This section provides an example of how to make occupied bandwidth measurements via GPIB. The following program example assumes that the mobile station's (UE's) antenna output is connected to the RF IN/OUT connector, and that the mobile station is synchronized to the test set and is transmitting an uplink signal.
The basic procedure is as follows:
10 ! Set trigger mode to single for the Occupied Bandwidth meas 20 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WOBWidth:CONTinuous OFF" 30 ! Set a timout value of 5 seconds and enable the timeout state 40 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WOBWidth:TIMeout 5" 50 ! Set the trigger source to automatically select the appropriate 60 ! trigger 70 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WOBWidth:TRIGger:SOURce AUTO" 80 ! Turn on multi-measurements and set the count number 90 OUTPUT 714;"SETup:WOBWidth:COUNt 5" 100 ! Initiate the Occupied Bandwidth measurement 110 OUTPUT 714;"INITiate:WOBWidth" 120 ! Fetch the integrity indicator and the statistical results of 130 ! the measurement 140 OUTPUT 714;"FETCh:WOBWidth:INTegrity?;BANDwidth:ALL?" 150 ENTER 714;Integrity,Min,Max,Avg,Sdev 160 ! Check the integrity indicator to ensure the results are valid 170 IF Integrity<>0 THEN 180 PRINT "Measurement failed." 190 ELSE 200 ! Process the measurement results. 210 END IF 220 END
Integrity
stores the returned integrity indicator value (see
Integrity Indicator
); 0 means a successful measurement with no errors.
Min
returns the minimum occupied bandwidth result in MHz.
Max
returns the maximum occupied bandwidth result in MHz.
Avg
returns the average occupied bandwidth result in MHz.
Sdev
returns the standard deviation of the occupied bandwidth results in MHz.
