Code Translator Application


The VNA has code emulators that allow you to control the VNA using test programs written in the remote control commands of the 8753 and E5071C. The code emulators process each of incoming 8753/E5071C commands in real time, by first recognizing it as a valid command, and then executing the VNA’s equivalent command(s) if one exist. The 8753 command emulation is performed by the CxL Application. The E5071C command emulation is performed by the E5071C command emulation mode of the VNA firmware.

The CXL Application will also help translate your Legacy programs into VNA SCPI and COM commands.

You can launch these code emulators as follows:

  1. Press System > System Settings > Code Emulation.

  2. Select 8753 or 5071.  (To execute 8753, CXL application should be installed on the VNA. )

See the following document for operation.
