Transfers the given trace data specified by <Tr> from the instrument to the controller. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1.

FDATa: Formatted (or Final) data. The returned data are based on the Graph Type that is associated with the trace. For graph types that use only one number per point (such as Log Mag, SWR, Phase, Real, Imaginary, Group Delay, Log Mag /2), the command returns one number per data-point. For graph types that use two numbers per point (such as Smith Chart), the command returns two numbers per data-point. Following is a list of the returned values for each Graph Type:

SDATa: Complex measurement data. The returned numbers (which are independent of the Graph Type that is associated with the trace) are the complex measurement data (Real and Imaginary) for each point of the trace. A 551 point trace therefore has a total of 1102 points that get transferred.

FMEM: Formatted (or Final) Memory data. Similar to FDATa, but for memory data.

SMEM: Complex memory data. Similar to SDATa, but for memory data.

Note that in order to get valid data when querying for memory data, you must first store a trace into memory using the command CALC:MATH:MEMorize. The format of the block data that is returned can be specified by the command :FORMat:DATA. The response begins with an ASCII header that specifies the number of data bytes. It appears in the format #AX, where A is the number of digits in X, and X is the number of bytes that follow the header. Each data-point is separated by a comma delimiter.

Defines the graph type for the given trace <Tr>. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. <Graph Type> is the graph type to which the specified trace is set, and it must be one of the following values: 

The query version of this command returns “LMAG” if the specified trace graph type is set to Log Mag, “SWR” if set to SWR, “PHAS” if set to Phase, “REAL” if set to Real, “IMAG” if set to Imaginary, “GDEL” if set to Group Delay, and “SMIT” is set to Smith chart, and “LM/2” if set to Log Mag/2 (cable loss), “LINP” if set to Linear Polar, “LOGP” if set to Log Polar, “RIMP” if set to Real Impedance, and “IIMP” if set to Imaginary Impedance.

Sets the math operations on the currently active trace and the trace stored in memory. Note that a trace MUST be stored in Memory. Setting the FUNCtion to NORMal is equivalent of setting the Trace Math to “None” on the front panel. Setting the FUNCtion to ADD is equivalent of setting the Trace Math to “Trace Plus Memory” on the front panel. Setting the FUNCtion to SUBTract is equivalent to setting the Trace Math to “Trace Minus Memory” on the front panel. Setting the FUNCtion to MULTiply is equivalent to setting the Trace Math to “Trace Multiply Memory” on the front panel. Setting the FUNCtion to DIVide is equivalent to setting the Trace Math to “Trace Divide Memory” on the front panel. The query version of the command returns the string “NORM” for no trace math, “ADD” for trace plus memory, “SUBT” for trace minus memory, “MULT” for trace multiply memory, and “DIV” for trace divide memory.

NORM

Shift 5 (Trace), Trace Math

Copies the current measurement trace into memory.

NA

NA (no query)

Shift 5 (Trace), Save Trace to Memory

Sets the smoothing percentage for the given trace <Tr>. The query form of the command returns the current smoothing percentage. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. Note that setting the smoothing also sets the given trace as the active trace if it is not already active.

0

0 to 20

Shift 4 (Measure), Smoothing %

This command returns the maximum distance in millimeters if the current distance unit is set to meter, and otherwise returns the maximum distance in feet. This value is set based on the number of data-points, the propagation velocity, and the start and stop frequency.

For 1.6 GHz Model: 18.7429 m
For 6 GHz Model: 4.997 m

millimeters (mm)

– 3000.0 m to + 3000.0 m

Freq/Dist, Additional Dist Setup, Distance Info

This command returns the distance resolution in millimeters if the current distance unit is set to meter, and otherwise returns the resolution in feet. This value is set based on the propagation velocity and the start and stop frequencies.

millimeters (mm)

– 3000.0 m to + 3000.0 m

Freq/Dist, Additional Dist Setup, Distance Info

Sets the start distance for DTF measurements. The query version of this command returns the start distance in millimeters if the current distance unit is set to meter, and otherwise returns the start distance in feet.

0.0 mm

Meters (m) when setting, Millimeters (mm) for query

– 3000.0 m to + 3000.0 m

To set the start distance to 5 meters:

To set the start distance to 6 millimeters:

Freq/Dist, Start Dist

Sets the stop distance for DTF measurements. The query version of this command returns the stop distance in millimeters if the current distance unit is set to meter, and otherwise returns the stop distance in feet.

6850 mm

Meters (m) when setting, Millimeters (mm) for query

– 3000.0 m to + 3000.0 m

Freq/Dist, Stop Dist

Sets the units to be used for DTF measurements. The query version of this command returns the string “METER” if the current distance unit is set to meter, and otherwise returns the string “FEET”.

METers when setting, METER for query

To set the distance unit to Meter:

To set the distance unit to Feet:

Shift 8 (System), Application Options, Units

Produces the distance list in meters for the given trace. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 8 (1 to 4 for Traces TR1 to TR4 and 5 to 8 for Memory M1 to M4). If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. The response begins with an ASCII header that specifies the number of data bytes. It appears in the format #AX, where A is the number of digits in X, and X is the number of bytes that follow the header. Each distance value is returned in scientific notation and separated by a comma delimiter.
