Automated Measurement Setup and Control
The production of RF components often involves several steps, each step
requiring a unique set of instrument settings. Likewise, the different test
configurations at each step may require associated calibrations. Requiring
the operator to manually enter these sets of parameters (or “states”) or to
calibrate at each step in the manufacturing process is slow, prone to error,
and costly.
An automated measurement system can be used to achieve fast and
consistent transitions between measurement setups. In an automated system,
the instrument parameters are set under program control. The control
program can be an IBASIC program running inside the analyzer, or be in
another language running on an external computer. The control program
sends SCPI and IEEE-488 commands to the analyzer’s HP-IB or LAN interface.
The HP-II3 commands rapidly change the instrument settings or calibration.
