Fast Switch Between TD-SCDMA and GSM

Last updated: 2010-03-10

Description

The E1969A TD-SCDMA_GSM Fast Switch test application allows you to switch between GSM/GPRS/EGPRS and TD-SCDMA test applications very quickly if the required license is available.

If the required license and calibration file is available, the default boot-up format for the E1969A application is TD-SCDMA.  If not, and you have the required license, you can do the following to make TD-SCDMA as the default boot-up format: 1), fast switch to TD-SCDMA (see How Do I Switch Formats?); 2), perform a full calibration of the test set (see Calibrating the Test Set).

Select SYSTEM CONFIG and then the Format Switch for viewing and switching formats. See How Do I Switch Formats?

For how to switch between formats using GPIB command, see Format Switch Example Using GPIB.
