R&S FSQ Signal Analyzer - Rohde & Schwarz

R&S FSQ Remote Control – Description of Commands
GPIB Commands of HP Models 856xE, 8566A/B, 8568A/B and 8594E
6.23 GPIB Commands of HP Models 856xE, 8566A/B,
8568A/B and 8594E
6.23.1 Introduction
The R&S FSP analyzer family supports a subset of the GPIB commands of HP models 8560E, 8561E,
8562E, 8563E, 8564E, 8565E, 8566A, 8566B, 8568A, 8568B and 8594E.
Despite the differences in system architecture and device features, the supported commands have been
implemented in a way to ensure a sufficiently high degree of correspondence with the original.
This includes the support of syntax rules for not only newer device families (B and E models) but for the
previous A family as well.
In many cases the selection of commands supported by the R&S FSQ is sufficient to run an existing
GPIB program without adaptation.
The device model to be emulated is selected manually by means of the key sequence SETUP - GEN-
ERAL SETUP - GPIB - GPIB LANGUAGE via the GPIB using the SYSTem:LANGuage command.
To make it possible to also emulate device models that are not part of the selection list of the GPIB LAN-
GUAGE softkey, the identification string received in response to the ID command can be modified (key
sequence SETUP - GENERAL SETUP - GPIB - ID STRING USER). This allows any device model to be
emulated whose command set is compatible with one of the supported device models.
6.23.2 Command Set of Models 8560E, 8561E, 8562E, 8563E, 8564E,
8565E, 8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8591E, 8594E, 71100C, 71200C, and
71209A
As with the original units, the R&S FSQ includes the command set of the A models in the command set
of the B models.
The HP model 8591E is compatible to HP model 8594E, the HP models 71100C,
71200C, and 71209A are compatible to HP models 8566A/B.
