Programming Guidelines<br />

1. Perform the measurement manually, keeping track of the sequence of functions used.<br />

2. In the written program, execute an instrument preset (IP) <strong>and</strong> set single-sweep mode<br />

(SNGLS) before setting other spectrum analyzer functions.<br />

3. Use variables for function values. List variables at the beginning of the program,<br />

4. Activate spectrum analyzer functions in logical order. Place quotation marks around<br />

spectrum analyzer comm<strong>and</strong>s. Separate comm<strong>and</strong>s with semicolons.<br />

5. After setting spectrum analyzer functions, execute a take sweep (TS) comm<strong>and</strong> before<br />

reading data or activating markers.<br />

6. The spectrum analyzer can return only one value per programming line. Do not have more<br />

than one query per programming line.<br />

7. Use the exclamation point (!) to include comment lines when using <strong>HP</strong> BASIC. Use the<br />

apostrophe or REM to create comment lines when using GW BASIC. (The use of the<br />

exclamation point <strong>and</strong> the apostrophe to create comment lines are dependent on the<br />

your system.)<br />
