L4445A Microwave Switch/Attenuator Driver

SCPI Programming Examples

These programming examples provide you with SCPI command examples
to use for driving the microwave switch modules.

The channel addressing scheme used in these examples follow the form
1rcc where r is the remote module number (1 through 8), and cc is the
two- digit channel number. For more information about channel numbering,
refer to

“Channel Numbering”

on page 143.

For complete information on SCPI commands, see the Programmer’s
Reference
Help file.

Example: Configuring an Agilent N1810UL

The following example illustrate controlling an Agilent N1810UL attached
to a Y1150A distribution board. The distribution board is connected to
Bank 1 of the first remote module attached to the L4445A. This example
uses the bank preset (described on

page 153

).

Example: Configuring a Paired Drive Channel

The following example illustrates the sequence of commands used to
configure a paired drive channel. In the example, the operations are
directed to channel 1 on remote module 3.

The drive source must be disabled before configuring either the channel
pairing or the pulse mode. The channel is then paired and the pulse width
set to 15 ms. Power supply recovery time and settling time is then set to
12 ms and 10 ms, respectively. Verify is then enabled. The default behavior
for the switches is set to

OPEN

and TTL drive using an

EXTernal

power

supply. Finally, the channel is closed.
