on May 27, 2014Hello,
I plan to integrate VSA with my automated test software (written in LabVIEW) for transmitter testing.
The use case is as follows.
VSA will run on a PC connected to PSA spectrum analyzer.
And the PC running VSA will be connected to another PC running the automated test software for transmitter testing.
I’ve below mentioned queries in this regards.
1.) How will I address one PC using another PC for programming?
2.) In this case, how can I program VSA using SCPI or any other method?
3.) Lastly, are all measurements and settings supported using SCPI in VSA (in particular, the ones supported under option 200, 300, AYA and BHK)?
The application requires to do all the relevant settings in VSA and then capture the measurement results of VSA using the automated test software.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.
Regards,
Asish Jain.

SCPI API is the only method available to access VSA on a remote PC.
Not all functionality is available in SCPI.
Please see the SCPI reference included with the software for details.
There are also SCPI example programs included with the software and they can be found in C:\Program Files\Agilent\89600 Software 18.0\89600 VSA Software\Examples\SCPI\
