2  About the N9061A Measurement Application

General Rules and Limitations

Device Clear is supported by N9061A, and causes a mode preset of the instrument.

EP Parameter

The EP (Enable Parameter) is supported by N9061A for the same active functions as the 8560
series. When used as a secondary keyword after a command, EP transfers control to the analyzer’s
front-panel.

EP is not displayed in any of the format diagrams for individual commands listed in

"Legacy

Command Descriptions" on page 205

.

OA Parameter

N9061A supports the OA parameter, which is used in conjunction with several legacy commands,
such as AT and CF. OA is equivalent to a query; for example, CF OA is equivalent to CF?.

Handling of Unsupported Commands and Queries

If a command is valid for legacy products but not supported by N9061A, no error message is
generated, although a "Command Not Supported" comment is appended to the Command Log file.
Note that this logging behavior can be controlled via the Logging menu, as described in

"Logging"

on page 888

.

If N9061A receives a query that is valid for legacy products, but is not supported by N9061A, it
returns a "0", to avoid the situation where a program would otherwise halt indefinitely waiting for
a return value.
