2 About the N9061A Measurement Application
General Rules and Limitations
Device Clear is supported by N9061A, and causes a mode preset of the instrument.
EP Parameter
The EP (Enable Parameter) is supported by N9061A for the same active functions as the 8560
series. When used as a secondary keyword after a command, EP transfers control to the analyzer’s
front-panel.
EP is not displayed in any of the format diagrams for individual commands listed in
Command Descriptions" on page 205
.
OA Parameter
N9061A supports the OA parameter, which is used in conjunction with several legacy commands,
such as AT and CF. OA is equivalent to a query; for example, CF OA is equivalent to CF?.
Handling of Unsupported Commands and Queries
If a command is valid for legacy products but not supported by N9061A, no error message is
generated, although a "Command Not Supported" comment is appended to the Command Log file.
Note that this logging behavior can be controlled via the Logging menu, as described in
If N9061A receives a query that is valid for legacy products, but is not supported by N9061A, it
returns a "0", to avoid the situation where a program would otherwise halt indefinitely waiting for
a return value.
