Create a Pulse Profile Measurement

The following SCPI example demonstrates how to create a Pulse Profile measurement using the Integrated Pulse Application on the PNA-X and N522xB.

Four measurements are created:

  1. S11 (default)

  2. S21

  3. B receiver

  4. R1 receiver - used to verify pulse gen settings.

This VBScript (*.vbs) program can be run as a macro in the VNA. To do this, copy the following code into a text editor file such as Notepad and save it on the VNA hard drive as PulseProfile.vbs. Learn how to setup and run the macro.
