GPIB Command Conventions

CALL:HANDoff[:IMMediate]

Function

THIS COMMAND IS OBSOLETE. Please use the CALL:HANDoff:PCReconfig[:IMMediate] and CALL:HANDoff:SYSTem[:GSM][:IMMediate] commands to perform physical channel reconfigurations and system handoffs.

Initiates a handoff while on a call (and in Active Cell mode). Any measurements that have been initiated are aborted when a handoff is initiated. See Handovers .

A handoff can initiate a change of downlink UARFCN ( CALL:SETup[:PCReconfig]:CHANnel<[:SELected]|:FDD>:DOWNlink ), a change of uplink UARFCN ( CALL:SETup[:PCReconfig]:CHANnel<[:SELected]|:FDD>:UPLink[:MCHannel] ), or a change from W-CDMA system to GSM system ( CALL:SETup[:HANDoff]:SYSTem[:TYPE] ) while maintaining the connection.

The W-CDMA to GSM handoff is only available when both the E1963A and E1968A test applications (TAs) are present in the test set and licensed for operation.

Requirements

Test Application Revision: A.03 and above: add handoff from W-CDMA to GSM.
