Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio Measurement Description
How is an adjacent channel leakage ratio measurement made?
Adjacent channel l eakage rati o measures the rel ati ve power at 5 MHz and 10 MHz offsets fr om the upl i nk
channel . Power i s measured through a Root-Rai sed Cosi ne (RRC) fi l ter wi th a rol l off of =0.22, and a
bandwi dth equal to the chi p rate (3.84 MHz). The 5 MHz measurements are referred to as the upper and
l ower fi rst adjacent channel s; the 10 MHz measurements are referr ed to as the upper and l ower second
adjacent channel s. Thi s measurement i s defi ned i n 3GPP TS 34.121, secti on 5.10, v3.2.0, Adjacent Channel
Power Leakage Rati o (ACLR).
Measurements for i ndi vi dual offsets can be turned off to i ncr ease measurement speed when these
measurements are not needed.
Measurements can be di spl ayed i n ei ther numeri c or graphi cal form. When the graphi cal di spl ay i s used
(shown bel ow), l i mi ts can be set for each offset to for m a l i mi t l i ne. When a l i mi t i s exceeded, the status

(RRC) fi l ter wi th a rol l off of =0.22, and a bandwi dth equal to the chi p rate (3.84 MHz).
Thi s i s the power measurement to use for the Transmi t Off Power test (3GPP TS 34.121, secti on 5.5.1, v3.2.0).
Al though i t i s speci fi ed up to +28 dBm, the channel power measurement i s not as accurate as the thermal
power measurement at hi gher power l evel s. Use the thermal power measurement to measure Maxi mum
Output Power (3GPP TS 34.121, secti on 5.2). See Thermal Power Measur ement Descri pti on .
Differences in Thermal Power and Channel Power Measurement Results
Because the channel power measurement i s a fi l ter ed (band-l i mi ted) measurement, i ts resul ts are typi cal l y
about 0.25 dB l ower than the thermal power measurement resul ts.
Input Signal Requirements
Thi s measurement does not autorange, ther efore the expected power l evel from the mobi l e stati on (UE) i s
set usi ng the cur rent MS Target Power setti ng, or by usi ng manual r ecei ver power control and speci fyi ng
the expected power l evel . See Recei ver Control .
The fr equency of the si gnal bei ng measured must be i n the range of 800 MHz to 1000 MHz, or from
1700 MHz to 1990 MHz.
The l evel i nto the test sets RF I N/OUT connector must be i n the range of -61 dBm to +28 dBm, i n a
3.84 MHz bandwi dth.
Trigger Source
The tr i gger source defaul ts to Auto for the channel power measurement, and tri es to use pr otocol tr i ggeri ng i f

How is a Loopback Bit Error Ratio measurement made?
When the test set measur es l oopback bi t err or r ati o, i t sends a known data pattern on the downl i nk dedi cated
tr affi c channel (DTCH) to a mobi l e stati on (UE) that i s confi gured i n l oopback mode 1 (see 3GPP TS 34.109.
v3.1.0). The mobi l e stati on decodes the data and r e-transmi ts i t on the upl i nk DTCH. The test set anal yzes the
upl i nk data to see how cl osel y i t matches the data bi ts ori gi nal l y sent on the downl i nk. The measurement
resul t i s the r ati o of i ncor rectl y r ecei ved bi ts to the total bi ts sent to the UE, expressed at a per centage (%).
Thi s measurement i s typi cal l y perfor med at l ow cel l power l evel s to measure the sensi ti vi ty of the mobi l e
stati ons recei ver; the l ower the l evel of si gnal that the mobi l e stati on can recei ve and sti l l corr ectl y decode the
data, the better the sensi ti vi ty. The recei ver sensi ti vi ty test i s descri bed i n 3GPP TS 34.121, secti on 6.2, v3.2.0,
Reference Sensitivity Level. Thi s measurement can al so be used for the Maximum I nput Level test, 3GPP TS
34.121, secti on 6.2, v3.2.0.
The number of data bi ts to send duri ng the measurement i s sel ectabl e by the user. However, the actual
number of bi ts used to anal yze the data i s al ways the l argest even mul ti pl e of the number of bi ts needed to fi l l
a DTCH transpor t bl ock for the transmi tted for mat. For the 12.2 kbps r efer ence measurement channel (RMC)
used i n FDD Test oper ati ng mode, the tr ansport bl ock i s 244 bi ts.
Mobile Station (UE) Control During FDD Test Mode Operation
The FDD Test oper ati ng mode does not pr ovi de radi o bearer setup control of the mobi l e stati on (UE) for test
mode operati on. The operator must confi gur e the mobi l e stati on i n l oopback mode 1 and synchroni ze i t to the
test sets downl i nk si gnal i n order to make thi s measurement i n FDD Test operati ng mode. Refer to FDD Test
Oper ati ng Mode .
The upl i nk tr ansport format must i ncl ude both the DTCH and the DCCH; however, onl y the DTCH
i nformati on i s used for the l oopback bi t er r or rati o measur ement.
Input Signal Requirements
The expected power i nto the test set must be set i n or der to mai ntai n the l i nk wi th the mobi l e stati on. Thi s
i s done usi ng the MS Target Power setti ng or by usi ng manual recei ver power control and speci fyi ng the

Thermal Power Measurement Description
How is a thermal power measurement made?
Thermal power i s a broadband, unfi l tered measurement that measures al l power pr esent at the test sets RF
I N/OUT connector usi ng a thermal detector. Because of i ts hi gh accuracy when measuri ng power up to +28
dBm, thi s i s the preferred measurement to use for hi gher power measurements, such as the Maxi mum Output
Power test (3GPP TS 34.121, secti on 5.2, v3.2.0).
The ther mal power measurement automati cal l y zeroes i tsel f for each measurement; no other cal i brati on i s
requi red. To meet speci fi ed performance, the test set must be operated i n the temperature range of 20 C to
55 C.
The ther mal power measurement i s not as fast as the channel power measurement, and i s not i ntended to
measure si gnal l evel s bel ow -10 dBm. Use the channel power measurement to measure power l evel s fr om
-11 dBm to -61 dBm, or when maxi mum measurement speed i s r equi red. See Channel Power Measurement
Descri pti on on page 37.
Differences in Thermal Power and Channel Power Measurement Results
Because the thermal power measurement i s an unfi l tered measurement, i ts resul ts are typi cal l y about 0.25 dB
hi gher than the fi l tered channel power measurement resul ts.
Input Signal Requirements
For thi s measur ement the test sets recei ver uses auto-r angi ng to adjust for the l evel of the si gnal bei ng
measured; ther efore the expected si gnal l evel does not need to be speci fi ed duri ng measurement setup.
For speci fi ed accuracy, the frequency of the si gnal bei ng measured must be i n the range of 800 MHz to 1000
MHz, or 1700 MHz to 1990 MHz.
The l evel i nto the test sets RF I N/OUT connector must be i n the r ange of -10 dBm to +28 dBm for gr eatest
accuracy (al though si gnal s can be measured down to -20 dBm wi th degraded accuracy).
Thi s measurement i s unfi l tered, so al l si gnal s pr esent at the RF I N/OUT connector affect the measurement
resul ts.
Trigger Source
No synchroni zati on between the test set and the mobi l e stati on (UE) i s needed, so i mmedi ate tr i ggeri ng i s

Introduction
Syntax used in Programming Examples:
The programmi ng exampl es use the shortened form of the command syntax to mi ni mi ze GPI B bus
tr ansacti ons. The shortened form of a command i s defi ned by use of capi tal l etters i n the command syntax.
For the command syntax:
RFANalyzer:CONTrol:MEASurement:FREQuency:AUTO?
the shortened form woul d be:
RFAN:CONT:MEAS:FREQ:AUTO?
The programmi ng exampl es do not i ncl ude opti onal nodes. Opti onal nodes i n the command syntax are
defi ned by encl osi ng the node i nsi de the [ ] br ackets. For exampl e, the command syntax:
CALL[:CELL]:POWer[:SAMPlitude] -80dBm
appear s i n the programmi ng exampl es as:
CALL:POW -80dBm
Progr ammi ng exampl es make extensi ve use of compound commands usi ng the ; and the ;: separ ator s. Refer
to the on-l i ne i nformati on for the defi ni ti on and use of these command separators.
Complex Commands
Compl ex commands are used to confi gure the state and assi gn val ues to parameters si mul taneousl y. Compl ex
commands can be used to save progr ammi ng steps and mi ni mi ze GPI B bus tr ansacti ons.
The syntax bel ow turns the state of the parameter on.
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:DTXP:TI M:STAT ON"
The syntax bel ow i s used to assi gn a val ue to the parameter.
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:DTXP:TI M:TI ME 10 S"
Both of the above acti ons can be accompl i shed wi th one syntax command:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:DTXP:TI M:STI M 10 S"
The command above sets the par ameter state to ON and the val ue of the parameter to 10 seconds. Note
that i n thi s exampl e the opti onal command mnemoni c :STI Me has been i ncl uded to cl ari fy that thi s
compl ex command was used to set both the state and the val ue.
Thi s command can be shortened further by removi ng the opti onal command mnemoni c :STI Me, as shown
bel ow.
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:DTXP:TI M 10 S"
Thi s i s the format that wi l l be used throughout thi s gui de.

You can speci fy whi ch cl osed l oop power control bi t sequence i s sent on the downl i nk DPCCH.
Set Expected Uplink Power
You must speci fy what upl i nk power l evel the test set shoul d expect. You can do thi s one of two ways.
You can set the MS Target Power (once Acti ve Cel l mode i s i mpl emented i n the test set, thi s command wi l l
force the user equi pment to the speci fi ed output power. I n FDD Test Mode, si nce the 8960 i s not performi ng
acti ve cl osed l oop power control of the upl i nk, thi s command does not change the user equi pments output
power ). Setti ng the MS Target Power automati cal l y sets the r ecei vers expected power accor di ngl y.
CALL:MS:POW:TARG <>
You can al so set the recei ver s expected power by setti ng control of the expected power to manual (automati c
off) and then setti ng the expected power val ue, as shown i n the pr ogrammi ng exampl e bel ow.
Set Expected Uplink Frequency
You must i ndi cate to the 8960 at what frequency the user equi pment wi l l tr ansmi t. (Unl i ke other technol ogi es,
i n W-CDMA the upl i nk channel i s not automati cal l y determi ned based on the downl i nk channel . The offset
between the upl i nk and downl i nk may vary based upon whi ch band cl ass you are operati ng i n. So, you must
speci fy the upl i nk fr equency.) You can speci fy the expected upl i nk fr equency by channel or by frequency.
To speci fy the expected upl i nk channel , send the fol l owi ng command:
CALL:UPL:CHAN <>
I f you choose to speci fy the fr equency r ather than the channel , you must fi rst set control of the expected
fr equency to manual (automati c off), and then set the upl i nk frequency, as shown i n the programmi ng exampl e
bel ow.
For some testi ng scenari os you may choose to perform measurements on a frequency other than that whi ch the
user equi pment i s usi ng for i ts si gnal i ng l i nk. To accommodate thi s, i n addi ti on to the commands to set
expected upl i nk channel or fr equency, there i s a command to set the measurement fr equency. To set the
measurement fr equency you must set measurement fr equency control to manual (automati c off) and then set
the measurement fr equency, as shown i n the pr ogrammi ng exampl e bel ow. Thi s i s onl y necessary i f you want
to perform measurements on a frequency other than the upl i nk channel or frequency.
Set Expected Uplink Primary Scrambling Code
You must i ndi cate to the 8960 what pri mary scrambl i ng code the user equi pment i s usi ng.

Measurement Count Parameters
The measurement count parameters control measurement averagi ng. The STATe command turns aver agi ng
on or off, and the NUMBer command determi nes the number of averages. The SNUMber command i s a
compl ex command whi ch al l ows you to turn averagi ng on and set the number of averages i n one command.
Example1. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;SET:DTXP:COUN 10
sets the mul ti -measurement count state to ON and set the number of averages to 10 for the di gi tal transmi t
power measurement.

Step 3: Set Measurement Parameters
Measurement Timeout Parameters Measurement ti meout parameters control the maxi mum ti me that a
measurement executes. TI Me sets the amount of ti me and STATe determi nes i f the ti meout i s i n use. The
STI Me command i s a compl ex command whi ch enabl es you to set both parameters i n one command.
Example2. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:DTXP:TIM 10"
sets the measurement ti meout state to ON and set the measur ement ti meout ti me to 10 seconds for the di gi tal
tr ansmi t power measurement.
Measurement Trigger Parameters There are three measurement tri gger parameters. They control the
armi ng of a measurement, the source of the tr i gger, and the tr i ggers del ay.
The tri gger ar m par ameter deter mi nes whether the test set makes one measur ement and then stops
(si ngl e), or automati cal l y re-arms upon compl eti on of one measurement and repeats the pr ocess
(conti nuous). The recommended setti ng when wri ti ng a control program i s si ngl e (CONTi nuous OFF).
The tri gger sour ce par ameter sel ects the sour ce of the measur ement tr i gger si gnal . The r ecommended
Tri gger Source setti ng when wri ti ng a control program i s AUTO.
NOTE Tri gger source i s al ways I MMedi ate for anal og measurements and cannot be changed by the user.
The tri gger del ay parameter control s the del ay between the tr i gger event (the poi nt i n ti me at whi ch the
tr i gger si gnal i s recei ved) and the start of sampl i ng. Negati ve val ues i ndi cate that the sampl i ng shoul d

Description
I n thi s step you make a connecti on between the mobi l e stati on and test set. How you do thi s depends upon
whether you are i n acti ve cel l or test mode. I n acti ve cel l mode you establ i sh a phone cal l between the test set
and mobi l e stati on. I n test mode, you command the mobi l e stati on to synchroni ze to the test sets si gnal and
begi n tr ansmi tti ng back an appr opri ate si gnal .
Contents
Establ i sh a Cal l i n Acti ve Cel l Mode
Make a Test Mode Connecti on
Establish a Call in Active Cell Mode
To test a mobi l e stati on i n acti ve cel l mode, you must fi rst establ i sh a cal l between the test set and mobi l e
stati on. Your control pr ogram must i ssue the commands necessary to i ni ti ate the cal l connecti on pr ocess,
ei ther to the test set (for a base stati on ori gi nated cal l ) or to the mobi l e stati on (for a mobi l e stati on or i gi nated
cal l ). Your control progr am must then deter mi ne when the cal l has successful l y connected so that i t can
pr oceed to testi ng. The control pr ogram must al so determi ne i f the cal l has not been successful l y connected so
that i t can take appr opri ate acti on.
Call States At any i nstant i n ti me a cal l can be i n a stabl e state such as the i dl e or the connected state, or i n
one of many transi tory states such as al erti ng, handoff, regi steri ng, rel easi ng or pagi ng. These ar e referred to
as tr ansi tory states because the amount of ti me whi ch the cal l can spend i n any of these states i s l i mi ted by
the mobi l e stati ons pr otocol . The cal l i s not al l owed to stay i n a transi tory state i ndefi ni tel y.
NOTE I f repeat pagi ng or repeat regi strati on are on, i t i s possi bl e for the cal l pr ocess to stay i n one of the
tr ansi tory states beyond the ti me speci fi ed by the mobi l e stati ons pr otocol ti mer s.

Step 4: Make Connection
Cal l -Connected-State Query
The CALL:CONN? query al l ows the control program to determi ne i f a cal l i s i n the connected state or i n the
i dl e state.
I f the cal l i s i n one of the transi tory states, the query wai ts unti l the cal l reaches the i dl e state or connected
state before returni ng a val ue.
Cal l -State-Change Detector Arm Command
The test set has a cal l -state-change detector whi ch can be used to tempor ar i l y hol d the r esponse to a
CALL:CONN? quer y unti l the cal l state has moved from i dl e to connected or vi ce ver sa.
Wi thout the cal l -state-change detector, the CALL:CONN? query onl y hangs i f the cal l i s i n a tr ansi tory
state. Otherwi se, i t i mmedi atel y returns a 1 or 0. Therefore, i f a cal l connecti on pr ocess i s started and the
CALL:CONN? quer y i s sent befor e the cal l state has transi ti oned fr om i dl e to one of the transi tory states,
the query i mmedi atel y returns a 0. Thi s i ndi cates that the cal l i s i n the i dl e state (and therefore that the
connecti on attempt fai l ed). I n real i ty, the cal l l i kel y connected, but not unti l after the CALL:CONN? query
i mmedi atel y returned a 0.
When the cal l -state-change detector i s armed dur i ng a connecti on attempt, i f the CALL:CONN? quer y i s
sent whi l e the cal l state i s sti l l i dl e, the query wai ts unti l the state changes to connected, and then returns
a 1.
The CALL:CONNected:ARM[:I MMedi ate] command i s used to ar m thi s cal l -state-change detector.
Cal l -State-Change Detector Ti meout Command
I f the cal l -state-change detector i s ar med and a cal l connecti on i s attempted but the cal l state never
changes from the i dl e state, the CALL:CONN? query hangs the bus. Thi s easi l y happens i f the mobi l e i s
badl y br oken, the mobi l e i s not connected to the test set, or no one pushes the send button on the mobi l e.
The CALL:CONNected:TI Meout command i s used to set the ti meout val ue for the cal l -state-change
detector.
The ti meout ti mer i s started whenever the cal l -state-change detector i s ar med, and shoul d be set to the
maxi mum amount of ti me the control program shoul d wai t between armi ng the detector and the begi nni ng
of the connecti on pr ocess (when the cal l state moves fr om the i dl e state). I f the ti mer expi res before the cal l
state has moved from the i dl e or connected state, the cal l -state-change detector i s di sarmed, whi ch rel eases

Manual Versus Automatic Receiver Control
Auto mode r ecei ver contr ol i s the defaul t for al l oper ati ng modes except CW (see CW Operati ng Mode ).
Usi ng automati c recei ver control , the recei vers expected power and frequency setti ngs are set

Manual mode can be used to over r i de some or al l of the automati c recei ver setti ngs. You can manual l y set
the recei ver s expected power, the measur ement downconverters tune frequency (Measurement

CALL SETUP key, pr ess the More key unti l 3 of 3 i s di spl ayed, and sel ect Receiver Control (F12). See Fi gur e
11. Sel ecti ng Auto or Manual Recei ver Control .
I n CW oper ati ng mode, r ecei ver contr ol i s accessed by pr essi ng F12.
Expected Power
To make accur ate measur ements, the test set needs to know how much power to expect at i ts RF I N/OUT por t;
thi s i s referred to as the Expected Power. I f a measurement uses autorangi ng (such as the thermal power and
ACLR measurements), the expected power l evel i s cal i brated by the test set before maki ng the measurement
and does not need to be set by the user. For measurements that do not use autorangi ng, i t gets the expected
power val ue fr om the MS Target Power setti ng duri ng automati c recei ver control , or by the user speci fyi ng the
Manual Power val ue wi th the recei ver Power Control set to Manual . Refer to Fi gure 11. Sel ecti ng Auto or
Manual Recei ver Control .
The test set uses the expected power l evel to establ i sh a range of acceptabl e i nput l evel s i nto i ts recei vers. I f
the recei ved si gnal i s above or bel ow the acceptabl e range, an Over Range or an Under Range message i s
di spl ayed and the i ntegri ty val ue for the measurement i s set to 5 or 6 (respecti vel y).
You can enter an expected power l evel setti ng that i s beyond the actual capabi l i ty of the test sets har dware.
Thi s i s because expected power i s i ntended to refl ect the potenti al range of RF power at the mobile station
(UE). Thi s range of RF power i s meant to accommodate the use of a gai n or l oss network between the mobi l e
stati on and the test set. See Ampl i tude Offset on page 47 for detai l s about enter i ng ampl i tude offsets.
The upper and l ower l i mi ts of expected power provi de boundari es for the combi nati on of ampl i tude offset and
expected power. I f you set expected power to +52 dBm and the ampl i tude offset to 3 dB, the cal cul ated
recei ver power wi l l be +49 dBm, but the test set shal l be set to +43 dBm, the upper l i mi t of the hardware.
GPIB Equivalent Commands for Receiver Control
The fol l owi ng setti ngs control the test sets r ecei vers:
Power Control (Except for CW Mode)
The expected power fr om the mobi l e stati on (UE) i s set manual l y by enabl i ng manual power control usi ng
theRFANal yzer:CONTrol :POWer:AUTO command, and by usi ng the
RFANal yzer :MANual :POWer[:SELected] command to set the l evel .
CW receiver power
When usi ng the CW operati ng mode, the expected power fr om the mobi l e stati on i s set manual l y usi ng the
RFANal yzer :CW:EXPected:POWer command.

Receiver Control
Measurement receiver frequency
Measurement recei ver fr equency commands are used to manual l y tune the test sets measurement
downconverter i nput si gnal path (see Bl ock Di agram ). Thi s path i s used by the channel power, wavefor m
qual i ty, and adjacent channel l eakage rati o measurements.
The commands are:
RFANal yzer :MANual :MEASurement[:MFRequency] (to speci fy a fr equency and turn manual mode on)
RFANal yzer :CONTrol :MEASurement:FREQuency:AUTO (to turn manual mode on/off)
RFANal yzer :MANual :MEASurement:FREQuency (to speci fy a fr equency)
Demodulation (uplink) receiver frequency
Demodul ati on recei ver fr equency commands are used to manual l y tune the test sets demodul ati on
downconverter i nput si gnal path (see Bl ock Di agram ). The demodul ati on downconverter si gnal path i s part
of the functi on that demodul ates i nformati on from the mobi l e stati ons (UE) upl i nk channel transmi ssi on. Thi s
path i s used by the l oopback bi t error rati o measurement.
The commands are:
RFANal yzer :MANual :UPLi nk[:MFRequency] (to speci fy a fr equency and turn manual mode on)
RFANal yzer :CONTrol :UPLi nk:FREQuency:AUTO (to tur n manual mode on/off)

Effects on Receiver Control When Changing Operating Mode
After sel ecti ng the operati ng mode and setti ng one or more recei ver control s to manual , the recei ver control
setti ngs r emai n as you set them unti l you change operati ng mode. Changi ng operati ng mode causes some or

Condition Register
A condi ti on i s a test set state that i s ei ther TRUE or FALSE (a GPI B command error has occurr ed or a GPI B
command err or has not occur r ed). Each bi t i n a Condi ti on Regi ster i s assi gned to a par ti cul ar test set state. A
Condi ti on Regi ster conti nuousl y moni tors the hardware and fi rmware states assi gned to i t. There i s no
l atchi ng or bufferi ng of any bi ts i n a Condi ti on Regi ster ; i t i s updated i n real ti me. Condi ti on Regi sters are
read-onl y. Condi ti on Regi sters i n the test set are 16 bi ts l ong and may contai n unused bi ts. Al l unused bi ts
return a zero val ue when read.
Transition Filters I n the test set, the Transi ti on Fi l ters are i mpl emented as two regi ster s: a 16-bi t posi ti ve
tr ansi ti on (PTR) regi ster and a 16-bi t negati ve tr ansi ti on (NTR) regi ster.
For each bi t i n the Condi ti on Regi ster, a Transi ti on Fi l ter bi t determi nes the state transi ti ons whi ch wi l l set a
correspondi ng bi t i n the Event Regi ster. Transi ti on Fi l ter s may be set to pass posi ti ve transi ti ons (PTR),
negati ve transi ti ons (NTR) or ei ther (PTR or NTR). A posi ti ve transi ti on refers to a condi ti on bi t whi ch has
changed fr om 0 to 1. A negati ve transi ti on refers to a condi ti on bi t whi ch has changed fr om 1 to 0.
A posi ti ve tr ansi ti on of a bi t i n the Condi ti on regi ster wi l l be l atched i n the Event Regi ster i f the corr espondi ng
bi t i n the posi ti ve tr ansi ti on fi l ter i s set to 1. A posi ti ve transi ti on of a bi t i n the Condi ti on regi ster wi l l not be

Regi ster wi l l be l atched i n the Event Regi ster i f the corr espondi ng bi t i n both transi ti on fi l ters i s set to 0.
Transi ti on Fi l ter s are read-wri te.
Transi ti on Fi l ter s are unaffected by a *CLS (cl ear status) command.
Transi ti ons Fi l ter s are set to pass posi ti ve transi ti ons (al l 16 bi ts of the PTR regi ster are set to 1 and al l 16 bi ts
of the NTR regi ster are set to 0) at power on or after recei vi ng the *RST (reset) command.
Event Register The Event Regi ster captures bi t-state transi ti ons i n the Condi ti on Regi ster as defi ned by the
Transi ti on Fi l ter s. Each bi t i n the Event Regi ster corr esponds to a bi t i n the Condi ti on Regi ster. Bi ts i n the
Event Regi ster ar e l atched, and, once set, they remai n set unti l cl eared by a query of the Event Regi ster or a
*CLS (cl ear status) command. Thi s guarantees that the appl i cati on cant mi ss a bi t-state transi ti on i n the
Condi ti on Regi ster. There i s no bufferi ng; so whi l e an event bi t i s set, subsequent transi ti ons i n the Condi ti on
Regi ster correspondi ng to that bi t are i gnored. Event Regi sters are read-onl y. Event Regi sters i n the test set
are 16 bi ts l ong and may contai n unused bi ts. Al l unused bi ts return a zero val ue when read.
Event Enable Register The Event Enabl e Regi ster defi nes whi ch bi ts i n the Event Regi ster wi l l be used to
generate the Summary Message. Each bi t i n the Enabl e Regi ster has a corr espondi ng bi t i n the Event
Regi ster. The test set l ogi cal l y ANDs correspondi ng bi ts i n the Event and Enabl e regi sters and then performs
an i ncl usi ve OR on al l the resul ti ng bi ts to generate the Summary Message. By usi ng the enabl e bi ts the
appl i cati on pr ogram can di rect the test set to set the Summary Message to the 1 or TRUE state for a si ngl e
event or an i ncl usi ve OR of any group of events. Enabl e Regi sters are read-wri te. Enabl e Regi sters i n the test
set are 16 bi ts l ong and may contai n unused bi ts whi ch correspond to unused bi ts i n the associ ated Event
Regi ster. Al l unused bi ts return a zero val ue when read and are i gnored when wri tten to. Enabl e Regi sters are
unaffected by a *CLS (cl ear status) command or queri es.

Concurrent Measurements
Description
A number of measurements can be i ni ti ated (wi th the I NI Ti ate command) whi l e other measurements are
bei ng made, and the test set wi l l perform as many operati ons si mul taneousl y as i ts archi tecture al l ows. Thi s
techni que i s referred to as concurrency. Performi ng measurements concurrentl y can greatl y i mprove test
throughput.
Operating Considerations
The test set has three paral l el si gnal paths to i mprove measurement throughput.
Demodul ati on downconverter path.
Measurement downconverter path.
Power detector path.
Si nce measurements ar e DSP (di gi tal si gnal processor) based, and there are four A/D converters avai l abl e to
di gi ti ze or sampl e the i nput si gnal for anal ysi s by the DSP, the test set wi l l al ways have the capabi l i ty to

The ti me normal l y requi red for a measurement to compl ete may vary greatl y dependi ng on the i ndi vi dual
measurement, i ts setti ngs, i ts mul ti pl e measurement count val ue, and so forth. Because of thi s, you may need
to set the ti meout l onger than the defaul t for measurements where a l arge number of mul ti pl e measurements
are requested or where measurement tri ggers may be i nfr equent.
Be car eful when setti ng a ti meout that i s shor ter than the defaul t. I t i s possi bl e to speci fy a ti meout that i s so
short the measurement does not even have a chance to begi n. Measurement ti meouts shoul d al ways be at l east

Trigger Source Description
A measurement tri gger causes hardware (for exampl e, a sampl er) to captur e data whi ch i s used by a
measurement al gori thm to pr oduce a measurement resul t. Not al l of the tr i gger source choi ces are avai l abl e i n
ever y measurement, or every test appl i cati on.
RF Rise Trigger Source: When RF ri se tr i gger i ng i s sel ected, a measur ement dependent threshol d i s used
to defi ne the tri gger poi nt on the envel ope of the si gnal bei ng measured. The envel ope ampl i tude must fal l
bel ow thi s threshol d and remai n there for a measurement-dependent peri od of ti me before the tr i gger i s
armed. After the tri gger i s armed, a tri gger wi l l occur as the envel ope ampl i tude i ncreases and passes through
the thr eshol d.
Protocol Trigger Source: When pr otocol tr i ggeri ng i s sel ected, a data capture i s tri ggered by a pr otocol
gener ated si gnal . The test sets protocol engi ne knows when the DUTs si gnal shoul d be present and generates
a tri gger si gnal for use by the measurement to tri gger the data captur e.
External Trigger Source: When external tri ggeri ng i s sel ected, the user suppl i es an external tri gger si gnal
vi a the rear panel TRI G I N connector i n order to tri gger data capture. The tr i gger wi l l occur on the ri si ng edge
of thi s si gnal .
Immediate Trigger Source: When i mmedi ate tr i ggeri ng sel ected, the tr i gger occur s as soon as any
pr e-tri gger sampl es requi r ed by the measurement al gori thm are taken. Data capture i s tri ggered when the
measurement i s i ni ti ated.

Triggering of Measurements
Triggering Process Description
The tri gger i ng process contr ol s the pr esent and future states of the test set dur i ng the measur ement cycl e.
Tri ggers are set up usi ng the SETup commands and can be set up when a measurement i s i n the i nacti ve
state. A measurement i s acti vated (sel ected) wi th an I NI Ti ate command. I f a measurement i s i ni ti ated whi l e
i n i ts measurement cycl e, i t wi l l termi nate that measurement and restart i t. The acti ve state i s not a si ngl e
state but a col l ecti on of any state other than the i nacti ve state. Deacti vati ng (de-sel ecti ng) the measurement i s
accompl i shed through an I NI Ti ate:<MEAS>:OFF command.
Manual l y, a measurement i s acti vated by sel ecti ng i t fr om the Measurement Selection menu. A
measurement i s deacti vated by pr essi ng the Measurement Selection key, scrol l i ng to measurement i n the
Measurement Selection menu, and then pressi ng F4 (Close Measurement).

Example18. Wait for Trigger State
I f a measurement has been i ni ti ated wi th the I NI Ti ate command but has not been tri gger ed, or a
measurement has been sel ected from the Measurement Sel ecti on menu but has not been tr i ggered, then the
measurement state i s wai t for tri gger.
Example19. Measuring and Idle States (Trigger Arm Single)

Description
The test set can eval uate i ts own perfor mance and make a determi nati on as to the val i di ty of a measurement
resul t. The test set eval uates the condi ti ons surroundi ng a measurement and reports to the user i ts eval uati on
of these condi ti ons i n a parameter cal l ed the measurement i ntegri ty i ndi cator. A measurement i ntegri ty
i ndi cator val ue i s returned for every compl eted measurement. I t i s recommended that the user take advantage
of thi s featur e i n ever y measur ement.
The returned val ue defi nes whether or not a probl em was encountered by the measurement process. I t i s not,
however, guaranteed to be the onl y or root cause of the measurement probl em. Thi s i s because some of the
condi ti ons surroundi ng a measurement may i nteract, and the test set may have i nsuffi ci ent i nformati on to
determi ne the root cause of the measurement probl em. However, i n most cases, the val ue returned i s the most
l i kel y cause of the pr obl em.
Not al l of the i ntegri ty i ndi cator val ues ar e avai l abl e for each measurement or test appl i cati on, i f a val ue

Test System Synchronization Overview
Sequential versus overlapped commands
The test set uses both sequenti al and overl apped commands:
Sequenti al commands must fi ni sh executi ng before the next command starts to execute.
Overl apped commands do not fi ni sh executi ng before the next command starts to execute.
Overl apped commands are more di ffi cul t to synchroni ze because an overl apped operati on that started several commands
earl i er may sti l l be executi ng as subsequent commands are bei ng parsed out from the i nput buffer and executed. Thi s can
present a probl em unl ess the external control l er i s properl y synchroni zed to the test sets executi on of commands.
Overl apped commands al l ow the test set to use i ts i nternal resources as effi ci entl y as possi bl e.
Methods for synchronization
The test sets GPI B command set supports the fol l owi ng methods to achi eve synchroni zati on for overl apped commands. I n
some cases, combi nati ons of these methods wi l l provi de the best resul ts:
Methods one and two do not requi re the external control l er to query the test set, nor to perform any branchi ng or
deci si on-maki ng associ ated wi th i nformati on acqui red from the test set.
Methods three through si x rel y on responses from the test set to an external control l er, i ndi cati ng that some event has
occurred. The external control l er can then make deci si ons based on these responses to control the fl ow of commands to
the test set and other devi ces i n the test system.
1. Force the test set to execute overl apped commands sequenti al l y.
2. Force the test set to wai t unti l an overl apped command i s done executi ng before executi ng any more commands.
3. Query the test set to determi ne when a command has fi ni shed executi ng.
4. Query the test set to determi ne when al l commands sent to i t have at l east begun executi ng.
5. Query the test set to determi ne the current cal l or data connecti on processi ng state.
6. Program the test set to generate a servi ce request when an operati on has compl eted or the test set i s i n a certai n state.
Commands used for synchronization:
CALL:STATus on page 206
Thi s command queri es the test sets current cal l pr ocessi ng state. Thi s command supports synchroni zati on
method fi ve. See Cal l Processi ng State Synchroni zati on on page 1.
CALL:STATus on page 206
Thi s command determi nes the connected/i dl e state of a cal l . A feature cal l ed the change detector provi des

Measurement Event Synchronization
Measurement Event Synchronization
Description
Measurement event synchroni zati on saves ti me by control l i ng the communi cati on between the control l er, the
test set, and the mobi l e stati on, so that no devi ce does somethi ng before i t i s supposed to (whi ch can cause
errors or do somethi ng wel l after i t coul d have). Because some measurements can run concurrentl y, i t i s
necessary that the control pr ogram know when i ndi vi dual measurement resul ts are avai l abl e.
Measurement event synchroni zati on i s accompl i shed usi ng the I NI Ti ate subsystems command
I NI Ti ate:DONE? or the STATus:OPERati on:NMRReady status regi sters.
INITiate:DONE?
The I NI Ti ate:DONE? query returns a stri ng that i ndi cates what, i f any, measurements ar e ready to be
fetched. Thi s query shoul d be used i nsi de a l oop, checki ng each measurement that was i ni ti ated. See
I NI Ti ate on page 263 for more detai l s about thi s quer y.
The I NI Ti ate:DONE? query returns at l east one of the fol l owi ng i ndi cators for each pass through the l oop:
"CPOW" - The channel power measurement resul ts are avai l abl e.
"DAP - The di gi tal average power measurement resul ts are avai l abl e.
"WQU" - The waveform qual i ty measurement resul ts are avai l abl e
"WAI T" - There are one or more measurements whi ch are i n the measur i ng state whi ch are not excl uded
fr om the query. See I NI Ti ate:DONE:FLAG:<measurement mnemoni c> on page 266. When WAI T i s
returned at l east one measur ement i s not ready to be fetched yet.
"NONE" - There are no measurements curr entl y i n the measuri ng state. Thi s assumes no measurements
have been excl uded. See I NI Ti ate:DONE:FLAG:<measurement mnemoni c> on page 266. Thi s woul d
i ndi cate that al l measurements resul ts are avai l abl e or none have been i ni ti ated.

230 PRINT Rho is ;rho_meas
240 END SELECT
250 UNTIL Meas_done$=NONE !When all triggered measurements have completed,

Operating Considerations
Onl y one i ndi cator i s returned per query.
To ensure that when a measurement compl etes i t wi l l remai n i n a state that qual i fi es i t as DONE, use the
SETup subsystem to set al l acti ve measurements to si ngl e (CONTi nous:OFF) tri gger mode.

Description
INITiate Command Functions
The I NI Ti ate subsystem i s used to:
Start (acti vate) i ndi vi dual or mul ti pl e (concurrent) measurements.
Turn i ndi vi dual measurements off.
Determi ne the number of measurements curr entl y acti ve (I NI T:COUNT?).
Determi ne the names of the measurements currentl y acti ve (I NI T:ON?).
Determi ne whi ch measurements are fi ni shed (I NI T:DONE?).
What Happens When a Measurement is INITiated?
When a measur ement i s started usi ng I NI Ti ate commands, a new measurement cycl e i s started. I f the
sel ected measurement i s currentl y i n a measurement cycl e, i t i s aborted. I f a ti meout i s speci fi ed, the ti meout
peri od begi ns when a measurement i s i ni ti ated.
NOTE The I NI Ti ate subsystem i s der i ved fr om SCPI , but has some modi fi cati ons to make i t mor e
compati bl e wi th the manual oper ati on of the test set. Most notabl y, the choi ce of si ngl e or
conti nuous measur ement tri ggeri ng i s made usi ng the SETup subsystem.
INITiate Programming Examples (how INIT commands are used)
The I NI Ti ate command i s used to start measurements. I NI Ti ate commands al l ow mul ti pl e measurements to
be started wi thout wai ti ng for other measurement processes to compl ete. For exampl e, the fol l owi ng code
starts the Di gi tal Average Power and Waveform Qual i ty measurements, and then uses the I NI Ti ate:DONE?
command i n a l oop to quer y the status of these measurements, see Measurement Event Synchroni zati on on
page 164.
When the measurements are done, the FETCh command i s used to acqui r e the resul ts, and the resul ts are
entered i nto vari abl es i n the control l i ng appl i cati on. The pr ogram ends when the I NI Ti ate:DONE? command
returns the stri ng NONE" i ndi cati ng that al l i ni ti ated measurements have gone through the measur i ng state

Syntax Diagram and Command Descriptions
Description
The READ? command pr ovi des a sequenti al method to make measurements and retr i eve the resul ts. READ?
wi l l hang the GPI B bus unti l the measurement i s compl eted, or unti l the ti meout val ue has been exceeded.
Associ ated SETup commands (for each measurement) are used wi th the READ? command to retr i eve desi red
measurement resul ts i n a sequenti al manner.
Sendi ng a READ? command i s equi val ent to an I NI Ti ate/FETCh cycl e for a measurement. A READ? command
executes an abort acti on on that measurement fol l owed by an I NI Ti ate and a FETCH?.
READ? commands can be mi xed wi th FETCH? queri es i n order to make combi nati ons of sequenti al and
over l apped operati ons. One measurement can be i ssued a READ? command (sequenti al ), and the next
measur ement can be i ssued I NI Ti ate/FETCh? commands (over l apped), i f necessar y.
The advantage of usi ng the READ? commands to obtai n measurement resul ts, as opposed to the
I NI Ti ate/FETCh method i s:
I t i s si mpl er. Fewer commands are requi red to obtai n measurement resul ts.
Some di sadvantages of usi ng READ? over I NI Ti ate and FETCh are:
The test set does not pr ocess any addi ti onal GPI B commands unti l the requested measurement resul ts are
avai l abl e.
The sequenti al nature of the READ? command does not al l ow the user to make concurrent measurements.
Concurrent measurements requi re the overl apped commands I NI Ti ate, DONE? and FETCh? .
The READ? command does not pr ovi de measurement resul ts such as stati sti cs that are avai l abl e usi ng the
I NI Ti ate/FETCh method.
The READ? commands have pr e-defi ned measurement resul ts. I f addi ti onal resul ts are needed fr om a
measurement they may be obtai ned wi th a FETCh? query.
NOTE Tri gger ar mi ng for each measurement i s control l ed i n the SETup subsystem. Best practi ce duri ng

Persistent Errors These errors are generated when a non-transi tory error condi ti on exi sts. Persi stent errors
occur when a hardware fai l ure i s found, or when damage or i njury to a person or the test set may occur.

The LAN address i s a character stri ng wi th a maxi mum of 15 characters and a format of A, B, C, D, where A i s
between 0 and 223, and B, C, and D are between 0 and 255. No embedded spaces are al l owed. The address may
be manual l y set/vi ewed i n the system confi gurati on screen. The LAN addr ess can be set/queri ed usi ng the
SYSTem subsystem.
The LAN addr ess i s a non-vol ati l e parameter. The LAN address i s not affected by any reset operati on and can
onl y be changed by di rect access to the parameter i tsel f.
NOTE I f the LAN address i s set to a di fferent network cl ass, the subnet mask wi l l change to the defaul t
net mask for the new network cl ass.
For conveni ence the DATA port on the fr ont panel may be confi gured as a LAN port. When a RJ45 jumper
cabl e, (part number E5515-61160) i s connected from the LAN PORT on the rear panel , to the ETHERNET TO
FRONT PANEL por t al so on the r ear panel , the user has LAN access fr om the front panel of the test set.
