Using Applications in PSA Series vs. VSA E4406A
NOTE This information only applies to the application modes:
Basic, cdmaOne, cdma2000, 1xEV-DO, W-CDMA, GSM, EDGE,
NADC, and PDC.
Command PSA Series VSA E4406A: A.04.00 VSA E4406A: A.05.00
*RST Resets instrument,
putting it in continuous
measurement mode.
Use INIT:CONT OFF to
select single
measurement mode and
INIT:IMM to start one
measurement.
Resets instrument,
putting it in single
measurement mode. One
measurement is initiated
when the command is
sent.
Resets instrument,
putting it in single
measurement mode. No
measurement is initiated
when the command is
sent. Use INIT:IMM to
start one measurement.
CONFigure:
<measurement>
Accesses the
measurement and sets
the instrument settings
to the defaults. If you
were already in single
measurement mode, it
takes one measurement
and then waits.
Same as PSA.

Accesses the
measurement and sets
the instrument settings
to the defaults. If you
were already in single
measurement mode, it
does not initiate a
measurement. Use
INIT:IMM to make one
measurement.
*ESE default Default is 255 which
means that every
error/status bit change
that has occurred will
be returned with a
*ESR? query. You must
set the value of *ESE to
choose only the
bits/status that you
want returned.
Default is 0 which means
that none of the
error/status bit changes
that have occurred will be
returned with a *ESR?
query. You must set the
value of *ESE to choose
the bits/status that you
want returned.
Same as VSA A.04.00.

TRIGger
commands
In Spectrum Analysis
mode only one value can
be set for the trigger’s
source, delay, level, or
polarity.
Basic, GSM, EDGE,
cdmaOne, cdma2000,
W-CDMA, NADC, PDC
modes function the
same as VSA
You can select a unique
trigger source for each
mode. Each trigger source
can have unique settings
for the its delay, level,
and polarity.
Same as VSA A.04.00.
You can select a unique
trigger source for each
mode. Each trigger
source can have unique
settings for the its delay,
level, and polarity.
