However, we recommend that you check the list and possibly rework. It can be that ...
●
A parameter has not assigned an SCPI command or an element of the user inter-
face has not an assigned parameter. In these cases,
:SYST:INF:SCPI 'SCPI
command not available'
is entered in the list instead.
Such entries are also detected during execution. The instrument recognizes these
incomplete commands and displays an error message.
●
A preset has been executed, but several standards subsequently perform some
internal settings that are also assigned to the list with "SCPI Export".
●
After a preset still some settings are defined, which are then written to the list gen-
erated with "SCPI Export."
Some suggestions on how you can check and revise a list:
1. Search and remove missing command entries.
2. Remove unnecessary content that has been written after a preset.
3. Rearrange the commands to a reasonable order. If you for example set a
STATe
command to the last position of a list, you can avoid intermediate calculations of
the signal.
4. Preview the list for completeness by comparing it with the modified settings in the
manual mode.
a) To retrace your settings in manual operation, open the context-sensitive menu
and select "Mark all parameters changed from preset".
The function identifies all settings you have changed, both in the block dia-
gram, and in the dialogs. They appear orange.
b) Check whether there is a command in the list for all modified settings.
5. To perform modifications, export the list to a PC, using for example a USB stick.
