These commands perform functions that control the test set's RF analyzer (measuring receiver). In addition, you can select automatic frequency control modes. These modes allow you to specify a band and ARFCN and the test set automatically sets the RF analyzer to the appropriate frequencies in the uplink band.

Sets/queries which uplink burst is measured for single slot measurements on dual uplink PDTCHs when the receiver measurement burst control is AUTO.
This setting has no effect on GSM calls; the measurement burst is always 1.
Setting Range: 1 | 2
Query Range: 1 | 2
*RST Setting: 1
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Set uplink burst 2 to be measured for single slot measurements.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:BURSt 2")
Sets/queries the expected burst parameter. This parameter is used for measurement synchronization. (If it is not set, the test set may not synchronize to the input signal's midamble.)
Setting Range: TSC0 | TSC1 | TSC2 | TSC3 | TSC4 | TSC5 | TSC6 | TSC7 | RACH
Query Range: TSC0 | TSC1 | TSC2 | TSC3 | TSC4 | TSC5 | TSC6 | TSC7 | RACH
*RST Setting: TSC5
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above; A.04 added [:SELected] and RFANalyzer:BURSt:TYPE:GCALibration[?]
Example:
' Set the test set to expect Training Sequence Code (TSC) 2 in the midamble burst.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:BURSt:TYPE TSC2")
Sets/queries whether the expected signal type is EGPRS. This controls the configuration of the test set's receiver. If any burst modulation commands are set to 8PSK then this command is automatically set to ON.
An EGPRS license is required to set this command to ON.
Setting Range: 0 | OFF | 1 | ON
Query Range: 0 | 1
*RST Setting: 0 | OFF
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.03 and above
Example:
' Set the test set to expect 8PSK EGPRS signals.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:CONFig:EGPRs ON")
Sets/queries whether the test set's RF analyzer is set to automatic (AUTO ON) or manual (AUTO OFF) frequency control. When set to manual (AUTO OFF), you can specify the receiver frequency using the RFANalyzer:MANual:FREQuency[:SELected][?] command.
Changing from Auto to Manual results in the Manual frequency setting remaining at the frequency of the last used ARFCN and Band that was set in Auto mode.
The optional [:SELected] keyword specifies that the frequency control mode being set or queried applies to the currently selected application.
Setting Range: 0 | OFF | 1 | ON
Query Range: 0 | 1
*RST Setting: 1 | ON
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Set the RF analyzer frequency control to manual.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO OFF")
Sets/queries whether the test set RF analyzer's expected input power control mode is set to automatic (AUTO ON) or manual (AUTO OFF) power control.
The optional [:SELected] keyword specifies that the expected input power control mode being set or queried applies to the currently selected application.
Setting Range: 0 | OFF | 1 | ON
Query Range: 0 | 1
*RST Setting: 1 | ON
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Set the RF analyzer expected input power control mode to manual.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:CONTrol:POWer:AUTO:GCALibration OFF")
Sets/queries the manual frequency of the RF analyzer. The RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] command must be set to manual (AUTO OFF) to use this command.
The units (GHZ|MHZ|KHZ|HZ) are optional, if no units are specified than units default to Hz.
The optional [:SELected] keyword specifies that the frequency being set or queried applies to the currently selected application.
Setting Range: 380 to 2700 MHz
Query Range: 380 to 2700 MHz
Resolution: 1 Hz
*RST Setting: 896 MHz
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above; A.05 changed lower frequency limit from 400 MHz to 380MHz
Example:
' Set the manual frequency of the receiver to 1200 MHz.
TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:MANual:FREQuency 1200MHZ")
Sets/queries the manual frequency of the RF analyzer. This command also sets the RFANalyzer:CONTrol:FREQuency:AUTO[:SELected][?] command to OFF.
The units (GHZ|MHZ|KHZ|HZ) are optional, if no units are specified than units default to Hz.
The optional [:SELected] keyword specifies that the frequency being set or queried applies to the currently selected application.

TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:MANual:MFRequency:GCALibration 1200MHZ")
Sets/queries the power level in dBm that the test set's RF analyzer is expecting the wireless device uplink burst to transmit at.
This command also sets the RFANalyzer:CONTrol:POWer:AUTO[:SELected][?] command to OFF.

Only burst 1 is applicable to GSM TCH measurements.

TestSet.WriteString("RFANalyzer:MANual:MPOWer:BURSt1 7DBM")
Sets/queries the power level in dBm that the test set's RF analyzer is expecting the wireless device uplink burst to transmit at. The RFANalyzer:CONTrol:POWer:AUTO[:SELected][?] command must be set to manual (AUTO OFF) to use this command.
