1-2 Introduction
This chapter provides a general description of the GPIB and the bus data transfer and control functions. It also
contains a listing of the MS464xB GPIB interface function subset capability and response to IEEE 488
interface function messages.
The GPIB information presented in this chapter is general in nature. For complete and specific information,
refer to the following documents, available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers:
•ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1-1987 IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation
•ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987 IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common Commands
These documents precisely define the total specification of the mechanical and electrical interface, and of the
data transfer and control protocols.
The final section in this chapter, “Minimum/Maximum Instrument Frequency and Related Parameters”
on page 1-22, provides a listing of the VNA instrument minimum and maximum frequency settings and related
parameters such as default frequency span. These values are provided for standalone VectorStar VNAs as well
as for VNAs configured with ME7828A or MS7838A Broadband/Millimeter-Wave/Multiple Source Test Sets.

General Information 1-5 IEEE 488 GPIB Description
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 1-3
1-5 IEEE 488 GPIB Description
The IEEE 488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) is an international instrumentation interface standard
for integrating instruments, computers, printers, plotters, and other measurement devices into systems. IEEE
stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and is currently the world’s largest technical
professional society. Refer to http://www.ieee.org for more information about the society and its standards.
The interface between the VectorStar VNA and other devices on the GPIB is via a standard 24-wire GPIB
interface cable. This cable uses a double-sided connector where one connector face is a plug and the other a
receptacle. These double-function connectors allow parallel connection of two or more cables to a single
instrument connector.
Caution When two or more cables are connected in parallel, be careful not to bend the attached connectors
and damage the rear panel GPIB Port connector.

GPIB Network Restrictions
To achieve design performance on the GPIB network bus, the proper timing and voltage level relationships
must be maintained. If either the cable length between separate instruments or the accumulated cable length
between all instruments is too long, the data and control lines cannot be driven properly and the system may
fail to perform.
•Network Topology
GPIB network topologies can be in any combination of star and/or serial (“daisy-chain”) network topology
subject to the limitations below. Looped topologies are prohibited. If a star topology is used, care must be
observed when stacking two or more GPIB connectors.
•Number of Units
The maximum number of physical GPIB devices must be less than or equal to 15 including the
controller.
•Addresses
The default address for a GPIB Controller Device must be 0 (zero). The address for a GPIB-controlled
device can be from 1 (one) to 30. Each device address in a GPIB network must be unique.
•Total Network Length
The network length is measured in meters. The total network length of all cables less than two times the
number of instruments, and always less than 20 meters. For example, the maximum length of a 2
instrument network is 4 meters; a 6 instrument network is limited to 12 meters; and networks of 10 or
more instruments are limited to 20 meters.
•Maximum Network Leg Length
The recommended length of any network leg is less than or equal to 4 meters. In all cases, minimize
cable lengths to achieve maximum data transfer rates.
•Power State
Two-thirds of the network devices must be powered on before signaling is started. No devices should be
powered up while bus signaling is in operation where devices are actively sending or receiving messages
or data.
The devices on the GPIB are connected in parallel, as shown in Figure 1-1. The interface consists of 16 signal
lines and 8 ground lines in a shielded cable. Eight of the signal lines are the data lines, DIO 1 through DIO 8.
These data lines carry messages (data and commands), one byte at a time, among the GPIB devices. Three of
the remaining lines are the handshake lines that control the transfer of message bytes between devices. The
five remaining signal lines are referred to as interface management lines.
The following paragraphs provide an overview of the GPIB including descriptions of:
•“Functional Elements”
•“Bus Structure”
•“Data Bus Description”

•“Device Interface Function Capability”
•“Message Types”
•“Response to GPIB Interface Function Messages”
•“Configuring the Dedicated GPIB Port”
•“Configuring the IEEE 488.2 GPIB Port”
Note For low EMI applications, the GPIB cable should be a fully shielded type with well-grounded
metal-shell connectors. Use Anritsu Model 2100-series cables.

Functional Elements
Effective communications between devices on the GPIB requires three functional elements; a talker, a listener,
and a controller. Each device on the GPIB is categorized as one of these elements depending on its current
interface function and capabilities.
•Talker
A talker is a device capable of sending device-dependent data to another device on the bus when
addressed to talk. Only one GPIB device at a time can be an active talker.
•Listener
A listener is a device capable of receiving device-dependent data from another device on the bus when
addressed to listen. Any number of GPIB devices can be listeners simultaneously.
•Controller
A controller is a device, usually a computer, capable of managing the operation of the GPIB. Only one
GPIB device at a time can be an active controller. The active controller manages the transfer of
device-dependent data between GPIB devices by designating who will talk and who will listen.
•System Controller
The system controller is the device that always retains ultimate control of the GPIB. When the system is
first powered-up, the system controller is the active controller and manages the GPIB. The system
controller can pass control to a device, making it the new active controller. The new active controller, in
turn, may pass control on to yet another device. Even if it is not the active controller, the system
controller maintains control of the Interface Clear (IFC) and Remote Enable (REN) interface
management lines and can thus take control of the GPIB at anytime.
General Information 1-5 IEEE 488 GPIB Description
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 1-7
Bus Structure
The GPIB uses 16 signal lines to carry data and commands between the devices connected to the bus. The
interface signal lines are organized into three functional groups.
•Data Bus (8 lines)
•Data Byte Transfer Control Bus (3 lines)
•General Interface Management Bus (5 lines)
The signal lines in each of the three groups are designated according to function. Table 1-1 lists these
designations.
Data Bus Description
The data bus is the conduit for the transfer of data and commands between the devices on the GPIB. It
contains eight bidirectional, active-low signal lines —DIO 1 through DIO 8. Data and commands are
transferred over the data bus in byte-serial, bit-parallel form. This means that one byte of data (eight bits) is
transferred over the bus at a time. DIO 1 represents the least-significant bit (LSB) in this byte and DIO 8
represents the most-significant bit (MSB). Bytes of data are normally formatted in seven-bit ASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange) code. The eighth (parity) bit is not used.
Each byte placed on the data bus represents either a command or a data byte. If the Attention (ATN) interface
management line is TRUE while the data is transferred, then the data bus is carrying a bus command which is
to be received by every GPIB device. If ATN is FALSE, then a data byte is being transferred and only the active
listeners will receive that byte.

1-8 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Data Byte Transfer Control Bus Description
Control of the transfer of each byte of data on the data bus is accomplished by a technique called the
“three-wire handshake”, which involves the three signal lines of the Data Byte Transfer Control Bus. This
technique forces data transfers at the speed of the slowest listener, which ensures data integrity in multiple
listener transfers. One line (DAV) is controlled by the talker, while the other two (NRFD and NDAC) are
wired-OR lines shared by all active listeners. The handshake lines, like the other GPIB lines, are active low.
The technique is described briefly in the following paragraphs and is depicted in Figure 1-2. For further
information, refer to the ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1 specification.
General Interface Management Bus Description
The general interface management bus is a group of five signal lines used to manage the flow of information
across the GPIB. A description of the function of each of the individual control lines is provided below.
•ATN (Attention)
The active controller uses the ATN line to define whether the information on the data bus is a command
or is data. When ATN is TRUE (low), the bus is in the command mode and the data lines carry bus
commands. When ATN is FALSE (high), the bus is in the data mode and the data lines carry
device-dependent instructions or data.
•EOI (End or Identify)
The EOI line is used to indicate the last byte of a multi byte data transfer. The talker sets the EOI line
TRUE during the last data byte. The active controller also uses the EOI line in conjunction with the ATN
line to initiate a parallel poll sequence.
•IFC (Interface Clear)
Only the system controller uses this line. When IFC is TRUE (low), all devices on the bus are placed in a
known, quiescent state (unaddressed to talk, unaddressed to listen, and service request idle).
•REN (Remote Enable)
Only the system controller uses this line. When REN is set TRUE (low), the bus is in the remote mode
and devices are addressed either to listen or to talk. When the bus is in remote and a device is addressed,
it receives instructions from the GPIB rather than from its front panel. When REN is set FALSE (high),
the bus and all devices return to local operation.
•SRQ (Service Request)
The SRQ line is set TRUE (low) by any device requesting service by the active controller.

Device Interface Function Capability
An interface function is the GPIB system element which provides the basic operational facility through which a
device can receive, process, and send messages. Each specific interface function may only send or receive a
limited set of messages within particular classes of messages. As a result, a set of interface functions is
necessary to achieve complete communications among devices on the GPIB.
The ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.1 specification defines each of the interface functions along with its specific
protocol. The ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2 specification specifies the minimum set of IEEE 488.1 interface
capabilities that each GPIB device must have. This minimum set of interface functions assures that the device
is able to send and receive data, request service, and respond to a device clear message. Table 1-2 lists the
interface function capability of the VectorStar Series VNA.

Message Types
There are three types of information transmitted over the GPIB:
•interface function messages
•device-specific commands, and
•data and instrument status messages.
Interface Function Messages
The controller manages the flow of information on the GPIB using interface function messages, usually called
commands or command messages. Interface function messages perform such functions as initializing the bus,
addressing and unaddressing devices, and setting device modes for remote or local operation.
There are two types of commands: multiline and uniline. Multiline commands are bytes sent by the active
controller over the data bus (DIO1-DIO8) with ATN set TRUE. Uniline commands are signals carried by the
individual interface management lines.
The user generally has control over these commands; however, the extent of user control depends on the
implementation and varies with the specific GPIB interface hardware and software used with the external
controller.
Device-Specific Commands
These commands are keywords or mnemonic codes sent by the external controller to control the setup and
operation of the addressed device or instrument. The commands are normally unique to a particular
instrument or class of instruments and are described in its documentation. Device-specific commands are
transmitted over the data bus of the GPIB to the device in the form of ASCII strings containing one or more
keywords or codes. They are decoded by the device’s internal controller and cause the various instrument
functions to be performed.
Data and Instrument Status Messages
These messages are sent by the device to the external controller via the GPIB. They contain measurement
results, instrument status, or data files that the device transmits over the data bus in response to specific
requests from the external controller. The contents of these messages are instrument specific and may be in
the form of ASCII strings or binary data. In some cases data messages will be transmitted from the external
controller to the device. For example, messages to load calibration data.
An SRQ (service request) is an interface function message sent from the device to the external controller to
request service from the controller, usually due to some predetermined status condition or error. To send this
message, the device sets the SRQ line of the General Interface Management Bus true, then sends a status byte
on the data bus lines.
An SRQ interface function message is also sent by the device in response to a serial poll message from the
controller, or upon receiving an Output Status Byte(s) command from the controller. The protocols associated
with the SRQ functions are defined in the ANSI/IEEE Std 488.2 document.
The manner in which interface function messages and device-specific commands are invoked in programs is
implementation specific for the GPIB interface used with the external controller. Even though both message
types are represented by mnemonics, they are implemented and used in different ways.
Normally, the interface function messages are sent automatically by the GPIB driver software in response to
invocation of a software function. For example, to send the IFC (Interface Clear) interface function message,
one would call the ibsic function of the National Instruments software driver. On the other hand, the command
*RST (Reset) is sent in a command string to the addressed device. In the case of the National Instruments
example, this would be done by using the ibwrt function call.
General Information 1-5 IEEE 488 GPIB Description
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 1-11
Response to GPIB Interface Function Messages
Table 1-3 lists the GPIB interface function messages that the MS464xB will recognize and respond to. With the
exception of the Device Clear and Selected Device Clear messages, these messages affect only the operation of
the VectorStar VNA GPIB interface. The VNA response for each message is indicated below. Interface function
messages are transmitted on the GPIB data lines and interface management lines as either unaddressed or
addressed to receive the commands. The manner in which these messages are invoked in programs is
implementation dependent. For more programming information, refer to the documentation included with the
GPIB interface used for the external controller and to the IEEE 488.1 specification.

•*RST - Instrument reset
•Lightning Commands
•RST - Instrument reset
•RST0 - Instrument reset
•RST1 - Instrument reset
•HP8510 Commands
•FACTPRES - Perform a factory preset
•PRES - Instrument reset
•Native SCPI Commands
•:SYSTem:PRESet - Performs Preset
•:SYSTem:PRESet:ZERo - Performs a Reset Zero
Background
ATE programs use a Reset command to return the VNA to a known state. Most large ATE programs which do
multiple operations use a Reset command at the start of each operation. However, allowing a Reset command
to alter GPIB addresses could unexpectedly cause loss of communication with the External Controller and/or
the External Instruments on the VNA Dedicated Bus. Therefore the reset commands listed above DO NOT
alter GPIB addresses.
Returning the GPIB Addresses to Default
If it is necessary to return the GPIB addresses associated with the VectorStar VNA to their normal default
values, use the following procedure.
1. Exit the VectorStar VNA application by selecting MENU BAR | File | Exit at the top of the Display. This
will return execution to the PC desktop.
2. Start the VectorStar Reset Application by double clicking its Icon (Yellow Starburst) on the Desktop.
3. When the VectorStar Reset Application starts up, click the Reset VectorStar button. This will sequentially
reset the VectorStar application and the VectorStar 100K application.
4. When done, exit the application.

1-7 Ethernet LAN TCP/IP and USB Description General Information
1-18 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
1-7 Ethernet LAN TCP/IP and USB Description
The VectorStar VNA supports Ethernet 10/100 BASE-T. The instrument is connected directly to the LAN via
the rear panel RJ-45 Ethernet Port using a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable.
The MS464xB Series VNAs can also be controlled remotely across a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type 2
network by a PC equipped with a USB control application using the rear panel USB Control Port.
The general requirements for manual Ethernet LAN configuration are discussed in the sections below.
TCP/IP General Requirements and Settings
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a network protocol. In the Windows operating
system, TCP/IP is automatically installed and in most cases, installation, configuration, and communication
are transparent to the user.
In a TCP/IP network, you must provide IP addresses and other information to clients. Clients may also require
a naming service or a method for name resolution. The TCP/IP protocol setup requires the following
information:
•IP Address
Every device in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address that consists of four numbers, each between 0
and 255, separated by periods. For example: 128.111.122.42 is a valid IP address.
•Subnet Mask
The subnet mask distinguishes the portion of the IP address that is the network identification (ID)
address from the portion that is the station ID address. When the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 is applied to
the IP address above, it would identify the network ID address as 128.111 and the station ID address as
122.42. All stations in the same Local Area Network (LAN) should have the same network ID, but
different station IDs.
•Default Gateway
A TCP/IP network can have a gateway to communicate beyond the LAN identified by the network ID. A
gateway is a computer or electronic device that is connected to two different networks and can move
TCP/IP data from one network to the other. A single LAN that is not connected to other LANs requires a
default gateway setting of 0.0.0.0. The default gateway setting for the VectorStar MS4640B Series VNA
is 0.0.0.0. If your network has a gateway, then the default gateway would be set to the appropriate value
of your gateway.
•Hardware Address (MAC Address)
An Ethernet address is a unique 48-bit value that identifies a network interface card internal to the
VNA to the rest of the network. Every network card has a unique Ethernet address permanently stored
into its memory.
•TCP/IP Port Number
Reports the currently used TCP/IP port number with Port #5001 set as the default. In general, it should
not be changed. If the port number is changed, do not change it to 5000 as that port is used by VXI-11.
Ports below #5000 are generally reserved for other services and devices. Custom settings generally
should use settings of #5001 and higher.
•Network Interface Setup
TCP/IP connectivity requires setting up the parameters described at the beginning of this section. You
may need to contact your network administrator or refer to your network documentation for further
assistance. The following procedure is a general overview of how to set up a general LAN connection on
both the VNA and the remote machine. The actual menus and sequence may vary.
Note
This section is provided for general information about manually configuring an Ethernet connection
and does not apply to USB networking. Consult your local network administrator for the exact
requirements and settings that are required for your network installation.

Default Plug-and-Play Configuration
The VectorStar VNA and its Windows operating system comes pre-configured and ready to plug into and
connect with an existing Ethernet network. The Ethernet network must provide DNS/DHCP and be configured
with a gateway.
Connection can also be made to a USB network. USB networks are typically auto-detecting without the need
for configuration; however, a special USB network cable (described below) is required.
The required PC-to-Instrument USB 2.0 networking cable (also called a USB-USB cable, USB networking
cable, or USB bridge cable) has a small electronic circuit module in the middle of the cable that allows the PC
and the VectorStar VNA to talk to each other at 480 Mbps. The PC-to-Instrument USB cable is user-provided
and does not come with the VectorStar VNA.
For Ethernet connection, connect the VectorStar VNA to the network with an Ethernet cable between the VNA
rear panel RJ-45 Ethernet Port and your local network port. For USB networks, use the USB network cable
defined above between the VNA rear panel USB Type 2 Port and your local network hub.
Windows will automatically detect the network settings and configure the network connection.
Warning
Using the wrong type of USB-USB cable can result in damage to the PC and/or VectorStar USB
ports and/or power supplies. Do NOT use a so-called “USB A/A” cable that is similar to a serial port
cross-over null-modem cable.

When the language is set to HP8510:
•The VectorStar VNA responds to SCPI commands on a secondary basis.
•And responds to Lightning commands on a tertiary basis.
Processing and response times are improved if the Remote Language setting matches the majority of the sent
commands. Scripts written in older versions of the Lightning command set or in the HP/Agilent 8510 command
set may need editing to be fully compatible with the VNA. Not all Lightning and HP/Agilent commands are
supported.
Procedure
If necessary, you can change the VNA default GPIB language from Native to Lightning or HP8510 as follows:
1. Navigate to the Remote Lang. menu:
MAIN | System | SYSTEM | Remote Interface | REMOTE INTER | Language Selection | REMOTE LANG
2. Select the interface language being used.
3. Click Back at the bottom of the menu to return to the REMOTE INTER menu.

1-9 Minimum/Maximum Instrument Frequency and Related Parameters
The minimum and maximum instrument frequencies depend on the instrument model and the installed
options. The general frequency limits for the :SENSe{1-16}:FREQuency subsystem and related commands are
defined below in Table 1-4, Table 1-5, Table 1-6, Table 1-7, and Table 1-8.
In general, the frequency default values and limits are affected by three factors:
•Instrument model number, which defines the VNA standalone instrument high-side frequency limit
•Installed options (Option 70), if equipped, which define the VNA instrument low-side limit. On MS464xB
Series VNAs, Option 70 provides a lower limit specified to 70 kHz, but which is allowed to go to 40 kHz.
•Attached broadband, millimeter-wave, and/or multiple source equipment (if equipped) that defines the
VNA system high-side frequency limit.
Standalone VNAs
For the base VNA, the frequency range is established by the models (for the high end) and options (for the low
end). For the higher frequency systems, the limits are dependent on the exact hardware being used and the
instrument mode.
The tables below provide standalone VNA frequency limits:
•Table 1-4, “Standalone VNAs – Default Start, Default CW, and Default Stop Frequencies” on page 1-23

VNA Systems with ME7828A Configured as Broadband System
For VNAs with ME7828A configured as a broadband system (mode selection and hardware selection):
•The VNA upper limit is 110 GHz
•The VNA lower limit is determined by the VNA installed option:
•With Option 70, the lower limit is specified to 70 kHz, but is allowed to go to 40 kHz.
•Without Option 70, the lower limit is 10 MHz.
VNA Systems with ME7828A Configured as a Millimeter-Wave System
For VNAs with ME7828A configured as a millimeter-wave system, the frequency range is established by the
selected waveguide band. For example, 325 GHz to 500 GHz for WR-2.2.
VNA Systems with ME7828A Using Multiple Source
For VNAs with ME7828A configured using multiple sources, the frequency range is defined by the band
equations and the installed hardware. The VNA system has no knowledge of the exact frequency range so it
will report that of the base VNA.

Chapter 2 — Programming the VectorStar
Series VNA
2-1 Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to programming the VectorStar VNA with the SCPI programming
language. It also includes descriptions of the command types that the MS4640B accepts, program command
structures, data parameters and input/output specifications, and notational conventions. Information on the
MS4640B status system and trigger system programming is also provided.
2-2 Introduction to SCPI Programming
The Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) defines a set of standard programming
commands for use by all SCPI compatible instruments. SCPI is intended to give the ATE user a consistent
environment for program development. It does so by defining controller messages, instrument responses, and
message formats for all SCPI compatible instruments. The IEEE 488 (GPIB) interface for the MS4640B is
designed to conform to the requirements of SCPI 1999.0. The set of SCPI commands implemented by the
MS4640B GPIB interface provides a comprehensive set of programming functions covering all of the major
functions of the MS4640B.
Command Types
SCPI commands, which are also referred to as SCPI instructions, are messages to the instrument to perform
specific tasks. The MS4640B command set, introduced in this chapter, includes these command types:
•“IEEE 488.2 Commands”
•“System Commands”
•“SCPI Commands”
•“Native SCPI Commands”
•“Anritsu Lightning VNA Commands”
•“HP8510 Commands”
Note
When operating the VectorStar VNA through remote programming, the front panel user interface and
controls are disabled. To return to local front panel control, press the front panel Clear/Tab key
[Clr -->|], keyboard Esc key, or send the RTL command.
For general information about GPIB, refer to Section 1-5 “IEEE 488 GPIB Description”.
2-3 IEEE 488.2 Commands Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-2 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
2-3 IEEE 488.2 Commands
The IEEE-488.2 commands are defined in the IEEE-488.2 standard and must be implemented by all SCPI
compatible instruments. The mandated commands listed in Table 2-1 are identified by the asterisk (*) at the
beginning of the command keyword. These commands are used to control instrument status registers, status
reporting, synchronization, and other common functions. The IEEE 488.2 required common commands are
described in detail in the first half of Chapter 3, “IEEE Commands” starting with “IEEE 488.2 Commands”
on page 3-2.
2-4 System Commands
The set of system commands are primarily used to control the state of the MS4640B for system diagnostics,
hardware calibration, and troubleshooting.
2-5 SCPI Commands
There are two general classifications of SCPI commands described in the two sections below. They are:
•Required (or mandated) SCPI Commands
•Native SCPI Commands
Note that the Required SCPI Commands are a subset of the Native SCPI commands.
Required SCPI Commands
The required SCPI commands are listed in the table below
The SCPI Required Commands are described in detail in Chapter 5, “SCPI Commands” in the following
sections:
•“:STATus:OPERation Subsystem” on page 5-701
•“:STATus:QUEStionable Subsystem” on page 5-703
•“:SYSTem Subsystem” on page 5-706

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-3
Native SCPI Commands
The majority of the commands are native SCPI commands and are also described in detail in Chapter 5, “SCPI
Commands”.
The commands are organized into subsystems, starting with the
“:CALCulate{1-16}:APPLication:MEASurement Subsystem” on page 5-14 and ending with the
“:TRIGger[:SEQuence] Subsystem” on page 5-723.
Depending on the number of keywords in the command, the subsystems are grouped by either the first two
keywords (such as :CALCulate:MARKer Subsystem) or the first three keywords (such as
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:CONVersion Subsystem)
The commands are listed in strict ASCII sort sequence.
See the sections below starting with “Command Requirements” on page 2-4 for definitions of parameters and
other notations.
2-6 Anritsu Lightning VNA Commands
Many (but not all) commands used on the Anritsu Lightning 37xxxD/E VNAs are supported on the MS4640B
Series VNA. The supported and non-supported commands are described in the companion manual, VectorStar
MS464xB Series VNA Programming Manual Supplement – 10410-00323.
For additional detailed information on Lightning 37xxxx VNA commands and programming the Anritsu
Lightning 37xxxD/E VNAs, refer to either of the following manuals available on the Anritsu web site:
•Lightning 37xxxD Programming Manual – 10410-00262
•Lightning 37xxxE Programming Manual – 10410-00301
Using Anritsu Lightning VNA Commands
All Anritsu Lightning VNA commands operate on the VectorStar MS4640B VNA Active Channel, and there
are no Lightning commands which can change the VectorStar VNA active channel to another one. If the
VectorStar VNA is configured with multiple channels, the Lightning commands will then only operate on the
currently active VectorStar channel. No error will be generated. Other Lightning command limitations are
noted in the command listing in the Programming Manual Supplement – 10410-00323. See the sections below
for definitions of parameters and other notations.
VectorStar VNA Language Set to Lightning
When using Anritsu Lightning commands, note that:
1. Recognition of the Lightning command set is provided for compatibility with existing Lightning ATE
programs, and the use of the Lightning command set is not recommended for new development.
2. Some of the Lightning commands may not work as expected if the programming Language is not set to
Lightning via the LANG command (or LANG LIGHT).
•For example, markers in the Native language are trace based. This means that each trace has its
own set of markers, independent of the other traces.
•In Lightning there are only 6 markers. If you move Marker1 on Trace1 to 3 GHz, Marker1 on the
other 3 traces will also go to 3 GHz.
If you want the Lightning behavior on the markers, you need to set the Language to Lightning.
2-7 HP8510 Commands
Many commands used on the HP8510 VNA are also supported on the MS464xB Series VNA. The supported
commands are described in detail in the aforementioned Programming Manual Supplement – 10410-00323.
See the sections below for definitions of parameters and other notations.
2-8 Command Requirements Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-4 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
2-8 Command Requirements
Query Commands
All commands, unless specifically noted in the commands syntax descriptions, have a query form. Exceptions
are noted as:
•Commands without a query form have a query status of “No Query”.
•Queries without a command form have a query status of “Query Only”.
As defined in IEEE-488.2, a query is a command with a question mark symbol appended (examples are
*ESR? and *TST?). When a query form of a command is received, the current setting associated with the
command is placed in the output buffer. Query commands always return the short form of the parameter. For
example, NORMal or INVerted is returned as NORM or INV. Boolean values are returned as 1 or 0, even when
they can be set as ON or OFF.
Command Names
Typical SCPI commands consist of one or more keywords, parameters, and punctuation. SCPI command
keywords can be a mixture of upper and lower case characters. Except for common commands, each keyword
has a long and a short form. In this manual, the long form is presented with the short form in upper case and
the remainder in lower case. For example, the long form of the command keyword to control the instrument
display is :DISPlay.
The short form keyword is usually the first four characters of the long form (example: DISP for DISPlay). The
exception to this is when the long form is longer than four characters and the fourth character is a vowel. In
such cases, the vowel is dropped and the short form becomes the first three characters of the long form.
Example: the short form of the keyword :POWer is :POW.
Some command keywords may have a numeric suffix to differentiate between multiple instrument features
such as multiple pulse widths. For example, keywords :WIDTh2 (or :WIDT2).
As with any programming language, the exact command keywords and command syntax must be used. The
syntax of the individual commands is described in detail in Chapter 5, “SCPI Commands”. Unrecognized
versions of long form or short form commands, or improper syntax, will generate an error.
Hierarchical Command Structure
All SCPI commands, except the common commands, are organized in a hierarchical structure similar to the
inverted tree file structure used in most computers. The SCPI standard refers to this structure as “the
Command Tree.” The command keywords that correspond to the major instrument control functions are
located at the top of the command tree. The command keywords for the MS4640B SCPI command set are
shown in the diagram below.
Figure 2-1. MS4640B Partial SCPI Command Tree
Programming the VectorStar Series VNA 2-8 Command Requirements
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-5
All MS4640B SCPI commands have one or more subcommands (keywords) associated with them to further
define the instrument function to be controlled. The subcommand keywords may also have one or more
associated subcommands (keywords). Each subcommand level adds another layer to the command tree. The
command keyword and its associated subcommand keywords form a portion of the command tree called a
command subsystem. The :FORMat command subsystem is shown below.
Data Parameters
Data parameters, referred to simply as “parameters,” are the quantitative values used as arguments for the
command keywords. The parameter type associated with a particular SCPI command is determined by the
type of information required to control the particular instrument function. For example, Boolean (ON | OFF)
type parameters are used with commands that control switch functions.
The command descriptions in Chapter 5, “SCPI Commands” specify the type of data parameter to be used with
each command. The most commonly used parameter types are numeric, extended numeric, discrete, and
Boolean.
•Numeric
Numeric parameters comprise integer numbers or any number in decimal or scientific notation, and may
include polarity signs. This includes <NR1>, <NR2>, and <NR3> numeric data as defined in “Parameter
Notations” on page 2-7. This type of numeric element is abbreviated as <NRf> throughout this
document.
•Extended Numeric
Extended numeric parameters include values such as MAXimum and MINimum. Extended numerics are
not supported in the current MS4640B SCPI implementation.
•Discrete
Discrete parameters, such as INTernal and EXTernal, are used to control program settings to a
predetermined finite value or condition.
•Boolean
Boolean parameters represent binary conditions and may be expressed as ON, OFF or 1, 0.
Figure 2-2. SCPI :FORMat Subsystem
Note
The VectorStar command parser will generally accept all numerical values within the parameter
ranges specified. In cases where a command parameter value is outside of the indicated range or
resolution of the instrument, the nearest appropriate value will be entered.
2-9 Notational Conventions Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-6 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
2-9 Notational Conventions
The SCPI interface standardizes command syntax and style that simplifies the task of programming across a
wide range of instrumentation. As with any programming language, the exact command keywords and
command syntax must be used. Unrecognized commands or improper syntax will not function.
General Notations
The syntax conventions that are used for all SCPI command keywords and data parameter descriptions in this
manual are described below:
For further information about SCPI command syntax and style, refer to the Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments (SCPI) 1999.0 document.
Table 2-3. General Notations
:
A colon links command keywords together to form commands. The colon is not an actual
part of the keyword, but is a signal to the SCPI interface parser. A colon must precede a root
keyword immediately following a semicolon (see “Notational Examples” on page 2-8).
;A semicolon separates commands if multiple commands are placed on a single program line
(see “Notational Examples” on page 2-8).
[ ] Square brackets enclose one or more optional keywords.
{ } Braces enclose one or more keyword parameters that may be included one or more times.
|
A vertical bar (also called a “pipe”) indicates “or” and is used to separate alternative
parameter options.
For Example: ON | OFF is the same as ON or OFF.
< > Angle brackets enclose parameter descriptions.
::= Means “is defined as” For example: <a>::=<b><c> indicates that <b><c> can replace <a>.

2-9 Notational Conventions Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-8 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Notational Examples
The following is an example showing command syntax:
:SENSe1:FREQuency:STARt 2.0E9
Command statements read from left to right and from top to bottom. In the command statement above, the
:FREQuency keyword immediately follows the :SENSe1 keyword with no separating space. A space is
required between the command string and its argument.
Note that the first keyword in the command string does not require a leading colon; however, it is good practice
to always use a leading colon for all keywords.
The following is an example of a multiple command statement that uses two separate commands in a single
statement:
:SENSe1:FREQuency:STARt 2.0E9;:SENSe1:FREQuency:STOP 20.0E9
Using the command keyword short form, the command string above would be:
:SENS1:FREQ:STAR 2.0E9;:SENS1:FREQ:STOP 20.0E9
Note the semicolon used to join the commands. Also note the leading colon used immediately after the
semicolon.
Band Equation
MPNI, Limited by the band equation. The band equation depends whether or not CW is set.
If CW is off, the band equation equals:
Source = (Multiplier/Divisor) x (Frequency plus Offset Frequency)
If CW is on, the band equation equals:
Source = (Multiplier/Divisor) + Offset Frequency

2-11 Data Transmission Methods
Data transmissions to and from the MS4640B conform to the protocols specified by the IEEE 488.2 GPIB
Standard. The 488.2 Standard specifies how any data, such as ASCII numbers, strings, or blocks of data bytes,
will be transmitted over the GPIB. This section describes the various transmission methods in use by the
MS4640B. The transmission method names described below (also called notations) will be used throughout the
Programming Manual when describing specific MS4640B data transfer commands. Data transmission
notations are easily distinguished in text as they are always shown surrounded by the “less than” and the
“greater than” characters (< >). The transmission type notations used in describing various MS4640B VNA
data transmissions are:
•For ASCII numbers, the notations are: <NR1>, <NR2>, <NR3>, or <NRf>
•For ASCII strings (printable characters and print formatting codes), the notation is: <string>
•For generic (7-bit) ASCII characters, the notation is: <Arbitrary ASCII>
•For generic binary bytes, (7-bit ASCII or binary), the notation is: <block>
<NR1>
This notation represents ASCII integer values. A comma (,) is used to separate multiple values sent in a single
command's input or output string. Examples of values that can be represented by <NR1> notation:
10
-29,179
<NR2>
This notation represents ASCII floating point values in decimal point format. A comma (,) is used to separate
multiple values sent in a single command's input or output string. Examples of values that can be represented
by <NR2> notation:
1.0
-0.00015
12.743,-180.07
<NR3>
This notation represents ASCII floating point values in exponential format (scientific notation). A comma (,) is
used to separate multiple values sent in a single command's input or output string. Examples of values that
can be represented by <NR3> notation:
1.0E9
-7.056E3
9.0E-2,3.42E2
<NRf>
This notation is used to signify that data can be in either <NR1>, <NR2>, or <NR3> format as described above.
Examples of values that can be represented by <NRf> notation:
1.0E-9
10.005
-83,4.5E2,-234.9901
Programming the VectorStar Series VNA 2-11 Data Transmission Methods
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-11
<string>
This notation represents a string of ASCII characters (including non-printable characters) that is delimited
(surrounded) with either single quotes (' ') or double quotes (" "). The string can include text formatting
characters such as line feed, space, carriage return, or printer control characters. Note that if a double quote
character must be sent as part of the string, then it must be followed by an additional double quote.
Alternatively, the string can be sent using single quotes (See "cal_file" example below). Examples of data
represented by <string> notation:
"1/15/98"
"Save ""cal_file"" now"
'Save "cal_file" now'
<ASCII> or <Arbitrary ASCII>
This notation represents undelimited 7-bit ASCII text. The end of the text must be terminated with the 0A
character (decimal 10) and concurrent setting (^) of the GPIB End of Transmission State (EOI). This
requirement makes it necessary for <Arbitrary ASCII> text to be transmitted only at the end of a program or
response message, i.e., at the end of a multiple input or output statement. Example of data represented by
<Arbitrary ASCII> notation:
ANRITSU,MS4642B,123456,1.0<0A^EOI>
The example shows a sample response from the *IDN?, 488.2 common query. In the example, the instrument
identifies itself as an ANRITSU MS4642B, with serial number 123456, and software version 1.0 installed.
<block> or <arbitrary block>
This notation represents data that is transmitted as 8-bit data bytes (00–FF hex, 0–255 decimal, notation is
<DAB>). This is useful for transmitting large blocks of:
•Formatted ASCII data
•Formatted XML data
•Formatted binary data
•Unformatted binary data
The data stream is immediately preceded by a variable length ASCII header that is encoded with the number
of data bytes to be sent. The header always starts with the pound (#) character. The header and the
transmitted data messages are described as follows:
#nm1..mn<DAB1>...<DABm>
Where:
# = The pound sign character. Required for binary data transfer.
n = Number of digits to follow (m1..mn) that make up the number m.
m1..mn = Taken together, this makes up the number m which is the number of data bytes to follow that
constitute the requested data.
<DAB> = An 8 bit binary data byte. This is the data (or information) being sent.
Note Note that decimal 10 (0A character) must be sent with the EOI to signal the end of transmission.
Note
If n = 0, then m is omitted, and transmission end is signaled by sending the line feed character (0A,
or decimal 10) and concurrent setting (^) of the GPIB End Of Transmission State (EOI) immediately
following the last <DAB>.

2-12 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Example 1: #3204<DAB1>...<DAB204>
Example 1 shows how 204 8-bit bytes are transmitted using the proper header. The header in this example is
comprised of 5 characters (#3204). It begins with the pound character (#). The next character (3) indicates
there are 3 digits to follow that indicate the number of bytes being transmitted (204). The next three characters
(204) indicate the number of data bytes being transmitted immediately after the header. Next comes the actual
data bytes, or information, being transmitted (<DAB1>...<DAB204>).
Example 2: #512808<DAB1>...<DAB12808>
Example 2 shows how 12808 bytes are transmitted using the proper header. The header in this example is
comprised of 7 characters (#512808). It begins with the pound character (#). The next character (5) indicates
there are 5 digits to follow that indicate the number of bytes being transmitted (12808). The next five
characters (12808) indicate the number of data bytes being transmitted immediately after the header. Next
comes the actual data bytes, or information, being transmitted (<DAB1>...<DAB12808>).
Example 3: #0<DAB1>...<DABm><0A^EOI>
Example 3 shows how an unknown number of bytes are transmitted using the proper header. The header in
this example is comprised of 2 characters (#0). As usual, the header begins with the pound character (#). The
next character (0) indicates there is an unknown number of data bytes being transmitted immediately after the
header. Next comes the actual data bytes being transmitted (<DAB1>...<DABm>). The end of the data stream
is signaled by sending the line feed character (0A, or decimal 10) and concurrent setting (^) of the GPIB End of
Transmission State (EOI).
Note
Examples 1 and 2 above demonstrate the <block> form referred to as <Definite Length Arbitrary
Block>. It is so called because the number of data bytes being transmitted is known from the
encoded header.
Note
Example 3, above, demonstrates a special form of <block> data referred to as the <Indefinite Length
Arbitrary Block>. It is so called because the number of data bytes being transmitted is unknown, and
therefore cannot be encoded in the header. Instead, the header always consists of the pound and
zero characters (#0) and end of the data stream is always signaled by sending the line feed
character (0A, or decimal 10) and concurrent setting (^) of the GPIB End of Transmission State
(EOI). This requirement makes it necessary for <Indefinite Length Arbitrary Block> text to be
transmitted only at the end of a program or response message (at the end of a multiple input or
output statement).

Formatting Data Output
Three commands are provided to alter the way the arbitrary block header for output data is formed.
•FDH0
Specifies that the length of the arbitrary block header will be minimized; that is, the byte count section
will not contain leading zeros, thus its length is indeterminate. This means that a program must decode
the header in order to skip over it. FDH0 is the default mode when the programming language is selected
as Lightning (see “Configuring the Remote Language” on page 1-21).
•FDH1
Specifies that the length of the arbitrary block header will be fixed at 11 characters. This is accomplished
by forcing leading zeros as required in the byte count section. This means that a program can skip over
the arbitrary block header by skipping 11 characters. FDH1 is the default mode when the programming
language is selected as Native (see “Configuring the Remote Language” on page 1-21).
•FDH2
Specifies that no arbitrary block header will be sent with the next transmission. This mode is not in
compliance with IEEE 488.2 specifications and will persist for all subsequent program messages.
•FDHX?
FDH mode query yields the following results:
•0: FDH0
•1: FDH1
•2: FDH2

ASCII or Binary Data Format
The following sections discuss the various data output formats:
Non-Array Data
The formats used for data transfers not involving numerical data arrays are preset. They always occur in
either binary format or ASCII format, depending on the data. These data transfers include a variety of
information. Examples include:
•Instrument setup strings
•Marker data, queries
•Disk directory listings
Numerical Data Arrays
Numerical data array transfers are used to transfer the following types of data:
•Measurement data
•Calibration data
•Sweep frequency, time, or distance values
Each of these data transfer types are individually explained below. You can select either binary or ASCII
format for data transfers involving numerical data arrays. The commands described below select and keep the
format for all subsequent data transfers.
•ASCII Format - FMA
ASCII formatted values represented in <NR1>, <NR2>, <NR3>, or <NRf> formats. The MS4640B VNA
accepts any of the above formats as input. It will always output values using <NR3> exponential format
with each value represented using 18 characters plus a comma to separate multiple values.
•Binary Formats
•FMB
Each eight consecutive data bytes represent one floating point value in IEEE 754 64-bit format
(double precision, 8 byte, floating point value).
•FMC
Each four consecutive data bytes represent one floating point value in IEEE 754 32-bit format
(single precision, 4 byte, floating point value).
•FMX?
FMA, FMB, FMC format selection query
•Byte Ordering
•MSB
Byte ordering is most significant byte first. For use only with FMB and FMC. This is the optional
byte mode for the MS4640B.
•LSB
Byte ordering is least significant byte first. For use with FMB and FMC. This is required for
transferring data to/from Intel/IBM based computers. LSB is the default mode.
•XSB?
MSB, LSB format selection query.
•FMT0
Turn ASCII enhancement off (normal default mode).
•FMT1
Turn ASCII enhancement on.
•FMTX?

Enhanced ASCII Formatting
Enhanced ASCII formatting can be applied to both non-array ASCII data and numerical data arrays in the
FMA format when this data is output within an <block> format. The format selectively replaces comma data
element separators with a line feeds (ASCII 10) in order to enhance the visual effect. The following provides
two examples of this enhanced structure:

Programming the VectorStar Series VNA 2-12 Calculating the Byte Size
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-17
2-12 Calculating the Byte Size
This section describes the factors for calculating the byte size of responses to selected remote-only queries. The
byte size of the resultant data from several of the remote only queries depends on several factors:
•Parameters per Output
•Numbers Output per Data Point
•Bytes Output per Number
•Size of Block Data
•Number of Bytes Output
Numbers Output-per-Data Point (NODP)
The data for each data point is a complex number (A + jB) where A and B are floating point numbers. This data
is saved internally for use and possible future output. Additionally, if an RF correction is active, the RF
correction is applied to the RAW measurement and the result is saved internally for use and possible future
output. Either the RAW or CORRECTED data are taken and converted into the data format for the display
type selected.
This data is saved internally in the FORMATTED (final) measurement form for use and possible future
output. When this conversion takes place, the data will, in most cases, still be two orthogonal numbers.
However, several of the displays types throw away a portion of the data and the result will be one number only.
The display types that produce only one number are:
•Group Delay
•Imaginary
•Linear Magnitude
•Log Magnitude
•Phase
•Power Out
•Real
•SWR
To summarize, the RAW, CORRECTED, and FORMATTED data output will be two numbers-per-point, unless
the display type is one of those mentioned above.
Bytes Output-per-Number (BOPN)
The number of bytes output per number is shown below:
Table 2-6. Bytes Output per Number

2-18 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Size of Data Block (SODB)
In the case where there is only one parameter to output, the formula is:
SODB = NODP * BOPN * Number of points in the sweep
If the command is O4SC, O4FD, or O4SR, the formula is:
SODB = 8 * BOPN * Number of points in the sweep
Number of Bytes Output (NBO)
The number of bytes output is the number of bytes transmitted over the GPIB. In most cases, the data block is
proceeded by an arbitrary block header followed by an end character (line feed), as shown below:
•Response Message = [Arbitrary Block Header] + [Data Block] + [End Character]
The size of the end character is one byte. The size of the arbitrary block header is variable between 2 and 11. If
we always assume an arbitrary block header size of 11, then: NBO = 12 + SODB. For example:
•The VNA is set up for a one channel, four-trace display with a 1601 point sweep.
•Trace 1 is displaying S11 in LogMag and Phase format
•Trace 2 is displaying S12 in LogMag format
•Trace 3 is displaying S21 in Phase format
•Trace 4 is displaying S22 in Smith Chart format
•The output formatting commands CH2, FMC, and LSB are received
The number of output bytes for the O4FD query command is:
NBO = 12 + 8 * 4 * 1601 = 51244 bytes
The number of output bytes for the ORD query command is:
NBO = 12 + 2 * 4 * 1601 = 12820 bytes
The number of output bytes for the OFD3 query command is:
NBO = 12 + 1 * 4 * 1601 = 6416 bytes
The number of output bytes for the FMA or O4SR query command is:
NBO = 12 + 8 * 19 * 1601 = 243364 bytes
2-13 GPIB Input Buffer Size and NRFD Holdoff
VectorStar VNAs provide a very large input buffer that can hold up to 100 commands. Each command plus any
associated data can be as large as the amount of memory available in the VNA at the time. If a programmer
attempts to exceed 100 commands, the GPIB bus will go into Not Ready For Data (NRFD) Holdoff. This Holdoff
condition will hold onto the controller PC until a command is executed which frees up room for another
command. Then the new command will be read in. Some controller PCs can detect this Holdoff condition and
programmers interpret this condition as an Error. It is not an Error. Rather, it is a function provided by any
listener device to guarantee that commands and data are not lost. It might be an ATE program error, but not a
VNA error.
Programming the VectorStar Series VNA 2-14 Synchronization of GPIB Commands
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-19
2-14 Synchronization of GPIB Commands
The VectorStar VNA provides synchronization of the GPIB by executing commands in a serial fashion.
Subsequent commands will not be parsed and executed until the current GPIB command is parsed and
completely executed. Indeed, as far as VNA operations are concerned, if this serial execution method is not
incorporated, the VNA, the GPIB bus, and the controller PC will be in chaos. Avoiding this chaos condition is so
important that the IEEE488.2 standard mandated 3 commands to be provided: *OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI.
This synchronization is accomplished by the GPIB parser which waits for a Completed signal from the internal
interface after starting execution of the command. While the parser is waiting, it is not parsing newer
commands. Subsequent commands are put into the input buffer, awaiting their turn to be parsed and executed.
2-15 Forcing the Parser to Stop Waiting
The parser will wait forever for the Completed signal as discussed above in “Synchronization of GPIB
Commands”. Therefore there is no GPIB command (which would itself require parsing) that can stop the
parser from waiting. The controller PC will have to send a GPIB bus command called Device Clear (DCL) or
Selected Device Clear (SDC). SDC is directed at a particular device address. DCL will perform the same action
on all devices on the Bus. Among the required things DCL and SDC do is reset the Parser. This causes the
parser to stop waiting for the ‘Completed’ signal and get ready to execute a command. In the IEEE488.2
Specification, see IEEE488.2 Section 5.8 and IEEE488.1 Section 4.10 for a discussion of DCL and SDC.
2-16 How Can I Abort an RF or Hardware Calibration
Flat Test Port Power Calibration and Linearity Calibrations are also Hardware Calibrations. From the front
panel, an operator can start and abort these calibrations with ease. Usually there is a STOP or ABORT button.
One can also send the GPIB command ‘ABORT’ to abort these manually initiated calibrations. However, when
a calibration is initiated from the GPIB, the parser is busy waiting for the ‘Completed’ message from the
internal interface and is not available to parse the ‘ABORT’ command to abort the calibration. Refer to the two
sections above ‘Synchronization of GPIB commands’ and ‘Forcing the Parser to stop waiting’ to see how that is
done. Once the parser is ready for a new command, send the ‘ABORT’ command.
2-17 GPIB Time-Out Settings
VectorStar and Lightning VNAs provide synchronization with the GPIB by executing commands in a serial
fashion. A new command will not be parsed and executed until the previous command has finished processing.
Therefore, the synchronization commands stipulated in IEEE 488.2 (*OPC?, *OPC, and *WAI) execute with
ease.
Lightning VNAs provide a very large input buffer that permits storing many commands until they can be
executed. The VectorStar VNAs can store very large command strings (a series of characters terminated with a
line feed), but only two strings at most. This creates a situation where the GPIB bus can go into Not Ready for
Data (NRFD) hold off if the controller sends more than two command strings at a time. NRFD hold off will hold
onto the controller until it can store the data byte that is currently being transferred. This hold off merely
guarantees that no data byte will be lost from a message. Although some controllers can detect this hold off, it's
occurrence is of no consequence and it is how instruments are kept communicating at the same rate on the
GPIB.
Note For more information, see the descriptions of the *OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI commands in
Chapter 3, “IEEE Commands”.
2-17 GPIB Time-Out Settings Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-20 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Some commands may take a very long time to execute, such as waiting for the end of a sweep when the IF
bandwidth is very low (1 Hz to 100 Hz). In spite of the long sweep time, the controller should avoid timing out
because it creates a situation where synchronization and data can be lost. A controller time-out also leaves the
GPIB and the VNA in an unknown I/O state. This unknown I/O state may not be responsive because the proper
data handshake has been interrupted, thus creating a hung bus.
In many cases, the GPIB parser will also be busy participating in a long event, such as when the commands
TRS;WFS are sent. The parser will not be available until the sweep is finished. The only way to get the parser
to stop its current task and start processing new commands is to assert the Interface Clear Line (IFC) and
issue a GPIB bus command called Device Clear (DCL). These two commands together brings the parser back to
the Ready for Data (RFD) state. The commands also reset the input and output buffers, which results in both
input and output data being lost.
Below is a sequence that shows how to apply a time-out properly:
SETTIMEOUT(40000); // Sets a longer time-out for the controller.
OUTPUT ; RST // RST (reset) is a command that can take 30 seconds or longer.
ENTER ; ONP // Outputs the number of points. The actual wait occurs here.
SETTIMEOUT(20000); // Sets the time-out back to its normal value.
Setting the proper time-out on the controller is very important to guarantee that the GPIB will be
synchronized and data will not be lost. One should choose a time-out that allows most operations to finish
without problems and set the time-out to different values on those commands that require a longer time to
execute. If time-outs do occur in program execution, the time-out settings for the particular commands in
question should be increased. If a time-out is due to an application error, such as sending a syntax error
preceding a query or an impossible state is set up such as being in HOLD and waiting for the end of the sweep,
the coding error should be fixed and the time-out setting left as it is. Timing out also leaves the bus in an
unknown I/O state, so a DCL should be sent to synchronize handshaking. USB or VXI-11 do not provide an
IFC, but they do provide a DCL.

files are usually bundled together on a floppy disk.
To use the files, transfer from the floppy disk to a
USB memory device. When plugged into an
MS4640B Series VNA, the USB drive is identified as
drive E:\. Files can be manually loaded by
navigating to drive E:\ and selecting the files. The
MS4640B VNA Series VNA then loads all of files.
Alternatively, use the Lightning LKT command to
load all of the calibration kit files.
The Lightning calibration kit files all have a base

2-20 Status System Reporting Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-28 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
2-20 Status System Reporting
The MS4640B status system consists of the following SCPI-defined status-reporting structures:
•The Instrument Summary Status Byte Group
•The Standard Event Status Group
•The Operation Status Group
•The Questionable Status Group
The following paragraphs describe the registers that make up a status group and explain the status
information that each status group provides.
Status Group Registers
In general, a status group consists of a condition register, a transition filter, an event register, and an enable
register. Each component is briefly described in the following paragraphs.
Condition Register
The condition register is continuously updated to reflect the current status of the MS4640B. There is no
latching or buffering for this register, it is updated in real time. Reading the contents of a condition register
does not change its contents.
Transition Filter
The transition filter is a special register that specifies which types of bit state changes in the condition register
will set corresponding bits in the event register.
•Negative transition filters (NTR) are used to detect condition changes from True (1) to False (0).
•Positive transition filters (PTR) are used to detect condition changes from False (0) to True (1).
•Setting both positive and negative filters True allows an event to be reported anytime the condition
changes.
•Transition filters are read-write.
•Transition filters are unaffected by queries or *CLS (clear status) and *RST commands.
Event Register
The event register latches transition events from the condition register as specified by the transition filter. Bits
in the event register are latched, and once set they remain set until cleared by a query or a *CLS command
Event registers are read only.
Enable Register
The enable register specifies the bits in the event register that can produce a summary bit. The MS4640B
logically ANDs corresponding bits in the event and enable registers, and ORs all the resulting bits to obtain a
summary bit. Summary bits are recorded in the Summary Status Byte. Enable registers are read-write.
Querying an enable register does not affect it.
Status Group Reporting
The state of certain MS4640B hardware and operational events and conditions can be determined by
programming the status system. Three lower status groups provide status information to the Summary Status
Byte group. The Summary Status Byte group is used to determine the general nature of an event or condition
and the other status groups are used to determine the specific nature of the event or condition. The following
paragraphs explain the information that is provided by each status group. Programming commands for the
status system, including examples of command usage, can be found in Chapter 5, “SCPI Commands”.

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-29
The Summary Status Byte group, consisting of the Summary Status Byte Enable register and the Summary
Status Byte, is used to determine the general nature of a MS4640B event or condition. The bits in the
Summary Status Byte provide the following:
Standard Event Status Group
The Standard Event Status group, consisting of the Standard Event Status register (an Event register) and the
Standard Event Status Enable register, is used to determine the specific event that set bit 5 of the Summary
Status Byte. The bits in the Standard Event Status register provide the following:
Operation Status Group
Table 2-9. Status Byte Group
Bit # Bit Name Description
0,1 Not Used These bits are always set to 0.
2Error Queue
(ERRQ)
Set to indicate the Error Queue contains data. The Error Query command can
then be used to read the error message(s) from the queue.
3
Questionable Event
(QUEST)
Set to indicate the Questionable Status summary bit has been set. The
Questionable Status Event register can then be read to determine the specific
condition that caused the bit to be set.
4Message Available

Set to indicate that the MS4640B has data ready in its output queue.
5
Standard Event
(STD)
Set to indicate that the Standard Event Status summary bit has been set. The
Standard Event Status register can then be read to determine the specific
event that caused the bit to be set.
6
Master Summary
Status
(MSS/RQS)
Set to indicate that the MS4640B has at least one reason to require service.
This bit is also called the Master Summary Status Bit (MSS). The individual bits
in the Status Byte are ANDed with their corresponding Service Request Enable
Register bits, then each bit value is ORed and input to this bit.
7
Operation Event
(OPER)
Set to indicate that the Operation Status summary bit has been set. The
Operation Status Event register can then be read to determine the specific
condition that caused the bit to be set.

Operation Complete
(OP)
Set to indicate that all pending MS4640B operations were completed following
execution of the “*OPC” command.
For more information, see the descriptions of the *OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI
commands in Chapter 3, “IEEE Commands”.
1Not Used The bit is always set to 0.
2Query Error Set to indicate that a query error has occurred.
3Device Dependent

2-21 Trigger System Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-34 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
2-21 Trigger System
The MS4640B trigger system is used to synchronize analyzer actions with software trigger commands. The
VNA follows the layered trigger model used in SCPI instruments. The following paragraphs describe the
operation of the analyzer’s trigger system. A sample logic flowchart of the trigger model is shown in Figure 2-4.
A sample timing reference of the trigger model is shown in Figure 2-5.
Trigger Modes
The trigger system supports four different trigger modes:
•Internal Trigger Mode
This is an automatic triggered point-by-point measurement that is internally controlled by the DSP
software.
•Manual Trigger Mode
Manual mode is triggered by the user from the front panel to start a measurement based on a per point,
a per sweep (or a per port), or a per channel (or all channels) trigger mode.
•GPIB Trigger Mode
GPIB mode is triggered by a GPIB trigger command to start a measurement based on a point-per-point,
a sweep-per-sweep (or a port-per-port), or a channel-per-channel (or all channels).
•External Trigger Mode
•External mode is triggered through the rear panel input of the instrument to start a measurement based
on a point-per-point, a sweep-per-sweep (or a port-per-port), or a channel-per-channel (or all channels)
trigger mode.
•The external trigger system allows the user to select a positive or negative edge trigger to start the
measurement.
•A trigger delay can also be applied to a measurement right after an external trigger is received by
the instrument and just before the measurement begins.
•The external trigger has an additional feature to handle trigger handshaking, which uses the
“Ready for Trigger” and “Trigger Output” output signals through the rear panel of the instrument.
•The Ready for Trigger signal is sent from the instrument to the rear panel output when the system
is ready to accept an external trigger.
•The Trigger Output pulse signal is sent to the rear panel when the system has completed a
measurement.

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-35
The following diagram is a flowchart of the triggering logic:

2-21 Trigger System Programming the VectorStar Series VNA
2-36 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Trigger Timing
The timing diagram below illustrates the general measurement sequence of per-point triggering using a
positive trigger edge. Trigger Delay, Ready for Trigger, and Trigger Output are only used by an external
trigger.
The trigger sequence with trigger handshake turned on is as follows (Trigger Handshake enables “Ready for
Trigger” and “Trigger Output”:
1. A trigger measurement is received from the State machine.
2. Ready for Trigger (rear panel BNC output) is set to low to indicate that the instrument is ready for
trigger.
3. External trigger (rear panel BNC input) is received.
4. After the external trigger is received, the Ready for Trigger (rear panel BNC output) is set to high to
indicate that the system is not ready for trigger and the trigger delay is added.
5. The data measurement is started.
6. At the completion of the data measurement, the Trigger Output (rear panel BNC output) is pulsed to
indicate that the measurement is completed.
7. The Level Dip and/or the LLoad pulse are executed.
8. The next frequency is preloaded and the State machine is triggered.
Figure 2-5. Sample Trigger Model
Note
Trigger handshaking is enabled with:
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:EXTernal:HANDshake[:STATe]
If handshaking is not in use, steps 2, 4, and 6 are deleted, but the trigger delay is still present.
Programming the VectorStar Series VNA 2-22 Calibration Component Parameters
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 2-37
2-22 Calibration Component Parameters
The calibration component parameter values depend on the calibration kit used and the reset status of the
instrument. The tables below, starting with Table 2-14, “Loads and Through-Line Values” on page 2-37 and
ending with Table 2-21 on page 2-42 summarize parameters related to calibration components and list the
factory default values for the various connector coefficients and lengths. These values may change if
calibration kits are loaded that overwrite them.
A Factory Default using the :SYStem:PRESet:ZERo command restores all connector values to those in the
tables below. After the restoration, a Factory Default also performs a Default Default. A Default Default
(System Default not set to USER) changes the connector type to the appropriate connector type based on the
model number.
The following general calibration component parameters should also be noted:
•A Default Default (System Default not set to USER) will change the Microstrip Kit to 10 Mil.
•A Default Default (System Default not set to USER) will change the Waveguide Kit to WR10.
Loads and Through Lines
The standard values for Loads and Through Lines are listed in the table below.

W1 Calibration Kit
A W1 Calibration Kit is slightly different because it has to cover such a wide frequency range.
It has a selection of components to use in a SOLT Calibration that covers the 70 kHz to 70 GHz range. A Male
and Female Open and a Male and Female Short with a set of coefficients characterize them over that range.
It has a selection of components to use in an SSST Calibration which covers the 70 kHz to 70 GHz range. Three
Male and Female Shorts with a set of coefficients characterize them over that range.
Physically, there are only 3 shorts: ShortX, ShortY, and ShortZ. ShortX has two different sets of coefficients
(the offset lengths are the same). The first set of coefficients are good over the 70 kHz to 70 GHz range and the
second set of coefficients (referred to as OffsetShort) are good over the 70 GHz to 110 GHz range.

2-44 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Setting Up a 4-Port Calibration
4-port calibrations are more complex and are hence divided into six broad categories:
•“Reflection Response Calibration”
•“Full 1-Port Calibration”
•“Transmission Response Calibration”
•“Full 2-Port Calibration”
•“Full 3-Port Calibration”
•“Full 4-Port Calibration”
Reflection Response Calibration
Under the reflection response calibration type, one can specify up to four individual 1-port response
calibrations to be performed using the following command:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT {1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34
| 123 | 124 | 134 | 234 | 1234}:RESP1
For instance, to perform a reflection response calibration on ports 2, 3, and 4, the command is:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:PORT234:RESP1
The following command is used to define the components used in the reflection calibration:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{1-4}:REFLection:COMPonent
Available reflection components are: NONE | OPEN | SHORt | OFSH1 | OFSH2 | OFSH3
Full 1-Port Calibration
With a full 1-port calibration type, one can specify up to four individual 1-port calibrations to be performed
using the following command:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT {1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34
| 123 | 124 | 134 | 234 | 1234}:FULL1
For instance, to perform a full 1-port calibration on ports 2, 3, and 4, the command is:

Transmission Response Calibration
Under the transmission response calibration type, one can specify up to six, 2-port combinations:
12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34
using three response methods that are stored in a list:
TFRF: transmission frequency response, forward
TFRR: transmission frequency response, reverse
TFRB: transmission frequency response, both.
First, clear the list using:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:TFR:CLEar
Next, use a combination of the following three commands:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:TFRB
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:TFRF
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:TFRR
For instance, to specify a forward response calibration on port12, a reverse response calibration on port13, and
both forward and reverse calibrations on port14, the commands are:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:TFR:CLE
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:PORT12:TFRF
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:PORT13:TFRR
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:PORT14:TFRB
Full 2-Port Calibration
With a full 2-port calibration type, one can specify two, 2-port calibrations to be performed with six, 2-port
combinations:
12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34
The port pairs selected must be port exclusive. For instance, if the first calibration is on port23, then the
second, if specified, must be on port14. There are 3 calibration types that can be specified:
FULL2 | 1P2PF | 1P2PR
This is accomplished using one of the commands below for the first calibration:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect[:CALa]:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:1P2PF
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect[:CALa]:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:1P2PR
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect[:CALa]:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:FULL2
And one of the following commands below for the second calibration:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:CALB:1P2PF
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:CALB:1P2PR
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:CALB:FULL2
For instance, the commands below specify a full, 2-port calibration on port12 and use a one path, 2-port
forward calibration as the second calibration:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:PORT12:FULL2
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:CALB:1P2PF
Full 3-Port Calibration
With a full 3-port calibration type, one can specify a 3-port calibration to be performed on the indicated ports
with the following command:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{123 | 124 | 134 | 234}:FULL3

In addition to selecting the ports above, two or three thru lines must be measured using the commands below:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:THRu:CLEar
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:THRu:ADD
The arguments of the above command are:
THRu12 | THRu13 | THRu14 | THRu23 | THRu24 | THRu34
For example, to perform a full, 3-port calibration on ports 1, 3, and 4 with thru lines on port pairs 13, 14, and
34, send the following commands:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:PORT134:FULL3
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:THR:CLE
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:THR:ADD THR13
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:THR:ADD THR14
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:THR:ADD THR34
Full 4-Port Calibration
With a full 4-port calibration type, one can specify a 4-port calibration to be performed on all four ports with
the following command:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:FULL4
In addition, three to six thru lines must be measured using the commands below:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:THRu:CLEar
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:THRu:ADD
Available throughs are:
THRu12 | THRu13 | THRu14 | THRu23 | THRu24 | THRu34
For example, to perform a full, 4-port calibration with thru lines on port pairs 12, 13, 14, and 24, send the
following commands:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:FULL4
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:THR:CLE
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:THR:ADD THR12

OPEN
An OPEN standard has the following parameters that define its electrical behavior:
•C0, C1, C2 and C3 are power series coefficients used to calculate capacitance as follows:
C = C0 + C1*f + C2*f^2 + C3*f^3
These coefficients are often displayed in scientific notation as shown below:
C0 = number x 10E-15
C1 = number x 10E-27
C2 = number x 10E-36
C3 = number x 10E-45
If one enters a number for Cx whose magnitude is > 10E-5, then it is assumed that the number must be
multiplied by the appropriate power of 10 shown above to determine the coefficient. Otherwise, the coefficient
value is taken as is.
•OFFSET is the offset length of the load expressed in meters
The following commands are used to change the OPEN standard parameters:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{1-4}:OPEN:C0
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{1-4}:OPEN:C1

:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{1-4}:OPEN:OFFS
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:PORT{1-4}:OPEN:SERIAL
SHORT
A SHORT standard has the following parameters that define its electrical behavior:
L0, L1, L2 and L3 are power series coefficients used to calculate inductance as follows:
L = L0 + L1*f + L2*f^2 + L3*f^3
These coefficients are often displayed in scientific notation as shown below:
L0 = number x 10E-12
L1 = number x 10E-24
L2 = number x 10E-33
L3 = number x 10E-42
If one enters a number for Lx whose magnitude is > 10E-5, then it is assumed that the number must be
multiplied by the appropriate power of 10 shown above to determine the coefficient. Otherwise, the coefficient
value is taken as is.
•OFFSET is the offset length of the load expressed in meters
There are actually four SHORTS that one may encounter; however, one may be working with more than one at
a time so numerics are used to differentiate them as follows:
SHORT
SHORT1
SHORT2
SHORT3
Note The parameters of the predefined types cannot be changed. Only the parameters of the User
Defined types can be changed.

LOAD
A LOAD standard has the following parameters that define its electrical behavior:
•C0 is a capacitance term
•LO, L1, L2, L3 are power series coefficients used to calculate inductance as follows:
L = L0 + L1*f + L2*f^2 + L3*f^3
•R is the resistance of the load
•Z0 is the characteristic impedance
•OFFSET is the offset length of the load expressed in meters
Most calibration kits have two loads; therefore, they are differentiated by naming them LOAD1 and LOAD2.
Use the following commands to modify the LOAD parameters:

THRU (or THROUGH)
A THRU (technically a “through”) standard has the following parameters that define its electrical behavior:
•LENGTH is the length of the line
•LOSS is the loss of the line
•FREQUENCY is the frequency at which the loss was measured
•Z0 is the Characteristic impedance
•USERECIPROCAL is not actually an electrical parameter. It is merely a flag to notify the calibrator that
it should use a reciprocal type of calculation.

AutoCal
The AutoCal calibration method (calibration using a compatible Precision Automatic Calibrator module) must
first be specified using the command below:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect AUTO
Then the calibration type is selected using the commands described above in “Setting Up a 2-Port Calibration”
on page 2-43 or “Setting Up a 4-Port Calibration” on page 2-44.
Without a 4-port test set, the calibration types supported are FULL1 and FULL2. With a 4-port test set, the
calibration types supported are FULL1, FULL2, and FULL4.
With the exception of the FULL4 calibration, use the commands described above to set the desired calibration
type. For a FULL4 calibration, use the calibration type command:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:ECAL:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:FULL4
The FULL4 calibration is achieved by performing two FULL2 calibrations on independent port pairs. One to
four thru lines must also be measured using the commands listed above in “Full 3-Port Calibration”
on page 2-45.
The following command sets the autocal box orientation manually:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:ECAL:ORIentation
This command inputs a list of up to four comma-separated items:
L1 | L2 | L3 | L4 | R1 | R2 | R3 | R4 | L1R2 | L1R3 | L1R4 | L2R3 | L2R4 | L3R4 |
R1L2 | R1L3 | R1L4 | R2L3 | R2L4 | R3L4 | R2L1 | R3L1 | R4L1 | R3L2 | R4L2 | R4L3
| L2R1 | L3R1 | L4R1 | L3R2 | L4R2 | L4R3
The following command specifies substituting a true thru line instead of using the thru provided in the autocal
box.
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:ECAL:TRUEthru
The command’s input argument list consists of comma separated data with alternating port selections and
on/off flags. For instance, if AutoCals are being performed on Ports 1 and 3 and Ports 2 and 4 with true thrus
on the Ports 2 and 4 calibration, then the command is:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:ECAL:TRUE PORT13,OFF,PORT24,ON
Automatic detection of the Autocal module orientation is available with the following command only with
2-port configurations, but is not offered when a 4-port test set is connected:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:ECAL:AUTOmatic:ORIentation[:STATe]
Once the AutoCal setup is complete, the following command starts the calibration:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:ECAL:BEGin?
The AutoCal calibration may require interaction with a user to perform some mechanical setup steps such as
reversing the autocal box, connecting the autocal box to different port(s), or connecting external thru lines. As
each step is completed, send the following command to instruct the VNA to continue with the measurements:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:ECAL:CONTinue?
Note Multiple calibrations are not supported with AutoCal.

LRL Calibration
The LRL calibration method must first be specified using the command below:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect LRL
FULL3 LRL Calibration
The FULL3 LRL calibration is accomplished by performing two, FULL2 calibrations having a common port.
The following command sets the calibration type to a full 3-port LRL calibration for the indicated channel:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:LRL:PORT{13 | 14 | 23 | 24}:FULL3
The port selection for the CALA calibration is limited to the ports shown below. The command’s argument
must complement that of the port selection for the CALB calibration. The port selections available for the
CALB calibration are limited based on the port selection made in the CALA calibration as follows:
FULL4 LRL Calibration
The FULL4 LRL calibration is accomplished by performing two, FULL2 calibrations on independent port
pairs. The following command sets the calibration type to a full 4-port LRL calibration for the indicated
channel:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:LRL:PORT{12 | 13 | 14 | 23 | 24 | 34}:FULL4
In addition, one to four thru lines must be measured using the commands listed below:
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:THRu:CLEar
:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:THRu:ADD
Available throughs are:
THRu12 | THRu13 | THRu14 | THRu23 | THRu24 | THRu34
CALA Port Selection CALB Port Choices
PORT13 or PORT24 <--------> PORT14 or PORT23
PORT14 or PORT23 <--------> PORT13 or PORT24
Caution If the rules above for the CALB calibration port pair is violated, the FULL3 command will fail.

VNA General Setup and Configuration
Throughout the script examples, long form commands are used for clarity. The command explanation follows
the command. In this section, the VNA is cleared and per-instrument settings established. Optional commands
or queries are noted and are presented for clarity.
:SYSTem:ERRor:CLEar
Clears the system error queue.
:SYSTem:POINt:MAXimum 25000
Set number of measurement points to 25,000 points. The instrument will reboot if the instrument
was in 100,000 point mode. If already in 25,000 point mode, no instrument change and no reboot.
:DISPlay:COLor:RESet
Resets all colors to normal factory default value. This returns the channel, channel background,
trace, limit line, and graticule colors to their default values.
:DISPlay:COUNt 1
Sets one (1) channel.
•When in 25,000 point mode, this can be set to 1 (one), 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, or 16 channels.
•If the channel display is set to a non-listed number (5, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15), the instrument is set
to the next higher channel number.
:CALCulate1:PARameter:COUNt 1
The command sets the number of traces as 1 on Channel 1.
:DISPlay:SPLit R1C1
Sets the channel display layout in a Row-by-Column format where channel window display is set
to one channel on one row and one column. This is the same as maxmizing a multi-channel
display.
:DISPlay:WINDow1:ACTivate 1
The command sets the active channel to the indicated channel number.
:DISPlay:SIZe MAXimum
Sets the maximum size of the graphic display. Not really needed here for a one channel display,
but shown for a multi-channel and/or multi-trace display.
:CALCulate1:PARameter1:DEFine S12
The command sets the measurement parameter as S12 for Trace 1.
:CALCulate1:PARameter1:FORMat MLOGarithmic
The command selects the display format as Log Magnitude (MLOGarithmic) for Trace 1 on
Channel 1.

Frequency and Sweep Settings
In this section, the required frequency and sweep settings are established.
:SENSe1:FREQuency:STARt 1.0E9
Sets start frequency to 1 GHz.
:SENSe1:FREQuency:STOP 20.0E9
Sets the stop frequency to 20 GHz.
:SENSe1:FREQuency:SPAN?
Optional query. Span is automatically calculated as Stop Frequency minus Start Frequency. The
query returns the resulting span in Hertz.
19.0E9
Frequency span is 19 GHz.
:SENSe1:FREQuency:CENTer?
Optional query. Center frequency is automatically calculated using Stop Frequency and Start
Frequency as:
Fc = ((Fstop - Fstart)/2) + Fstart
10.5E9
Center frequency is 10.5 GHz
:SENSe1:SWEep:TYPe LINear
The command sets the sweep for Channel 1 as Frequency-Based Linear.
:SENSe1:SWEep:POINt 401
Sets the number of measurement points for Channel 1 to 401 points.
•The minimum number of points is 2.
•The maximum number of points is limited to the total point instrument mode as 25,000 or
100,000.
Limit Lines Setup
There are several ways to programmatically add limit lines to a trace display. The technique below uses the
:CALCulate{1-16}:SELected:LIMit command subsystem in the following general procedure:
1. Create an empty limit line segment by using the :ADD command to create a blank limit.
•Note that each :ADD command must be followed by the :TYPE and :X1, :X2, :Y1, and :Y2
commands.
•The first :ADD command creates a limit line that uses the entire frequency range of the
instrument.
•If the :TYPE and :X1, :X2, :Y1, and :Y2 values are not changed, no further limit line segments can
be added.
2. Use the :TYPE command to define the segment as a lower or upper limit.
3. Use the :X1 and :X2 commands to configure the horizontal X-Axis start and stop points for each limit
segment. In this example, the start and stop values are frequency in GHz.
4. Use the :Y1 and :Y2 commands to configure the vertical Y-Axis start and stop points for each limit
segment. In this example, the start and stop values are in dB.
5. The :TYPE and :X1, :X2, :Y1, and :Y2 commands can be issued in any sequence for the segment being
defined.

*OPC
Description: Operation Complete Command. When the *OPC command is encountered, it does
nothing. Program flow is allowed to proceed to the next command in the input buffer. No
query. Note that *OPC and *OPC? are not a command/query pair although they appear
to be.
When the *OPC command is encountered, it immediately sets the Operational Complete
bit in the Standard Events Status Register. The *OPC command is a control command for
overlapped commands in systems that support command overlapping. The VectorStar
does not support overlapped commands, and as a result, no pause function is provided.
Overlapped Command Background
Some non-VectorStar GPIB implementations allow commands to execute simultaneously
which is called an Overlapped Command. For example, a calibration step which takes
many minutes could be set into operation and then allow other GPIB communication and
control commands to proceed while the calibration step continues to take place.
At some point in these non-VectorStar GPIB implementations, the separate Overlapped
Operational Streams need to be brought back together and placed under programmatic
control in a process called Regaining Synchronization between the controller PC and the
instrument. The commands *OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI are designed to regain
synchronization control and three different synchronization methods.
IEEE 488.2 Overlapped Command Definitions
The *OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI commands provide coverage for command completion
before the next command is parsed and executed and comprise a class of commands
termed Overlapped Commands. For instruments that support overlapped commands,
each command works differently. Per the IEEE 488.2 specification:
•“IEEE 488.2 defines a distinction between overlapped and sequential commands.
•As defined in IEEE 488.2, a sequential command is one which finishes executing
before the next command starts executing. An overlapped command is one which
does not finish executing before the next command starts executing.
•These types of commands are described in IEEE 488.2, section 12. Examples are
given in IEEE 488.2, Appendix B.
•IEEE 488.2 defines three common commands (*OPC, *OPC?, *WAI) which a device
controller can use to synchronize its operation to the execution of overlapped
commands.
•Each overlapped command has associated with it a Pending Operation flag.
•The device sets this flag TRUE when it passes the corresponding command from
the Execution Control block to the Device Action block.
•The device sets the flag false when the device operation is finished, or has been
aborted.”
*OPC Synchronization
The *OPC Operation Complete command is defined in IEEE 488.2-1992, Section 10.18.
*OPC works only if one or more preceeding commands are overlapped command. In
systems that support overlapped commands, when this command is encountered, it waits
until all overlapped commands have completed. Once all prior overlapped commands are
complete, it instructs the parser to execute the next following command. A typical use
would be to issue a *OPC before issuing a command for a long duration measurement
sweep. *OPC causes the instrument to continuously sense the No Operation Pending
flag. When the No Operation Pending (NOP) flag becomes TRUE, the OPC event bit in
the Standard Event Status Register is set to “1” to indicate that the state of all pending
operations have been completed. If this bit had been previously programmed to send a
Service Request, then the controller would be aware that all is synchronized.

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 3-5
•For example, OV1 through OV3 are overlapped commands where the command
series is OV1, OV2, OV3, *OPC, XXX.
•Commands OV1, OV2, OV3 start running. The NOP is set to FALSE.
•Parser execution stops at *OPC and the parser waits while the NOP is FALSE.
•Commands OV1, OV2, and OV3 continue to run in overlapped mode.
•Commands OV1, OV2, and OV3 are finally complete.
•The NOP flag is set to TRUE and *OPC sets the status bit to 1.
•Parser execution resumes.
•Command XXX starts running.
*OPC? Synchronization
In systems that support overlapped commands, the *OPC? Operation Complete Query
command waits until all overlapped commands have been completed. When that
synchronizing moment arrives, the ASCII character “1” is placed in the output buffer.
This sets the MAV bit in the Status byte to TRUE which indicates there is data in the
output buffer. If the controller had been attempting to read data, the moment the “1”
appears in the output buffer, it is read by the controller making it aware that all is
synchronized. When that synchronizing moment arrives, the next command in the input
buffer is executed and the command execution is synchronized.
•For example, OV1 through OV3 are overlapped commands where the command
series is OV1, OV2, OV3, *OPC?, XXX.
•Commands OV1, OV2, OV3 start running. The NOP is set to FALSE.
•Parser execution stops at *OPC? and the parser waits while the NOP is FALSE.
•Commands OV1, OV2, and OV3 continue to run in overlapped mode.
•Commands OV1, OV2, and OV3 are finally complete.
•The NOP flag is set to TRUE and *OPC? puts a one (“1”) in the output buffer.
•Parser execution resumes.
•Command XXX starts running.
*WAI Synchronization
In systems that support overlapped commands, the *WAI Wait-to-Continue Command
causes the parser to wait until all overlapped commands have been completed. When that
synchronizing moment arrives, the next command in the input buffer is executed and
command execution is synchronized.
•For example, OV1 through OV3 are overlapped commands where the command
series is OV1, OV2, OV3, *WAI, XXX.
•Commands OV1, OV2, OV3 start running. The NOP is set to FALSE.
•Parser execution stops at *WAI and the parser waits while the NOP is FALSE.
•Commands OV1, OV2, and OV3 continue to run in overlapped mode.
•Commands OV1, OV2, and OV3 are finally complete.
•The NOP flag is set to TRUE.
•Parser execution resumes.
•Command XXX starts running.
VectorStar and Overlapped Commands
In VectorStar VNAs, and in Anritsu’s earlier 360 and Lightning VNAs, there are no
Overlapped Commands. Everything works synchronously and no command is executed
until the command which preceded it has finished. Because of this, the commands *OPC,
*OPC? and *WAI work slightly differently than the IEEE 488.2 specification.

Description: Trigger Command. Triggers the instrument if :TRIGger:SOURce command data
parameter is set to REMOTE. Performs the same function as the Group Execute Trigger
(<GET>) bus command as defined in IEEE 488.2. *TRG or the <GET> can trigger a
measurement. No query.
The *TRG and <GET> commands are handled differently by the parser. The *TRG
command:
•The *TRG command can be mixed with other GPIB commands in a command
string which goes through the parser.
•The *TRG command can only trigger a single measurement event on only one
device in the GPIB network.
The <GET> command:
•The <GET> gets turned into the command *TRG and goes through the parser by
itself.
•A <GET> can trigger single measurement events on any or all instruments in the
GPIB network.
What is measured depends on the setting of the *DDT and
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:EXTernal:TYPe commands.
•If a *DDT command has been issued previously, the *TRG or <GET> will execute
what is defined in the *DDT instead.
•If a *DDT has not been issued, the *TRG triggers a measurement based on the
:TRIG:EXT:TYP command which can be measurement of a point, a single sweep, a
single channel, or all channels.
•If a sweep is selected, on 2-port VNAs, it can be either a either a forward or reverse
sweep. On 4-port VNAs, the sweep can be between any two ports.

5-1 Introduction
This chapter contains all of the SCPI commands (required and native) that are implemented in the instrument.
The SCPI commands are grouped by their respective subsystems. For each subsystem, the commands
described in detail in the listing. The notation corresponds to one of the SCPI standards to a large extent.
5-2 Minimum/Maximum Frequency Limits and Related Parameters
The minimum and maximum instrument frequencies depend on the instrument model, the installed options,
and whether the VNA is a standalone unit or part of a system. See Chapter 1, “General Information”,
“Minimum/Maximum Instrument Frequency and Related Parameters” on page 1-22 for additional
information. The following tables for standalone VNA frequency limits are available:
•Table 1-4, “Standalone VNAs – Default Start, Default CW, and Default Stop Frequencies” on page 1-23
•Table 1-5, “Standalone VNAs – Minimum Start, Minimum CW, and Maximum Start Frequencies”
on page 1-24
•Table 1-6, “Standalone VNAs – Minimum Stop, Maximum Stop, and Maximum CW Frequencies”

5-3 Command Level Hierarchy SCPI Commands
5-2 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
5-3 Command Level Hierarchy
The different levels of the SCPI command hierarchy are represented in a table by means of indentations to the
right. Lower command levels are indented farther to the right. Observe that the complete notation of the
command always includes the higher levels as well.
For example, :SENSe{1-16}:FREQuency:CENTer has three command levels and is represented in the table
as follows:
:SENSe{1-16} (first level)
:FREQuency (second level)
:CENTer (third level)
The maximum number of command levels is eight. For example, the command:

5-5 :CALCulate{1-16}:AFCW Subsystem
The :CALCulate{1-16}:AFCW (Advanced Fast CW) subsystem provides remote commands to control Advanced
Fast CW measurements.
AFCW requires installation of Option 35 and Option 46. AFCW uses the high speed digitizer option to reach
maximum acquisition rates of 100 million measurements/sec (adjustable to as slow as < million samples/sec).
This mode is always buffered and is accessible from both the user interface and remotely using the commands
listed below.
Raw data exporting is available as is pre-processing over variable measurement widths and time ranges.
The maximum buffer size is 50 million measurements in each of four receiver channels (200 million
measurements total) without the memory addition of Option 36 and 200 million measurements per receiver

Description: Set the current network other dielectric even value on the indicated channel. The query
outputs the current network dielectric even value on the indicated channel.
For the purposes of entering line information, the MS4640B VNAs use an even/odd mode
formalism as is consistent with many circuit simulators. The central concept is that a
coupled line pair can be driven in phase (the even mode) or 180 degrees out of phase (the
odd mode) or any combination of those modes. The term “common-mode” is also used for
even mode. The term “differential-mode” is also used for odd mode. In the case of very
weak coupling where Cx is close to 0, these modes see the same impedances, same losses,
and same phase velocities so there is no need to use this mode separation. As the coupling
increases, at the very least, the impedances seen by these two modes diverge requiring
two impedance entries where the effective capacitances seen by the conductors in the two
modes are clearly different. That is the end of changes for symmetric TEM systems,
where this approach will work for common coax, stripline and some microstrip cases.

formalism as is consistent with many circuit simulators. The central concept is that a
coupled line pair can be driven in phase (the even mode) or 180 degrees out of phase (the
odd mode) or any combination of those modes. The term “common-mode” is also used for
even mode. The term “differential-mode” is also used for odd mode. In the case of very
weak coupling where Cx is close to 0, these modes see the same impedances, same losses,
and same phase velocities so there is no need to use this mode separation. As the coupling
increases, at the very least, the impedances seen by these two modes diverge requiring
two impedance entries where the effective capacitances seen by the conductors in the two
modes are clearly different. That is the end of changes for symmetric TEM systems,
where this approach will work for common coax, stripline and some microstrip cases.

:CALCulate{1-16}:FSIMulator:NETWork{1-50}:DIELectric:ODD?
Description: Modify the indicated network other dielectric odd value on the indicated channel. The
query outputs the indicated network dielectric odd value on the indicated channel.
For the purposes of entering line information, the MS4640B VNA uses an even/odd mode
formalism as is consistent with many circuit simulators. The central concept is that a
coupled line pair can be driven in phase (the even mode) or 180 degrees out of phase (the
odd mode) or any combination of those modes. The term “common-mode” is also used for
even mode. The term “differential-mode” is also used for odd mode. In the case of very
weak coupling where Cx is close to 0, these modes see the same impedances, same losses,
and same phase velocities so there is no need to use this mode separation. As the coupling
increases, at the very least, the impedances seen by these two modes diverge requiring
two impedance entries where the effective capacitances seen by the conductors in the two
modes are clearly different. That is the end of changes for symmetric TEM systems,
where this approach will work for common coax, stripline and some microstrip cases.

•No additional command parameters are required.
•The use of Port 3 or Port 4 require a 4-port instrument.
•For example, :CALC1:PAR1:DEF S11 sets the input-reflection coefficient
measurement.
•The command syntax for S-Parameters:
:CALCulate{1-16}:PARameter{1-16}:DEFine <char1>
Command Parameters Requirements when EXT1 or EXT2 is Selected
If an external analog input of EXT1 or EXT2 is selected for <char1>:
•An additional parameter of <char2> is required to define the power source port as
PORT1, PORT2, PORT3, PORT4, L1, or L2.
•L1 is the same as Port 1 and L2 is the same as Port 2; both use Lightning 37xxxx
syntax.
•The use of Port 3 or Port 4 require a 4-port instrument.
•The command syntax for external analog input:
:CALCulate{1-16}:PARameter{1-16}:DEFine <char1>,<char2>
Command Parameter Requirements when USR is Selected
If the user-defined S-Parameter of USR is selected for <char1>:
•Three additional command parameters are required as <char2>, <char3>, and
<char4>.
•The use of Port 3 or Port 4 require a 4-port instrument.
•The second additional parameter <char2> represents the numerator. The
numerator values are selected from values of A1, A2, A, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, or 1
(one).
•The third additional parameter <char3> represents the denominator and is also
selected from values of A1, A2, A, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, or 1.
•The fourth additional parameter <char4> defines the power source port and is
selected from PORT1, PORT2, PORT3, PORT4, L1, or L2.
•For example, the command :CALC1:PAR1:DEF USR,A1,B1,PORT1 sets a
user-defined S-Parameter value of A1/B1 for Port1.
•The USR parameter is provided for users who want to deviate from standard
S-Parameter measurements. A typical application of the USR parameter would be
to remove external effects from antenna analysis where a test antenna is compared
to a reference antenna by using a ratio such as B2/A2.
•The command syntax for user-defined S-Parameters:

Description: Sets the gate shape of the time domain transform on the active trace of the indicated
channel. The various gate shapes provide different point weighting with resultant
changes in the display and its resolution. The available gate shapes are:
•DCHebyshev = Sets a Dolph-Chebyshev window with a trade-off between the side
lobe level and resolution. In the DCH, the side lobe level is parameterized in
absolute dB where a larger value leads to a wider main lobe width with lower
resolution.
•KBEssel = Sets a Kaiser-Bessel window with a trade-off between the side lobe level
and resolution. The KBE larger Beta value provides lower side lobes with a wider
main lobe width with lower resolution.
•MINimum = This is a rectangular (or null) gate. It will produce the best resolution
but the worst side lobe levels.
•NOMinal = The default value which provides about one-half of the resolution with
no window but approximately a 30 dB reduction in side lobe levels. This setting
advised for mode applications. The NOMinal setting is equivalent to a Hamming
gate.
•WIDE = The WIDE gate (Blackman 3 term) will reduce resolution relative to the
nominal gate but further reduce side lobe levels.
•MAXimum = The MAXimum gate (Blackman-Harris 4 term) has the poorest
resolution of the fixed gates but has the lowest side lobe levels.
Outputs the gate shape of the time domain transform on the active trace of the indicated
channel.
Cmd Parameters: <char> MINimum | NOMinal | WIDE | MAXimum | DCHebyshev | KBEssel

Voltage is the voltage for the last sweep point. The Start Voltage can be higher
than, equal to, or less than the Stop Voltage. The voltage range for each is -10 VDC
to +10 VDC. The Start Voltage is set by the :CONTrol{1-16}:AOUT:VOLTage:
STARt command while the Stop Voltage is set by the :CONTrol{1-16}:AOUT:
VOLTage:STOP command (both described below).
•DRIVen = Defines the rear panel port analog output voltage as a function of the
currently driven port. For example, if Port 1 is driving, the selected voltage is that
set for Port 1. If Port 2 is driving, the selected voltage is that set for Port 2. If DRIV
is set, the Output Level Voltage for Port 1 or Port 2 must be set. The command :
CONTrol{1-16}:AOUT{1-2}:DRIVen:LEV sets the driven port voltage level for the
indicated channel and port with a voltage range of -10 VDC to +10 VDC.
•TTL = Defines the TTL power for each port as steady state high or low, or as pulse
high or low. If pulse is selected, the duration of the pulse is also defined. The
command :CONTrol{1-16}:AOUT{1-2}:TTL:TYPe defines the TTL type used as
HIGH (+5 VDC), LOW (0 VDC), HIGH PULSE (+5 VDC), or LOW PULSE (0 VDC).
If High Pulse or Low Pulse is selected, the Pulse Width in seconds must be
specified using the command :CONTrol{1-16}:AOUT:PULSe:WIDth. Note that the
TTL type is defined separately for Port 1 and for Port 2.
•VERTical = Defines the rear panel output voltage to represent the vertical
magitude of a trace in a scaled fashion. If VERT is set for a rectangular display, the
Minimum and Maximum voltages must by set, where the Min Voltage corresponds
to the bottom graticule and the Max Voltage corresponds to the top graticule. If set
for a circular display, the Min Voltage corresponds to the center graticule and the
Max Voltage corresponds to the outer graticule. The Min Voltage can be higher
than, equal to, or less than the Max Voltage. The voltage range for each is -10 VDC
to +10 VDC. The Min Voltage is set by the :CONTrol{1-16}:AOUT:VOLTage:VMIN

If the trace is a single-trace non-Smith Chart display, this command can also set the
per-division scale value on single trace displays including rectangular and polar graph
trace formats.
Working with Smith Chart Trace Displays
If the trace type is a Smith Impedance Chart or a Smith Admittance Chart, the available
scale values are limited to the values of +3dB, 0dB, -10dB, -20dB, -30dB. These are the
only values permitted and other entered values result in an execution error.
Cmd Parameters: For Smith Charts: <NRf> 3 | 0 | -10 | -20 | -30
Where:
•3 = +3dB compressed Smith Chart
•0 = 0 dB standard Smith Chart
•-10 = -10 dB expanded Smith Chart
•-20 = -20 dB expanded Smith Chart
•-30 = -30 dB expanded Smith Chart
For all other displays: <NRf>
Query Parameters: <NR3> The output parameter units varies depending on the trace display type.
For Smith Charts, the output parameter is based on the outside radius of the outer circle.
For all other trace displays, the output is in one of the following:
•dB per division
•Hertz per division
•Meters per division
•Seconds per division.
Range: The range varies depending on display type:
•For Log Magnitude display types: 1E-3 to 1E3
•For all other non-Smith display types: 1E-5 to 1E9
•For all Smith Chart display types, discrete values only: 3 | 0 | -10 | -20 | -30.

Parameter Definitions for <string>
User-provided variations in the <string> parameter command suffix and existing O/S
conditions change the way the command will operate.
•Best practices recommend stating a file name and path in the form ’x:
\directory\filename.xxx’ where ‘x:\directory\‘ already exists.
•If the directory and file name in <string> already exist, the command will
overwrite them without comment.
•If the directory portion of the <string> is missing such as ‘x:\filename.xxx’, the
named file is placed in the current O/S defined default directory.
•If the command uses a <string> in the path and file name form such as ’x:
\directory\filename.xxx’ and ‘x:\directory\‘ does not exist, an error is generated
and no file is written.
•See definition of “<string>” on page 2-11.

:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:LRL:PORT{13 | 14 | 23 | 24}:FULL3
<char>
Description: This command requires a 4-port VNA instrument. Sets the calibration type to a Full
3-Port LRL for the indicated channel using either two 2-Port LRL Calibrations or one
LRL 2-Port Calibration with One Singleton. No query.
Full 3-Port LRL Method #1 - Use Two 2-Port Calibrations
The first method requires two LRL FULL2 port calibrations where the calibrations share
one common port. Port pairs 1-2 and 3-4 are not allowed. The two calibrations must share
a common port or the command results in an error. Valid port pair combinations are:
•Port Pair 1-2 not allowed
•Port Pair 1-3 with Port Pair 1-4
•Port Pair 1-3 with Port Pair 2-3
•Port Pair 1-4 with Port Pair 1-3
•Port Pair 1-4 with Port Pair 2-4
•Port Pair 2-3 with Port Pair 2-4
•Port Pair 2-3 with Port Pair 1-3
•Port Pair 2-4 with Port Pair 1-4
•Port Pair 2-4 with Port Pair 2-3
•Port Pair 3-4 not allowed
The first calibration is referred to as :CALa; the second calibration referred to as :CALB.
The CALa port pair is assigned with the :PORT{13 | 14 | 23 | 24} keyword parameter.
The CALB port pair is assigned with the command <char> parameter with arguments of:
•PORT1 | PORT2 | PORT3 | PORT4 | PORT13 | PORT14 | PORT23 | PORT24
For example, the command for an LRL FULL3 calibration with the first LRL FULL2
(CALa) on port pair PORT13 and the second LRL FULL2 (CALB) on port pair PORT23 is
shown below:
:SENS1:CORR:COLL:LRL:PORT13:FULL3 PORT23

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U 5-453
Full 3-Port LRL Method #2 - Use One 2-Port Cal and One Singleton
The second way to perform an LRL FULL3 calibration is to include one LRL FULL2
calibration, a singleton reflection calibration on a different port. The method concludes
with measuring a short or an open on the singleton port and one or two through lines on
the port pair. Note that Port Pairs 1-2 and 3-4 are not allowed and the Port Pair
assignments MUST NOT include the common singleton port. Valid port pairs, singleton,
and through line combinations are:
•Port Pair 1-2 not allowed
•Port Pair 1-3 and Singleton 2 (and a through line cal between Ports 1-2 or 2-3)
•Port Pair 1-3 and Singleton 4 (and a through line cal between Ports 1-4 or 3-4)
•Port Pair 1-4 and Singleton 2 (and a through line cal between Ports 1-2 or 2-4)
•Port Pair 1-4 and Singleton 3 (and a through line cal between Ports 1-3 or 3-4)
•Port Pair 2-3 and Singleton 1 (and a through line cal between Ports 1-2 or 1-3)
•Port Pair 2-3 and Singleton 4 (and a through line cal between Ports 2-4 or 3-4)
•Port Pair 2-4 and Singleton 1 (and a through line cal between Ports 1-2 or 1-4)
•Port Pair 2-4 and Singleton 3 (and a through line cal between Ports 2-3 or 3-4)
•Port Pair 3-4 not allowed
An example of an LRL FULL2 calibration on port pair PORT23 and a singleton on
PORT4 is shown below. The required through (thru) can be between port 2-4 or 3-4. The
through line is thus configured between port 3 and 4:

CAL | 3-Port Cal | THREE PORT CAL
From there, set the following:
•Cal Method = LRL/LRM
•Edit Cal Parameters | THREE PORT CAL SETUP | Cal Type = LRL/LRM+Singleton
Cmd Parameters: <char> PORT1 | PORT2 | PORT3 | PORT4 | PORT13 | PORT14 | PORT23 | PORT24

:SENSe{1-16}:CORRection:COLLect:LRL:PORT{13 | 14 | 23 | 24}:FULL4
Description: This command requires a 4-port VNA instrument. Sets the calibration type to Full Four
Port LRL for the indicated channel. In order to achieve a Full4 calibration using LRL
techniques, it is necessary to perform two Full2 LRL calibrations on independent port
pairs. The port number specified in this command is the port pair for the first LRL
calibration. The port pair of the second LRL calibration is made up of the other ports. No
query.

5-104 :SENSe{1-16}:IMD Subsystem
The :SENSe{1-16}:IMD Subsystem commands set configuration parameters for IMD and IMDView and controls
normalization calibration for the indicated channel.
IMD Configuration and Setup Validation Steps
The IMD setup commands in this subsystem require a sequence of steps to configure and validate the setup:
1. Before changing any settings in the IMD subsystem, the command :SENSe{1-16}:IMD:CONFigure:
DEFine[:STATe] must be set to ON.
2. After changing IMD subsystem settings, issue the :SENSe{1-16}:IMD:CONFigure command.
(Note: Define mode automatically turns off after issuing the :IMD:CONF command and the IMD mode is
turned on.)
3. Issue the command :SENSe{1-16}:IMD:CONFigure:STATus? to get an explanation of any coercion
that occurred.
Note
Once IMD has been configured and turned on, commands from the “:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:
DATA Subsystem” can be issued to read data.
Normalization calibration can be triggered using “:SENSe{1-16}:IMD:NCALibration:PERForm”.
Other related calibration subsystems include:
:SENSe{1-16}:RECeiver:CALibration commands (located in the “:SENSe{1-16}:RECEiver
Subsystem”)
:SOURce{1-16}:POWer:PORT{1-7}:CORRection commands (located in the “:SOURce{1-16}:POWer

:SENSe{1-16}:IMD:CONFigure
Description: Configures and validates the IMD setup parameters on the indicated channel.
(Note: The command is only available when IMD Define mode is enabled.)
If one or more errors occur during validation then a numeric error code will be added to
the system error queue. In order to determine all error codes associated with the number
returned by the command, use the following steps:
1 = PowerOutOfRange
2 = OutOfRange
4 = PointsExceedMax
8 = PointsLessThanMin
16 = BadState
32 = FreqOutOfRange
64 = Tone1SetupInvalid
128 = Tone2SetupInvalid
256 = SetupNotSupported
512 = ToneSetupNotValidForCondor
1024 = InvalidIFBW
2048 = NoResponsesSelected
4096 = InvalidDelta
8192 = InvalidTonesConfiguration
16384 = InvalidResponse
32768 = Invalid
Cmd Parameters: NA
Query Parameters: NA
Range: NA
Default Value: NA
Syntax Example: :SENS1:IMD:CONF
1. Find the largest number from the list below that is less than or equal to the
number returned by the command. The error definition associated with that
number has been triggered.
2. Subtract that number from the number returned by the command.
3. Repeat the process with the new number until you reach 0. All numbers found in
this process that correspond to any in the list are the errors associated with the
numeric error code.
For example, if the numeric error code returned is 18, you would find the next
lower or equal number from the list (16), then subtract it from 18; in this case,
18–16 = 2. Then from the list find the next lower or equal number (2) and
subtract it from the previous result; 2–2 = 0. So in this case, the errors associated
with the number returned would be 16 (BadState), and 2 (OutOfRange).

General Procedure
:SENSe{1-16}:OFFset Commands
Use the :SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet commands to create and setup multiple source bands. The relative sequence is:
•Configure Band 1
•When started, Band 1 exists with a starting frequency of the lowest instrument frequency, and a
top ending frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
•Change the Band 1 top frequency to something lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
•Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF, or
configure as required.
•Create and Configure Band 2
•Create a new band which automatically becomes Band 2 with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher
than the end frequency of Band 1 and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
•If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument
maximum frequency.
•Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or
configure as required.
•Create and Configure Band N
•Create a new band which automatically becomes the next higher Band with a starting frequency 1
Hz higher than the end frequency of the prior Band and an end frequency of the highest
instrument frequency.
•If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument
maximum frequency.
•If this is the last band, and a lower end frequency is required, configure the band end frequency.
•Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or
configure as required.
Note
As a general rule, it is best to first set the offset state to Define mode. To do this, issue the command:
:SENS1:OFFS DEF
Update all Multiple Source bands as needed, then issue the Done command:
:SENS1:OFFS:DON

top ending frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
•Change the Band 1 top frequency to something lower than the instrument maximum frequency.
•Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or
configure as required.
•Create and Configure Band 2
•Create a new band using :OFFSet{2} which becomes Band 2 with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher
than the end frequency of Band 1 and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
•If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument
maximum frequency.
•Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or
configure as required.
•Create and Configure Band N
•Create a new band using the :OFFSet{N} (where N is less than or equal to 50) which automatically
becomes the next higher Band with a starting frequency 1 Hz higher than the end frequency of the
prior Band and an end frequency of the highest instrument frequency.
•If another band is required, configure the end frequency at least 3 Hz lower than the instrument
maximum frequency.
•If this is the last band, and a lower end frequency is required, configure the band end frequency.
•Accept the band defaults of receiver source = ON, source state = ON, and delay state = OFF or
configure as required.

:SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet:BBModule:LEVeling:RFSubchoice:TYPe?
Description: The command sets the leveling sub-choices when source leveling is set to RF for
broadband module control type on the indicated channel
Definitions:
RF: RF leveling uses the level detector inside the BB module (best for stability but not for
control range).
VNA: VNA uses the leveling detector in the base VNA (better for control range but less so
for stability).
MIXED: Mixed uses VNA leveling for requested power levels < –15 dBm and RF leveling
otherwise.
The query outputs the leveling sub-choices when source leveling is set to RF broadband
module control type on the indicated channel
Cmd Parameters: <char> RF | MIXED | VNA
Query Parameters: NA
Query Output: <char> RF | MIXED | VNA

:SENSe{1-16}:OFFSet:BBModule:LEVeling:TYPe?
Description: The command sets the external BBModule leveling type for the current multiple source
band on the indicated channel where:
•IFLEVeling = For Modular BB, IF leveling provides the advantages of RF leveling
described below plus the benefit of greater power control range and a lower
minimum leveled power (at least 20 dB lower typically). As one approaches a
100 MHz difference between source and receiver frequencies, the power control
range will start to decrease as will power control accuracy. The use of IF leveling is
not recommended for source-receiver frequency differences greater than 100 MHz.
•RFLEVeling = For Modular BB, RF leveling provides a leveled RF output power
with improved source match, protection against over powering the DUT, and
insuring that the DUT is operating in its designated power range.
The query returns the BBModule leveling setting for the current multiple source band on
the indicated channel.
Cmd Parameters: <char> IFLEVeling | RFLEVeling

Description: The command sets the external MMModule leveling type for the indicated multiple
source band on the indicated channel. The query outputs the external MMModule
leveling type for the indicated multiple source band on the indicated channel.
•IFLEVeling = For Modular BB, IF leveling provides the advantages of RF leveling
described below plus the benefit of greater power control range and a lower
minimum leveled power (at least 20 dB lower typically). As one approaches a
100 MHz difference between source and receiver frequencies, the power control
range will start to decrease as will power control accuracy. The use of IF leveling is
not recommended for source-receiver frequency differences greater than 100 MHz.
•RFLEVeling = For Modular BB, RF leveling provides a leveled RF output power
with improved source match, protection against over powering the DUT, and
insuring that the DUT is operating in its designated power range.

:SENSe{1-16}:SWEep:DELay:TYPe?
Description: The command sets the sweep delay type of the indicated channel, as either Off, Load
Pulse, or Phase Locked. The sweep delay type definitions are:
•LOAD = Load Pulse which sets the sweep so that the sweep starts, and while
sweeping, the VNA digital signal processor sends a command to load the
programming for the next frequency. At this point, the user-defined delay time
period occurs. The sweep-load-delay cycle repeats for every point in the sweep.
•LOCK = Phase Locked which sets the sweep delay so that the sweep starts, the
hardware frequency phase locks at the point, and then user-defined delay time
period occurs. The sweep continues until the sweep is completed.
•OFF = The instrument sweeps normally without sweep delay.
The query outputs the sweep delay type of the indicated channel.
Cmd Parameters: <char> LOCK | LOAD | OFF
Query Parameters: <char> LOCK | LOAD | OFF

<NRf>
:SOURce{1-16}:TS3739:ALCCal:FREQuency:POWer:TABLe{1-10}:ENTRy?
Description: The command sets a 3739 Test Set ALC calibration frequency/power table entry for the
indicated channel. The query outputs a 3739 Test Set ALC calibration frequency/power
table entry for the indicated channel. This calibration is performed over the operating
frequency range of a Millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) Test Set. See the types available from
VDI or OML. The frequency values are constrained by the frequency range of the Test
Set.
Best practices recommend that users know the power lever range of their Test Set and
module as there will be no error thrown if the power level is set too high or too low. The
power specifications of the mm-Wave modules should be well known, and it would be
prudent if the user specified power levels in the range of the mm-Wave module he is
using. One should also notice that the menu for this specifies that the power entered
should be the maximum power for that module.
Note that when the VNA is in mm-Wave mode, pressing the front panel Preset (Reset)
button takes VNA operation back to its regular mode with no mm-Wave operation and
thus default values for this command do not exist.
Cmd Parameters: <NRf>, <NRf>
Where:
•<NRf> = Calibration frequency in Hertz.
•<NRf> = Power table entry in dBm.
Query Parameters: NA
Query Output: <NR3>, <NR3>
Where:
•<NR3 = Frequency in Hertz
•<NR3> = Power in dBm.

:SOURce{1-16}:TS3739:ALCCal:LEVeltype?
Description: The command selects the 3739 Test Set ALC calibration leveling type for the indicated
channel. The query outputs the 3739 Test Set ALC calibration leveling type for the
indicated channel. The leveling types available are:
•IFLEVeling = For Modular BB, IF leveling provides the advantages of RF leveling
described below plus the benefit of greater power control range and a lower
minimum leveled power (at least 20 dB lower typically). As one approaches a
100 MHz difference between source and receiver frequencies, the power control
range will start to decrease as will power control accuracy. The use of IF leveling is
not recommended for source-receiver frequency differences greater than 100 MHz.
•RFLEVeling = For Modular BB, RF leveling provides a leveled RF output power
with improved source match, protection against over powering the DUT, and
insuring that the DUT is operating in its designated power range.
•VNALEVeling = Selecting VNALEVeling turns the RF or IF ALC off and the ALC
accuracy is as it for the standalone VNA instrument.
Cmd Parameters: <char> IFLEVeling | RFLEVeling | VNALEVeling
Query Parameters: NA
Query Output: <char> IFLEV | RFLEV | VNALEV
Range: NA
Default Value: VNALEVeling

afterwards. The GPIB is the exact reverse. The user enters frequency, power pairs until
they are satisfied or the maximum number of pairs reaches the limit of 25.

:SYSTem:PRESet:TYPe?
Description: The command sets the preset type to RESET, RESET0 (reset zero), or USER. The query
outputs the selected preset type. The different preset types provide the following
functions:
•USER - If the USER type is selected, a previously saved user-defined preset file
must exist on the instrument disk drive. Once set, issuing a :SYSTem:PRESet
command returns the instrument to the user-defined configuration. The
user-defined preset file name is set using the :SYSTem:PRESet:FILe command.
•RESET - If the RESET type is selected, issuing a :SYSTem:PRESet command
returns the instrument to the factory as-shipped configuration.
•RESET0 - If the RESET0 type is selected, issuing the :SYSTem:PRESet command
clears the instrument memory of all calibration kit settings, calibrations,
configurations, channel configurations, trace configurations, and other similar
settings and returns the instrument to a factory as-shipped state. Functionally,
issuing a :SYSTem:PRESet:TYPe RESET0 command followed by a :SYSTem:
PRESet command is the same as issuing a :SYSTem:PRESet:ZERo command. Note
that the RESET0 parameter does not delete any files. See the :SYSTem:PRESet:
ZERo command description for a complete listing of included and excluded preset
elements.
The preset type can also be configured by from the front panel by:
•Navigating to MAIN | System | SYSTEM | Setup | SETUP | Preset Setup | PRESET
SETUP
•On the PRESET SETUP menu, selecting either Default, Default 0, or Saved Setup.
•If Saved Setup is to be used, the user-defined configuration file must be saved to
the instrument solid-state drive. Then select the Select Saved Setup File button
and select the desired user-defined preset file. Then select Saved Setup.
A preset can also be executed from the front panel by doing one of the following actions:
•Pressing the front panel Preset key.
•Selecting the ICON TOOLBAR | Preset icon.
•Selecting the MENU BAR | Utilities | Preset command.

:SYSTem:PRESet:ZERo
Description: The command performs a Reset Zero which does not delete any files, but clears the
instrument memory of all calibration kit settings, calibrations, configurations, channel
configurations, trace configurations, and other similar settings and returns the
instrument to a factory as-shipped state described in the command “:SYSTem:PRESet”
on page 5-719. No query.
Similar to *RST
Similar to the *RST command, :SYST:PRES:ZER resets the instrument to a pre-defined
condition with all user programmable command parameters set to their default values.
These default parameter values are listed under each SCPI command in this manual.
Included Preset Conditions with :SYST:PRES:ZER
Except for the Command Parameters explicitly excluded in the next section, the :SYST:
PRES:ZER command does the following:
•Sets the device-specific functions to a known state that is independent of the
past-use history of the device;
•Device specific commands may be provided to program a different reset state than
the original factory-supplied one;
•Clears any user-defined segmented limit lines;
•Sets the macro defined by *DDT to a device-defined state;
•Disables macros;
•Forces the device into the OCIS state (Operation Complete Command Idle State);
•Forces the device into the OQIS state (Operation Complete Query Idle State).

:SYSTem:RETRace:RF[:STATe] <char>
:SYSTem:RETRace:RF[:STATe]?
Description: The command toggles the retrace RF energy state on or off. The default normal RF
Retrace State is OFF.
RF Retrace OFF - Normal Operation
During normal operation, the VNA makes a sweep from the lowest to the highest point
and the starts over again at the lowest point. During the start over or retrace period or
when switching bands, the RF energy is blanked.
The best is to operate totally within an oscillator band so that the forward portion and
retrace can step through the same frequency list either forward or backward and there is
no loss of RF energy. With RF Retrace OFF, the VNA provides good leveling performance
and spur rejection.
RF Retrace ON - AGC Circuits
For faster sweep measurement response and/or increased protection in DUTs with AGC
(automatic gain control) circuits, this command sets the RF Retrace State to ON. With
this setting, the RF energy status remains on during the sweep, during band changes,
and during the sweep reset from highest point to lowest point.With RF Retrace ON, the
VNA does not offer less leveling performance and spur rejection.
The query outputs the on/off state of retrace RF.

Appendix A — Programming with LabVIEW
A-1 Introduction
This document provides an overview of programming techniques for controlling the VectorStar VNA using the
MS464xB LabVIEW driver over GPIB, TCP/IP (using VXI-11), and USB. This document assumes some
previous knowledge of LabVIEW.
A-2 Overview
Programming Basics
There are many cases where a user may want programmatic control of the VNA. Examples include automating
a test sequence, manufacturing testing, orchestrating a complex measurement involving various pieces of test
equipment, gathering a time series of data, or as a convenient way of getting data, files or images transferred
from the VNA to a pc for further analysis.
GPIB Mnemonics
VectorStar has a fairly large set of GPIB commands. This includes a set of Native commands, Lightning
commands and Agilent 8510 commands. You use the same commands regardless of the communication method
employed. See Example 4 for using the LIST command to output the full set of supported GPIB mnemonics
directly from the VNA. For LabVIEW programmers the best way to contol VectorStar is with the native
MS464X LabVIEW driver. But if you’re familiar with Lightning, VectorStar also supports Lightning
commands you can use the Lightning 37XXX LabVIEW driver to control VectorStar. This document uses a
combination of MS464X driver VIs and VISA Reads and Writes to send commands to the VNA and to get data
from the VNA. With this combination method, we use the driver to accomplish many procedures.
What is VISA?
VISA (Virtual Instrument System Architecture) is an I/O software standard for communicating with test
instruments like VectorStar over any of the bus architectures which VectorStar supports. A VISA driver is
available from both National Instruments and Agilent. National Instruments VISA drivers are available for
the following operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and others. It’s always a good idea to get the
latest driver (Version 5.1.1), but make sure to get the Full Version (not just the runtime) for the best support of
the latest .NET Framework, USB and TCP/IP. The driver is available from http://www.ni.com/visa/ or from NI
Device Driver CD that comes with NI hardware and is installed along with LabVIEW. The MS464X LabVIEW
drivers uses VISA to communicate.
VISA uses connection strings to set up communication with the VNA over various protocols. Here are some
connection string examples:
//VXI-11 Connection string
"TCPIP0::192.168.1.7::INSTR";
//GPIB Connection string
"GPIB0::6::INSTR";
//USB Connection string (vendor::product::serial_number)
"USB0::0x0B5B::0xFFD0::MS4647B-12345::INSTR";
A-3 Installing the MS464X LabVIEW Driver Programming with LabVIEW
A-2 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
The beauty of using VISA is that the only thing that needs to be changed for any of these possible
communication protocols is the connection string. The rest of the code should be exactly the same (except for
SOCKETS which are not covered in this document). For TCP/IP we recommend using VXI-11 since it better
implements the IEEE 488.2 standard and all status checking. The Getting Started section of the Programming
Examples shows how to set up for communication over VXI-11 (TCP/IP).
Programming Environments
Programming environments that are commonly used with test equipment include LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Basic 6, HP Basic, and so on.
For the examples below, we’ll use LabVIEW Version 8.6 with the VectorStar MS464X LabVIEW driver.
A-3 Installing the MS464X LabVIEW Driver
The VectorStar MS464X LabVIEW driver was developed and is supported by National Instruments. The driver
is available at the National Instrument’s Instrument Driver Network (http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/ ) or
you can download it directly from within LabVIEW as shown in the following figures.
Installing instrument drivers is easy to do from the LabVIEW help menu.

Windows GPIB (WGPIB) is a useful windows program that is available from the Anritsu web site. The latest
version is 3.75 and you’ll want to get that one or higher to get the latest communication functions. Before
writing any software, make sure you can write to and read from VectorStar over the communication protocol
you’re interested in.
Take a quick look at WGPIB Help to get an overview of the application.

A-5 Programming Examples
Getting Started
We’ll create a few simple programs to demonstrate the use of the MS464X LabVIEW driver for controlling
VectorStar.
We want to communicate to VectorStar using VXI-11 (TCP/IP) so we’ll need to note the IP Address of the VNA and
set up a resource (a connection string).

If the controlling PC and the VNA are on the same local sub-network (this is usually true if the first 3 numbers in the
IP address are the same (for example, 192.168.1.x in this case), then you can probably Auto-detect the VNA.

In this first example we’ll simply open a communication session to the VNA and then use two of the driver VIs
to get some information about the VNA.

A-7 Example 2 ─ Sending the *IDN? Command – Display Results
The previous example used only driver VIs to get some information from the VNA. The GPIB command,
“*IDN?” returns the Manufacturer, Model #, Serial Number and Firmware Version. We used this command
previously in Figure 8 using the WGPIB utility. In this example we directly issue the “*IDN?” command and
then parse the different parts of the response string.
Here we directly send a GPIB string using the VISA Write Function, then we read the response from the VNA using
the VISA Read Function. Then we use the Scan From String Function to grab the different comma-separated
values in the response string.

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U A-21
A-8 Example 3 ─ Error Checking
Most of the MS464X driver VIs use the Error Query.vi. This example shows that if an invalid GPIB string is
sent to the VNA then the Error Query VI catches the error and displays the error message from the VNA. Here
we send two valid strings: “*IDN?” and then “OID”. But the third string is not a valid GPIB command and the
instrument reports this to the Front Panel.
Here we mix VISA Writes and Reads with the MS464X driver’s Error Query VI.

The “ABC” command is invalid and was captured by the Error Query VI.

A-9 Example 4 ─ LIST Command – Send to a File
This example sends output to a file that the user may specify (a file dialog is opened).
Here we use VISA Write to send the LIST command to the VNA. We use “LANG NATIVE” because this will send a
newline after each command in the output. If we used “LANG LIGHT” then commands are separated by a comma
and the file is harder to read.

The Front Panel just shows us that nothing went wrong with either the GPIB code or with the File writing code.

A-10 Example 5 ─ Acquiring Trace Data
This example gets the Real/Imaginary data from the Active Trace and the data comes out in a 1 dimensional
interleaved array. We need to decimate the array to get the data into two separate arrays.
We first get Frequency Values, and next we get the S-Parameter data which is Real and Imaginary.
In this example we Initialize the VNA and get Real and Imaginary Data from the Active Channel. When there are
two sets of data, we need to “Decimate” the 1D array into two arrays since data 0, 2, 4, … is Real data and 1,3,5,…
is Imaginary data.

A-11 Example 6 – Smith Chart Data
This example is similar to the previous example except here we need to make sure that the active channel is
set to Smith Chart (or do an optional instrument reset which sets up smith charts on trace 1 and 4). Although
we don’t need the frequency data to display the smith chart, we use the Read Frequency Values VI to get the
frequency list and then grab the data count from the number of frequencies. This data count is passed to the
For Loop control.
By default Trace1 is set to output impedance values. Smith chart actually takes a normalized impedance
(normalized to 1) so we divide the impedance/reactance pairs by 50 (ohms) to get normalized smith chart data.
We again use Read Frequency Values, but here we get the Formatted Data for the active channel (which is a Smith
Chart).
Use the Frequency Array to get the number of points and feed that into the For Loop control. The Channel Data
from the Active Trace is Impedance/Reactance so we divide by Z0 (or 50 ohms, hardcoded here) to get the smith
chart data.

This is a good example that uses some VISA Writes and some MS464X driver VIs to accomplish some useful
things. Specifically, we are going to send some Native VectorStar commands along with some Lightning
commands to output an S2P file from the VNA to the PC.
Here we use a combination of VISA and driver commands. First Native GPIB strings are sent to setup the S2P
output to 25 data points, Frequency in Hz, and Data Format to Real/Imaginary. I used the Read ASCII ARB function
to strip off the header.

We can use a similar technique to get the bitmap data to a file. Here we use the Lightning commands
“BMPC;OBMP” to output a bitmap file. BMPC selects color on white as the color scheme – this makes for better
printouts. The “Read ARB.vi” again is used to strip off the arbitrary block header and place the bitmap data into a
file. If we didn’t strip off the header the bitmap file would be corrupt. Note that we write the file to a binary file.

Appendix B — Programming with
LabWindows/CVI
B-1 Introduction
This document provides an overview of programming techniques for controlling the VectorStar VNA using the
au464X LabWindows/CVI driver over GPIB, TCP/IP (using VXI-11), and USB. This document assumes some
previous knowledge of LabWindows/CVI. (Note that we often use the term CVI in this document to refer to
LabWindows/CVI.)
B-2 Overview
Programming Basics
There are many cases where a user may want programmatic control of the VNA. Examples include automating
a test sequence, manufacturing testing, orchestrating a complex measurement involving various pieces of test
equipment, gathering a time series of data, or as a convenient way of getting data, files or images transferred
from the VNA to a pc for further analysis.
GPIB Mnemonics
VectorStar has a fairly large set of GPIB commands. This includes a set of Native commands, Lightning
commands and Agilent 8510 commands. You use the same commands regardless of the communication method
employed. See Example 4 for using the LIST command to output the full set of supported GPIB mnemonics
directly from the VNA. Because VectorStar supports Lightning commands we can use the VectorStar au464x
LabWindows/CVI driver to control VectorStar but also send some Lightning commands if necessary. This
document uses a combination of au464x driver functions and VISA Reads and Writes to send commands to the
VNA and to get data from the VNA. With this combination method, we use the driver to accomplish many
simple activities while the VISA commands allow a full range of command including VectorStar Native
commands (see example 6). Thus the full set of VectorStar functionality is available to the LabWindows/CVI
programmer.
What is VISA?
VISA (Virtual Instrument System Architecture) is an I/O software standard for communicating with test
instruments like VectorStar over any of the bus architectures which VectorStar supports. A VISA driver is
available from both National Instruments and Agilent. National Instruments VISA drivers are available for
the following operating systems: Windows (all versions), Mac OS X, Linux, Mandriva, RedHat, SUSE,
PharLap, VxWorks, Pocket PC 2003, and Windows CE/Mobile. It’s always a good idea to get the latest driver
(Version 5.1.1). If you plan to also do lots of VISA programming, get the Full Version (not just the runtime)
version 5.0 or higher for the best support of the latest .NET 4.0 Framework, USB and TCP/IP. The driver is
available from http://www.ni.com/visa/ or from NI Device Driver CD that comes with NI hardware and is
installed along with LabWindows/CVI. Most LabWindows/CVI drivers use VISA to communicate.
B-2 Overview Programming with LabWindows/CVI
B-2 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
VISA uses connection strings to set up communication with the VNA over various protocols. Here are some
connection string examples:
//VXI-11 Connection string
"TCPIP0::192.168.1.7::INSTR";
//GPIB Connection string
"GPIB0::6::INSTR";
//USB Connection string (vendor::product::serial_number)
"USB0::0x0B5B::0xFFD0::MS4647B-12345::INSTR";
The beauty of using VISA is that the only thing that needs to be changed for any of these possible
communication protocols is the connection string. The rest of the code should be exactly the same (except for
SOCKETS which are not covered in this document). For TCP/IP we recommend using VXI-11 since it better
implements the IEEE 488.2 standard and all status checking. The Getting Started section of the Programming
Examples shows how to set up for communication over VXI-11 (TCP/IP).
Programming Environments
Programming environments that are commonly used with test equipment include LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Basic 6, HP Basic, and so on. NI-VISA supports the
following Windows development environments:
•LabVIEW
•LabWindows/CVI
•Measurement Studio for Visual Studio (all versions)
•Microsoft Visual Studio 2010/2008/2005/2003/6.0
•Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
For the examples below, we’ll use LabWindows/CVI Version 8.5 with the Anritsu VectorStar au464x
LabWindows/CVI driver. We’ll interchangeably use the terms LabWindows/CVI and CVI. These both refer to
the programming environment.

Getting Started
We’ll create a few simple programs to demonstrate the use of the au464x CVI driver for controlling VectorStar.
There are a few necessary steps to take before getting started with the programs.
We want to communicate to VectorStar using VXI-11 (TCP/IP) so we’ll need to note the IP Address of the VNA and
set up a resource (a connection string).
Figure B-9. Setup – Obtaining VNA IP Address
We’ll set up a resource in NI-MAX. The programs will reference this resource rather than a specific address.

If the controlling pc and the VNA are on the same local sub-network (this is usually true if the first 3 numbers in the
IP address are the same ─ for example, 192.168.1.x in this case), then you can probably Auto-detect the VNA.

Setting up the Driver to Load every time CVI starts
Since we’re planning to do a lot of VNA programs we’ll set up CVI to load the Anritsu driver automatically
every time CVI starts up.
Go to Library | Customize to have CVI load the driver into our user Library every time CVI starts. This is a preferable
way to have access to the driver.

This example shows that if an invalid GPIB string is sent to the VNA then the CHECKERR macro catches the
error and displays the error message from the VNA. Here we send two valid strings: “*IDN?” and then “OID”.
But the third string is not a valid GPIB command and the instrument reports this. The code snippet is below.

The Service Request Status Register. It is slightly changed from Lightning to VectorStar. If LANG LIGHT is set then
the Lightning configuration of the Status Register is used. In this example we used “LANG NATIVE” so the
VectorStar status register is used. The code checks b2 to see if the error queue is not empty and also b4 to see if a
message is available.
We catch the command error after sending the bogus “ABC” command and report the message (Faulty program
mnemonic syntax).

Next we modify Example 6 to use the built-in smith chart control. This program is adapted from the Smith
Chart Demo in samples\apps\smithchart. We use the smithchart fp found in toolslib\toolbox\smith.fp." We
set Trace 1 to Smith Chart and to output impedance values. Most Smith chart controls actually take a
normalized impedance (normalized to 1) so we divide the impedance/reactance pairs by 50 (ohms) to get
normalized smith chart data. The code snippet is below.
Here is the impedance/reactance data from Trace 1 (Smith Chart). Again we create 3 columns: frequency (Hz),
Impedance, Reactance.

We can use a similar technique to get the bitmap data to a file. Here we use the Lightning commands
“BMPC;OBMP” to output a bitmap file. BMPC selects color on white as the color scheme – this makes for
better printouts. The au464x_readArbitraryBlock() function again is used to strip off the arbitrary block
header and place the bitmap data into a file. If we didn’t strip off the header the bitmap file would be corrupt.

Appendix C — Programming with VISA/C#
C-1 Introduction
This document provides an overview of programming techniques for controlling the VectorStar VNA using the
NI-VISA driver and C# over GPIB, TCP/IP (using VXI-11), and USB. Programming using TCP/IP Sockets
requires some special handling and is not discussed in this document.
C-2 Overview
Programming Basics
There are many cases where a user may want programmatic control of the VNA. Examples include automating
a test sequence, orchestrating a complex measurement involving various pieces of test equipment, gathering a
time series of data, or as a convenient way of getting data or images transferred from the VNA to a PC for
further analysis.

What is VISA?
VISA (Virtual Instrument System Architecture) is an I/O software standard for communicating with test
instruments like VectorStar over any of the bus architectures which VectorStar supports. A VISA driver is
available from both National Instruments and Agilent. National Instruments VISA drivers are available for
the following operating systems: Windows (all versions), Mac OS X, Linux, Mandriva, RedHat, SUSE,
PharLap, VxWorks, Pocket PC 2003, and Windows CE/Mobile. It’s always a good idea to get the latest driver
(Version 5.1.1), but make sure to get the Full Version (not just the runtime) version 5.0 or higher for the best
support of the latest .NET 4.0 Framework, USB and TCP/IP. The driver is available from
http://www.ni.com/visa/ or from NI Device Driver CD that comes with NI hardware.
Installing NI-VISA 5.1.1 Driver.
Figure C-1. Install NI-VISA Driver
Programming with VISA/C# C-2 Overview
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U C-3
From the Full NI-VISA 5.1.1 installation, you can also select to install Developer Support for .NET Frameworks 2.0,
3.5 and 4.0. It does not automatically install Development Support for the .NET Frameworks so you have to select
these to install. Make sure to select “Examples” also. The VISA Version 5.1.1 driver supports the .NET Framework
2.0, 3.5 and 4.0.

Programming Environments
Programming environments that are commonly used with test equipment include LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual Studio (2005, 2008, 2010), Visual Basic 6, HP Basic, and so on. NI-VISA
supports the following Windows development environments:
•LabVIEW
•LabWindows/CVI
•Measurement Studio for Visual Studio
•Microsoft Visual Studio 2010/2008/2005/2003/6.0
•Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
For the examples below, we’ll use Visual C# 2010 Express Edition. You can download the latest Express
Edition for free from the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/express/download.
GPIB Mnemonics
VectorStar has a fairly large set of GPIB commands. This includes a set of Native commands, Lightning
commands and Agilent 8510 commands. You use the same commands regardless of the communication method
employed. See Example 3 for using the LIST command to output the full set of supported GPIB mnemonics
directly from the VNA.
Search for “VisaNS” in Visual Studio (Local) help to find more information about using the VISA driver.

MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U C-5
C-3 A Quick Start with the Windows GPIB Utility
Windows GPIB (WGPIB) is a useful windows program that is available from the Anritsu web site. The latest
version is 3.75 and you’ll want to get that one or higher to get the latest communication functions. Before
writing any software, make sure you can write to and read from VectorStar over the communication protocol
you’re interested in.
Take a quick look at WGPIB Help to get an overview of the application.

1. The program output shown below.
2. If it didn’t work then check that the sAddress string matches your setup. This is the error you’ll get if
the address is wrong as shown in the figure below.
The console output should look something like this if everything worked. The result is Manufacturer, Model, Serial
Number, and Firmware Version.

C-14 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
•The first thing to observe is the VISA connection string. Here are some possible strings:
//VXI-11 Connection string
string sAddress = "TCPIP0::10.0.1.194::INSTR";
//GPIB Connection string
string sAddress = "GPIB0::6::INSTR";
//USB Connection string (vendor::product::serial_number)
string sAddress = "USB0::0x0B5B::0xFFD0::MS4647B-12345::INSTR";
•The beauty of using VISA is that the only thing that needs to be changed for any of these possible
communication protocols is the connection string. The rest of the code should be exactly the same
(except for SOCKETS). For TCP/IP we recommend using VXI-11 since it better implements the
IEEE 488.2 standard and all status checking.
•But just in case, the connection string for a TCP/IP socket connection is:
//TCP/IP Sockets Connection string
string sAddress = "TCPIP0::10.0.1.194::5001::SOCKET";
3. Opening the communication session.
//open a Session to the VNA
mySession = ResourceManager.GetLocalManager().Open(sAddress);
//cast this to a message based session
mbSession = (MessageBasedSession)mySession;
4. Write to VNA and Read from VNA
//Send "*IDN?" command
mbSession.Write("*IDN?\n");
//Read the response
responseString = mbSession.ReadString();
•Notice that the mbSession.Write() commands are terminated with a “/n”. This is the newline
character. The next example discusses session parameters. Some of the other examples will get
into reading binary data and arbitrary block data.
5. Exception Handling
Programming with VISA/C# C-5 Example 1 ─ Open Session and *IDN?
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U C-15
•The VISA driver catches certain types of errors like timeouts and .NET catches the rest.
catch (VisaException v_exp)
{
Console.WriteLine("Visa caught an error!!");
Console.WriteLine(v_exp.Message);
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
Console.WriteLine("Something didn't work!!");
Console.WriteLine(exp.Message);
Console.WriteLine();
}
6. Close the session using Dispose()
//Close the Session
mbSession.Dispose();
VisaException catches a timeout on a ReadString()

Example 2 – Discussion
1. In this example we check the Status Byte prior to reading the response.
•The Status Byte is the Service Request Status Register and is discussed elsewhere.
•We set the LANG to NATIVE to use the VectorStar Status Register Configuration.
•In general we expect to get a Message Available (MAV) response when data is available to read.
•Otherwise we expect something to be in the Error Queue (ERRQ).
•Notice when the code send an unknown command “ABC” and the testStatus() function catches it
and outputs the message in the Error Queue.
The Service Request Status Register. It is slightly changed from Lightning to VectorStar. If LANG LIGHT is set then
the Lightning configuration of the Status Register is used.

Example 4 – Discussion
1. Output result values are the same for Native mode and Lightning mode (since we put the unit in HOLD)
but the delimiters are different.
•Native mode uses a comma to separate the two values at each frequency and a newline (\n) to
separate pairs of values while Lightning mode separates each value with a comma. The display
was set for Smith Chart, impedance.
2. The OFD command returns an arbitrary block containing either ASCII or Binary data depending on the
currently selected format.
•In this example we select ASCII using the FMA command.
•The Arbitrary block header is stripped off with the stripHeader(string responseString)
function.
•The next example shows how to get binary data.

Appendix D — Programming Basics with
Legacy Software
D-1 Introduction
This appendix provides an overview of programming techniques for controlling the VectorStar Series VNAs
with older legacy software. Best practices recommend using the techniques and software described in
Appendix A, B, and C for new development. This appendix describes using the NI-VISA driver and C# over
GPIB, TCP/IP (using VXI-11), and USB. Programming using TCP/IP Sockets requires some special handling
and is not discussed in this document.
D-2 Programming Basics
Programmatic control of the VNA allow automating a test sequence, orchestrating a complex measurement
involving various pieces of test equipment, gathering a time series of data, or a convenient way of getting data
or images transferred from the VNA to a PC for further analysis.
VISA
VISA (Virtual Instrument System Architecture) is an I/O software standard for communicating with test
instruments like VectorStar over any of the bus architectures which VectorStar supports. Licensed VISA
drivers are available from National Instruments and Agilent. National Instruments VISA drivers are available
for the following operating systems:
•Windows 2000/Vista x64/Vista x86/XP/Windows 7
•Mac OS X
•Linux
•Mandriva
•RedHat
•SUSE
•PharLap
•VxWorks
•Pocket PC 2003
•Windows CE/Mobile
It’s always a good idea to get the latest driver (Version 4.4.1 as of the release date of this document), but make
sure to get the Full Version (not just the runtime) version 4.4 or higher for the best support of the latest .NET
3.5 Framework, USB and TCP/IP. The driver is available from http://www.ni.com or from NI Device Driver CD
that comes with NI hardware.
Note
The NI-VISA software, a product of National Instruments, is not freeware, but rather a licensed
software product available for purchase from National Instruments. The type of license required
depends whether you are developing or deploying an application. More information on National
Instruments and NI-VISA, consult their web site at http://www.ni.com.
D-2 Programming Basics Programming Basics with Legacy Software
D-2 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Installing NI-VISA 4.4 Driver from the Device Driver CD does not automatically install Development Support
for the .NET Framework so it must be selectively installed. Be sure to select “Examples” as well. The VISA
Version 4.4 driver supports the .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0 and 3.5.
The Full NI-VISA 4.4.1 installation can also be selected from Developer Support for .NET Framework 3.5.

Programming Environments
Programming environments that are commonly used with test equipment include LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual Studio (2003, 2005, 2008), Visual Basic 6, HP Basic, and others. NI-VISA
supports the following Windows development environments:
•LabVIEW 8.6/8.5/8.2/7.1.1
•LabWindows/CVI 8.5/8.1/8.0/7.1
•Measurement Studio for Visual Studio 2008/2005/2003 (all versions)
•Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/2005/2003/6.0
•Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
The examples below use Visual C# 2008 Express Edition, which uses C# 3.0 and the .NET Framework 3.5. You
can download the Express Edition for free from the Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/download
GPIB Mnemonics
The MS464xB Series VNA has a fairly large set of GPIB commands. This includes a set of Native commands,
Lightning commands, and for MS464xA Series VNAs, Agilent HP8510 commands. You use the same
commands regardless of the communication method employed. Refer to Example 3 in this appendix for using
the LIST command to output the full set of supported GPIB mnemonics directly from the VNA.

Example 1 Discussion
Program Output
1. Examine the program output.
2. The console output should look something like the following if everything worked. The result is
Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, and Firmware Version.
Address String
3. Check the Address String.
4. If the example did not work, check that the Address string matches your setup. The following error
results if the address is wrong or the connection string is no good:
5. The first thing to observe is the VISA connection string. Here are some possible strings:
//VXI-11 Connection string
string sAddress = "TCPIP0::10.0.1.194::INSTR";
//GPIB Connection string
string sAddress = "GPIB0::6::INSTR";
//USB Connection string (vendor::product::serial_number)
string sAddress = "USB0::0x0B5B::0xFFD0::MS4647B-12345::INSTR";
6. When using VISA, the only thing that needs to be changed for any of these possible communication
protocols is the connection string. The rest of the code should be exactly the same (except for SOCKETS).
VXI-11 should be used for TCP/IP since it implements the IEEE 488.2 standard and all status checking.

Figure D-23. Error Result
D-6 VISA and C# Programming Examples Programming Basics with Legacy Software
D-16 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
7. The connection string for a TCP/IP socket connection is:
//TCP/IP Sockets Connection string
string sAddress = "TCPIP0::10.0.1.194::5001::SOCKET";
8. Opening the communication session:
//open a Session to the VNA
mySession = ResourceManager.GetLocalManager().Open(sAddress);
//cast this to a message based session
mbSession = (MessageBasedSession)mySession;
9. Write to VNA and Read from VNA:
//Send "*IDN?" command
mbSession.Write("*IDN?\n");
//Read the response
responseString = mbSession.ReadString();
Notice that the mbSession.Write() commands are terminated with a “/n”. This is the newline
character.
Session Parameters
10. The next example discusses session parameters. Some of the other examples will get into reading binary
data and arbitrary block data.
Exception Handling
11. The VISA driver catches certain types of errors like time-outs and .NET catches the rest.
catch (VisaException v_exp)
{
Console.WriteLine("Visa caught an error!!");
Console.WriteLine(v_exp.Message);
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
Console.WriteLine("Something didn't work!!");
Console.WriteLine(exp.Message);
Console.WriteLine();
}
The VisaException function catches a time-out on a ReadString().
Close the Session
12. Close the session using Dispose():
//Close the Session
mbSession.Dispose();

Example 2 Discussion
Status Byte Checks
1. This example checks the Status Byte prior to reading the response. The Status Byte is the Service
Request Status Register and is discussed in “Status Group Reporting” on page 2-28. LANG is set to
NATIVE to use the MS464xB Series VNA Status Register Configuration. In general, a Message
Available (MAV) response is expected when data is available to read. Otherwise, something else is
expected to be in the Error Queue (ERRQ). Notice when the code sends an unknown command “ABC”,
the testStatus() function catches it and outputs the message in the Error Queue.
2. The response is slightly changed from Native to Lightning. If LANG LIGHT is set, then the Lightning
configuration of the Status Register is used.

1. This example and the next few examples do not write anything to the Console unless there is an error.
Output is sent to a file in the same directory of the running program (\Example3\Bin\Debug\List.txt):
Use of LANG LIGHT
2. Use LANG LIGHT – Lightning has the same command, but is comma delimited:
//Set the Language to LIGHTNING and send the LIST command
mbSession.Write("LANG LIGHT\n");
mbSession.Write("LIST\n");
responseString = testStatus_Read(mbSession);
//the results are delimited by a comma

Output Results
1. Output result values are the same for Native mode and Lightning mode (since the unit is in HOLD), but
the delimiters are different. Native mode uses a comma delimiters to separate the two values at each
frequency and a newline (\n) to separate pairs of values. Lightning mode separates each value with a
comma. The display was set for Smith Chart, impedance.
OFD Command
2. The OFD command returns an arbitrary block containing either ASCII or Binary data depending on the
currently selected format. This example selects ASCII using the FMA command. The Arbitrary block
header is stripped off with the stripHeader(string responseString) function. The next example
shows how to get binary data.

D-7 LabView Programming Examples
This section describes eight programs that demonstrate the use of the 37XXX LabVIEW driver controlling the
MS464xB Series VNA. The programs provide functions to:
•Open a session
•Send the *IDN? command
•Check for errors
•Send data to a file with the LIST command
•Acquire trace data
•Acquire Smith Chart data
•Output an S2P File
•Output a BMP file
Setup Communications
1. Set up VXI-11 (TCP/IP) communications by noting the IP Address of the VNA and set up a resource (a
connection string).

2. Set up the VISA resource using the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).
3. Create a new resource in MAX by right clicking Devices and Interfaces and select Create New.

4. Select the VISA TCP/IP Resource.
5. If the controlling PC and the VNA are on the same local sub-network (this is usually true if the first 3
numbers in the IP address are the same – for example, 10.0.1.x in this case), then you can Auto-detect
the VNA. Otherwise, you need to manually enter the IP address.

9. In LabVIEW, begin creating the first example, a New VI.
Example 1 – Opening a Session
In this first example, a communication session is opened to the VNA and two of the driver VIs are used to get
some information about the VNA. The block diagram below shows four VIs from the Anritsu 37XXX Series
driver:
•Initialize.vi
•Revision Query.vi
•Instrument Options.vi
•Close.vi.

1. In the Front Panel dialog, select “VectorStar_Test”, which was set up previously, as the VISA resource
name.
2. After running this VI, the Instrument Driver Version, Instrument Firmware Version, and Options are
filled in.

Figure D-45. Front Panel Dialog
D-7 LabView Programming Examples Programming Basics with Legacy Software
D-44 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Example 2 – Sending the *IDN? Command
The previous example used only driver VIs to get some information from the VNA. The GPIB command,
“*IDN?” returns the Manufacturer, Model #, Serial Number and Firmware Version. In this example, the
“*IDN?” command is used directly and the return string is parsed into the different parts of the response.
1. Directly send a GPIB string using the VISA Write function, then read the response from the VNA using
the VISA Read function.
2. Use the Scan From String function to grab the different comma-separated values in the response string.

Figure D-47. Front Panel for Example 1
Programming Basics with Legacy Software D-7 LabView Programming Examples
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U D-45
Example 2 – Error Checking
Most of the 37xxx driver VIs use the Error Query.vi. This example shows that if an invalid GPIB string is sent
to the VNA, then the Error Query VI catches the error and displays the error message from the VNA.
1. Two valid strings, “*IDN?” and “OID,” are sent, but the third string is not a valid GPIB command and
the instrument reports this to the Front Panel.
2. Mix VISA Writes and Reads with the 37XXX driver’s Error Query VI.
3. The “ABC” command sent is invalid and was captured by the Error Query VI.

Figure D-49. Front Panel for Example 2
D-7 LabView Programming Examples Programming Basics with Legacy Software
D-46 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Example 3 – Sending Data to a File with the LIST Command
This example sends output to a file that the user may specify (a file dialog is opened). The VISA Write
command is used to send the LIST command to the VNA. The “LANG NATIVE” command is used because this
sends a newline after each command in the output. If “LANG LIGHT” is used, then the commands are
separated by a comma and the file is more difficult to read.
The Front Panel shows that no errors were produced with either the GPIB code or with the File writing code.

The List of all commands supported by the MS464xB Series VNA is output to a text file. Note that the first line
has an arbitrary block header, which is covered in Example 6.
Use the Anritsu GPIB, USB, VXI-11, and TCP/IP Exerciser to get more help on any command. Help displays
the type of command (Lightning, Native, or HP8510) and provides syntax.

D-48 PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U MS464xB Series VNA PM
Example 4 – Acquiring Trace Data
Trace 2 is set to Log magnitude and Phase data and the data comes out in a one dimensional interleaved array.
The array must be parsed to get the data into two separate arrays. In this example, the VNA is initialized to
get Log Magnitude and Phase Data (Final Data) from Trace 2. When two sets of data exist, the 1D array must
be parsed into two arrays since data 0, 2, 4, etc., is Log Magnitude data and data 1, 3, 5, etc., is phase data.
Send separate traces to each XY Graph. (Note that this data is from a simulated MS464xB and might not look
authentic).
Example 5 – Smith Chart Data
This example is similar to the previous example except the instrument is not reset, which sets up smith charts
on trace 1 and 4. Although the frequency data is not needed to display the smith chart, the frequency list is
extracted from the Read Frequency Values VI and the data count is determined from the number of frequencies.
This data count is passed to the For Loop control.
By default Trace1 is set to output impedance values. Smith chart takes a normalized impedance (normalized to
1), so we divide the impedance/reactance pairs by 50 (ohms) to get normalized smith chart data.
Figure D-54. VI Block Diagram
Figure D-55. Front Panel for Example 4
Programming Basics with Legacy Software D-7 LabView Programming Examples
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U D-49
Use the Frequency Array to get the number of points to input into the For Loop control. The Channel Data from
Channel 1 is Impedance/Reactance, so divide by Z0 (or 50 ohms, hardcoded here) to get the smith chart data.
Below is the Front Panel Display where the data is from a simulated MS464xB.

Below is the equivalent display on the MS464xB.
Example 6 – Output S2P File
This example uses VISA Writes and 37XXX driver VIs to accomplish tasks that the driver can’t perform.
Specifically, sending Native MS464xB commands with Lightning commands to output an S2P file from the
VNA to the PC. Since the driver VI is saved as a Private VI in the version 1.1 driver it must be made public (as
shown in Figure D-60).
A combination of VISA and driver commands is used to first send Native GPIB strings to setup the S2P output
to 25 data points, Frequency in Hz, and Data Format to Real/Imaginary via the Read ASCII ARB function (the
private driver to be made public, and then included directly to the VI).

Programming Basics with Legacy Software D-7 LabView Programming Examples
MS464xB Series VNA PM PN: 10410-00322 Rev. U D-51
Several of the Private functions in the driver are useful and can be made public by using Access Scope in the
Project Explorer.
When the VI runs, a dialog allows the transferred S2P file name to be selected. Make sure to save the file with
an “.S2P” extension.

Example 7 – Output BMP File
A similar technique as that used in example 6 gets the bitmap data to a file. The Lightning commands
“BMPC;OBMP” outputs a bitmap file. BMPC selects color on white as the color scheme, making for better
printouts. The “Read ASCII ARB.vi” is used to strip off the arbitrary block header and place the bitmap data
into a file (the header corrupts the bitmap file).

extension.

The results of running Example 0 are shown below. The au37xxx_revision_query() function returns two
strings. The first is the version of the driver and the second is the version of firmware on the VNA.
Example 1 – Sending the *IDN? Command and Displaying Results
The previous example used only driver functions to get some information from the VNA. The GPIB command,
“*IDN?” returns the Manufacturer, Model #, Serial Number and Firmware Version. This command was used
previously in the Anritsu GPIB, USB, VXI-11, and TCP/IP Exerciser. In this example, the “*IDN?” command is
directly issued and then the different parts of the response string are parsed.

The Service Request Status Register is shown below and is slightly changed from Lightning to the MS464xB
VNA. If LANG LIGHT is set, then the Lightning configuration of the Status Register is used. In this example
the “LANG NATIVE” command is sent to use the MS464xB status register. The code checks b2 to see if the
error queue is not empty.

The command error is caught after sending the erroneous “ABC” command and reports the message, “Faulty
program mnemonic syntax.”
Example 3 – Sending Data to a File with the LIST Command
The Lightning commands “FMT1;LIST” are sent to get the full list of commands supported by the MS464xB.
The sting returned is an ASCII arbitrary block and the au37xxx_readAsciiARBBlock() function is used to strip
off the arbitrary block header. The results are then sent to a file.

Use the Anritsu GPIB, USB, VXI-11 Exerciser to get more help on any command. Help will tell you what type
of command (Native, Lightning, HP8510) and provides syntax.
Example 4 – Acquiring Trace Data
In this example, the final data from Trace 2, which is set to Log magnitude and Phase data, is acquired
programmatically. The data comes out in a one dimensional, interleaved array. The array must be parsed to
get the log magnitude and phase data into two separate arrays.

Example 5 is modified to use the built-in Smith chart control. The following program is adapted from the Smith
Chart Demo in the samples\apps\smithchart directory. The smith chart fp, found in toolslib\toolbox\smith.fp. is
used. By default, Trace1 is set to output impedance values. Most Smith chart controls actually take a
normalized impedance (normalized to 1), so the impedance/reactance pairs are divided by 50 ohms to get
normalized smith chart data.

Example 7 – Output BMP File
A similar technique can be used to get the bitmap data to a file as in the previous example. The Lightning
commands “BMPC;OBMP” are used to output a bitmap file. BMPC selects color on white as the color scheme,
making for better printouts. The au37xxx_readAsciiARBBlock() function is used to strip off the arbitrary block
header and place the bitmap data into a file (the header corrupts the bitmap file).

Appendix E — Alphabetical Command Index
E-1 Introduction
This appendix provides an alphabetical listing of all commands and queries available for the VectorStar Series
VNA.
Sorting
Due to ASCII sorting:
•Commands beginning with a colon (“ : ” or SCPI commands) are sorted first.
•Commands with an optional keyword indicated by brackets (“[ ]”) sort after the non-optional keywords.
For example :STATe sorts before [:STATe].
•Commands that start with an asterisk (“ * ” or IEEE 488.2 commands) are sorted next.
•Commands that start with a number or letter are sorted last.
System Suffix
The “System” suffix has been added to the VectorStar Series VNA system, diagnostic, and troubleshooting
commands in this index list. These are only for identification and not a part of the actual command syntax.
