GETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROGRAMMING 2 - 1 2 GETTING ST ARTED WITH SCPI PROGRAMMING 2.1 Preparations for SCPI Programming T o program your CombiScope instrument, you need a system setup and a programming envir onment. V arious program example s (refer to PROGRAM EXAMPLE:) are given in the following section s.
2 - 2 G ETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROG RAMMING The parameters of thes e drivers are defined by the device handler GPIB.COM and by the QuickBASIC prog ram code. The following drive rs and pa rameters ar e used in the program examples: • The IEEE-488.2 driver "Send " is used to send a command or query to an instrument.
GETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROGRAMMING 2 - 3 • <response> A response string sent by the i nstrument as a response to a query . • <eot> An "end of text" indication: 0 = program.
2 - 4 G ETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROG RAMMING 2.2 Initializing the CombiScope Instrument 2.2.1 How to reset the CombiScope instrument The instrument itself can be reset by sending the * RST command. This sets th e instrument to a fi xed setup optimized for remote o peration.
GETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROGRAMMING 2 - 5 2.3 Error Reporting Instrument errors are u sually caused by programmin g or setting errors. They are reported by the in strument during the execu tion of each comman d. T o ma ke sure that a program is running properly , you must query the instrument for possible er - rors after every functional command.
2 - 6 G ETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROG RAMMING 2.4 Acquiring T races T race acquisitions are starte d via the INIT iate commands. A sin gle acquisition is done by sending a single INIT iate command. Continuou s acquisitions are done by sending the INIT iate:CONT inuous ON command.

USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 1 3 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3.1 Introduction This chapter explains how to access the functions of the CombiS cope instruments family in a re mote p rog rammin g en viro nmen t.
3 - 2 USI NG THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS As the example already shows, the co mmands are easy to learn and self- explanatory to both novice and expert user s. The learning curve is considerably decreased for new i nstruments or in strument functio ns with which the programmer is no t familiar .
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 3 3.2 Fundamental Programming Concepts The remote operation of your CombiScope instrumen t can be accessed using different programming concepts. The concept to be cho sen depends upon the application of the instrument in the remote programming enviro nment.
3 - 4 USI NG THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS T rade-off: This way of progr amming is cumbersome and tricky , because additional information on the front panel disp lay is not always available remotely . Example: DISPlay:MENU TRIGger Activates the TRIGGER softkey menu.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 5 The measurement instructions are easy to use and do not require any special knowledge of the instrumen t. The programming concept reduces simple measurement tasks with complex instruments to simple instructions, leaving the setup complexity to the instrument.
3 - 6 USI NG THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS Functions in a particular subsystem are always controlled by commands that begin with the name of that subsystem. For example, a command that programs the input coupling is INPut:COUPling DC. All programmable sett ings can be queried easily .
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 7 Example for the instrument cursor settings: Send → SYST em:SET? 32 Queries the oscilloscope for the instrument settings o f node 32, which are the cursor settings. Read ← <settings> Reads the cursor settin gs.
3 - 8 USI NG THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3.3 Measuring Signal Characteristics As explained in section 3.2.1 "Measure ment instructions", the measurement instruction set is a ne w approach in the remote op eration of programmable instruments. This instruction set allows you to reque st a particular characteristic of the input sig nal.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 9 3.3.2 Benefits of using parameters The generic form of a me asurement instruction is as follows: MEASure[:VOL T age]:<measure_function>? [[<voltage_para.
3 - 10 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS Examples: MEASure:AMPLitude? This query measures the amp litude of a waveform at the default inp ut channel 1. After the acquisition, the resulting ampli tude is returned. MEASure:VOL T age:AMPLitude? 10, (@2) This query measures the amplitude of a signal at channel 2 (@2).
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 11 3.3.3 W a veform measurements The following figure show s the terms used for pulse measurements and the key words that are used as header node s in th e mea surement instructi ons. The reference high and low parameters determine the de sired interval for ri se time and fall time me asurements.
3 - 12 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS Examples: MEASure:F ALL:TIME? (@3) Measures the time inter val during which the p ulse at channel 3 decrea ses from 90% to 10% of its amplitude. MEASure:RISE:TIME? 20,80 Measures the tim e interval during whi ch the pulse at the d efault channel 1 increases from 20% to 80% of its ampli tude.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 13 3.3.4 Customizing settings Often, you need more precise control of the me asurements than possible with the MEASure? query . The combination of CONFigure and READ? is pro vided to allow you to progra m one or more setti ngs that are vital to your applicatio n.
3 - 14 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS READ? Requests to execute the default DC measuremen t. Since this is not possible with the ch osen configuration, an execution error is gen erated and no result is returne d. CONFigure:RISE:TIME Configures the CombiScope instrument to perform a rise time measurement.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 15 READ:FREQuency? Starts the acquisition and returns the measu red frequency . READ:FREQuency? Starts a next acquisition and returns the new frequency result. READ:FREQuency? Etc. 3.3.6 Multiple characteristics from a single acquisition.
3 - 16 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.3.7 T rigger control via GPIB Y ou need a separate GPIB command to start a measurement synchronize d with other instruments. This is done by sending the * TRG command or the GET (Group Execute T rigger) co de.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 17 3.3.8 Fetching characteristics from memory traces The FETCh? query not on ly allows you to determine a cha racteristic from the last acquired waveform, it a lso allows you to calculat e a signal characteri stic from a waveform that is stored in a trace memory element.
3 - 18 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.4 Acquisition 3.4.1 Acquisition control Several commands exist to control the acqu isition process. The following diagram shows the possible states of the acquisition process, and the way they ar e affected by commands.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 19 or by setting INIT iate:CO NT inuous to ON. The INIT iate[:IMMediate] command causes the CombiScope instrument to perform one complete acquisition cycle. Upon completion of the cycle the instrument returns to the IDLE state.
3 - 20 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.4.1.1 T riggering After the measurement is in itiated, the CombiScope instrumen t starts the real acquisition when the trigger conditions are satisfie d, e.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 21 T rigger Slope The TRIGger:SLOPe command allo ws you to define th e trig ger edge for all inp ut channels, which can be POSitive, NEGative, or EITHer . After a * RST command the TRIGger:SLOPe is set to POS itive.
3 - 22 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS DC COUPLING (0 Hz cutoff frequency): DC coupling causes the signal to be passed over the full bandwidth (from 0 Hz to 60/100/200 MHz). PROGRAM EXAMPLE: *** *** Select DC coupli ng on input signal channel 2. SENSe:FUNCtion:ON "X TIMe:VOLTage2" Sets CH2 on.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 23 LF-REJECT (30 KHz cutoff fr equency): LF reject (HF passed) ca uses the signal to be passed from the cu toff fre quency (30 KHz) to the full bandwidth freque ncy (60/100/2 00 MHz). PROGRAM EXAMPLE: TRIGger:FILTer:LPASs :STATe ON Sets Low-Pass filter on + cutoff freq uency = 0 Hz (DC coupling).
3 - 24 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS The video trigger mode can be program med to field1, fi eld2, or lines using th e TRIGger:VIDeo:FIELd... commands. The video trigger line can be programme d using the TRIGger:VIDeo:LINE comma nd. The video system can be selected using the TRIGger:VIDeo:FORMat:.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 25 3.4.1.3 The trigger modes A combination of the INIT iate:CONT inuous and TRIGger:SOURce command allows you to define the following trigger mode s: T able 3.
3 - 26 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS Only in the single-shot and mu ltiple-shot trigger mode (INIT iate:CONTinuous OFF), the bits 3 (SW Eeping) and 5 (W aiting for TRIGger) in the OPERation status are valid. Also the Operation Complete bit (OPC bi t 0) in the standard Event Status Register (ESR) is va lid.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 27 3.4.1.4 Pre- and post-trigger ing When pre-trigg ering is selected, the real tr ace acquisition begins b efore the moment that the trigger occurs.
3 - 28 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.4.1.5 External triggering External triggering is o nly possible for the PM33x0B Comb iScope instruments. Channel 4 is used as the externa l trigger channel with the following view possibilities: - a ttenuator positions 0.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 29 3.4.2 Reading trace acquisitions Once acquisitions are completed, the resulting tr aces ares placed in TRACe memory , as shown in the following figure. The last acquired trace at input channel 1 is placed in the TRAC e memory element named CH1.
3 - 30 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.4.2.1 Single-shot acquisition PROGRAM EXAMPLE: In this example a single-shot trace acquisition is done via channel 1.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 31 3.4.3 Conversion of trace data The trace data is sent as a block of binary codes. T race samples can be formatted to consist of 8 bits (1 byte) or 16 bits (2 bytes) codes, which can be selected by the FORMat command.
3 - 32 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.4.3.1 Conversion of 8-bit samples to in teger As an example a conversion of a trace of 512 "8-bit" samples is shown. The format is as follows: PROGRAM EXAMPLE: In this example a trace acquisitio n of 1 byte samples is done.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 33 3.4.3.2 Conversion of 16-b it samples to integer As an example a conversion of a trace of 512 "16-bit" samp les is shown. The format is as follows: PROGRAM EXAMPLE: In this example a trace acquisitio n of 2 byte samples is done.
3 - 34 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.4.3.3 Conversion to voltag e values Screen positions correspon d to voltage values. This relation is shown in the figure below , and is determine d by the settings that are programmed by th e SENSe:VOL T age:RANGe:PTPeak and SENSe:VOL T age:RANGe:OFFSet commands.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 35 PROGRAM EXAMPLE: In this program example a trace of 51 2 samples from the actual signal at input channel 1 is read. The received data block is converted to an array of voltages. After each sample conversion the voltage value is printed.
3 - 36 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.5 A veraging Acquisition Data Acquired traces and measured signal characteristics can be averaged over a number of acquisitions. The preprocessing A V ERAGE function of the CombiScopes instruments can be enabled by using the SENSe:A VERage[ST A T e] command.

3 - 38 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.6 Channel Selection Input channels can be swi tched on or of f by using the SENSe:FUNCti on[:ON] or SENSe:FUNCtion:OFF commands. An in put channel is selected by specifying the parameter "XTIMe:VOL T age<n>", where the numeric suf f ix <n> specifies the input channel n umber .
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 39 3.7 Signal Conditioning The INPut subsystem allows you to condition the input signals, such as AC/DC/GROund coupling, in put filteri ng, and input impedance selection.
3 - 40 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.7.2 Input filtering The INPut:FIL T er command allows you to turn the common low-pass filter (bandwidth limiter) on or off for all inp ut channels at the same time. The cutof f frequency is fixed at 20 MHz. After a * RST command, the filter is turned of f.
USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRUMENTS 3 - 41 Because the programm ed PTPe ak and OFFSet values dire ctly af fect the trace values, they can be used to calculate the voltage amp litud e of the corresp on ding trace samples.
3 - 42 USING THE COMBISCOPE INSTRU MENTS 3.8 Time Base Control In the digital mode, the SENSe:SWEep:TIME:AUTO command allows you to enable autora nging of the main timeb ase (MTB). 3.8.1 Number of samples The TRACe:POINts command all ows you to set the number of sample points, which is the total acquisition length for all traces.
