "CH1_S11_1"

Return Type

(Read-Write) Sets and reads the state of channel coupling. This causes the PNA to emulate Agilent 8720 channel coupling.

When set to ON, all existing S-parameter channels receive the stimulus settings of the active channel. Subsequent changes made to any coupled channel are changed on all coupled channels.

Channels with applications such as SMC, VMC, GCA, Noise, IMD are not affected.

Coupling is primarily aimed at stimulus settings (such as start, stop, points, power) but also applies to many trigger settings and to Cal Set pointers.

Parameters

<bool>

ON (or 1)  Channels are coupled

OFF (or 0)  Channels are NOT coupled

Examples

SYST:CHAN:COUP 1

system:channels:couple:state OFF

(Read-only) Returns the ID string of power meters / sensors that are connected to the PNA USB. Use the list to select a power sensor for a source power cal.

These meter/sensor ID strings can NOT be used as the resource string for configuring a USB-based PMAR (SYST:CONF:EDEV:IOConfig).

Parameters

Examples

Return Type

Comma-delimited strings. Two power sensor strings are separate by a semicolon.

Default

Not applicable

(Read-only) Queries the TCP/IP port number to use for opening a TCP/IP socket control connection to the PNA.  The control connection is used for two purposes:

1. To perform a Device Clear operation on the PNA

2. To detect when a Service Request (SRQ) event occurs on the PNA.

The port number can range from 5000 to 5099. The PNA will skip over 5025 as it is being used for the primary socket connection.

To detect an SRQ, your program sends the appropriate commands via the regular socket connection to set up for a SRQ event to occur the same sequence of commands as if you were sending them via GPIB.  You write your program so that while your program is doing SCPI transactions on the standard socket connection, a second thread of execution in your program detects the SRQ on the control connection and responds to the event.  When the SRQ event occurs, the PNA sends a SRQ +xxx/n message on the control connection (where /n is linefeed character, ASCII value 10 decimal).  The xxx value in the SRQ +xxx/n string is the IEEE 488.2 status byte at the time the SRQ was generated.  So listening for that on the control connection is how your program detects the event.  If for your socket communication youre using a software API that provides for asynchronous communication via a callback mechanism (for example, if youre using Microsofts winsock API, or their .NET Socket class as in the example program below), in that case your listener execution thread is created implicitly for you so your program doesnt have to create one explicitly.

Note: If this SCPI query is sent to the PNA via a SCPI parser other than a TCP/IP socket connection (for example, if sent via GPIB), the query is not applicable in that case and will return value of 0.

Parameters

None

Example

See example program

Return Type

(Write-only) Launches either the Calibration Wizard or the Version 2 Calibration Kit File Manager dialog box.

Remote operation returns immediately after the dialog is launched. This is done to avoid timeout issues with I/O protocols such as VISA. Although it is possible to send commands to the PNA while the dialog is open, this is not encouraged. Application programs should wait until the dialog is closed before resuming remote operations.

Parameters

<char>

Choose from:

MAIN - Launches the Calibration Wizard which matches the current channel, such as standard S-params, NoiseFigure, GCA, and so forth.

CKIT - Launches the Version 2 Calibration Kit File Manager dialog box.

Both display on the PNA screen.

Examples

SYST:CORR:WIZ MAIN
system:correction:wizard:immediate ckit

Query Syntax

Not Applicable

Default

Not Applicable

(Read-only) Returns the next error in the error queue. Each time the analyzer detects an error, it places a message in the error queue. When the SYSTEM:ERROR? query is sent, one message is moved from the error queue to the output queue so it can be read by the controller. Error messages are delivered to the output queue in the order they were received. The error queue is cleared when any of the following conditions occur:

• When the analyzer is switched ON.

• When the *CLS command is sent to the analyzer.

• When all of the errors are read.

If the error queue overflows, the last error is replaced with a "Queue Overflow" error. The oldest errors remain in the queue and the most recent error is discarded.

See list of all SCPI Errors.

Examples

SYST:ERR?
system:error?

Default

Not Applicable

(Read-only) Returns the number of errors in the error queue. Use SYST:ERR? to read an error.

(Write-only) Saves the current instrument settings as UserPreset.sta.  Subsequent execution of SYSTem:UPReset will cause the PNA to assume this instrument state.

Regardless of the state of the User Preset Enable checkbox, the SYST:PRESet command will always preset the PNA to the factory preset settings, and SYST:UPReset will always perform a User Preset.
