Remote-Control Commands
The following commands are required to generate signals with the DVB-S2x option in a
remote environment. We assume that the R&S
SMCV100B has already been set up
for remote operation in a network as described in the R&S
SMCV100B documentation.
A knowledge about the remote control operation and the SCPI command syntax are
assumed.
Conventions used in SCPI command descriptions
For a description of the conventions used in the remote command descriptions, see
section "Remote-Control Commands" in the R&S
SMCV100B user manual.
Common suffixes
The following common suffixes are used in the remote commands:
Suffix
Value range

SOURce<hw>

TSL<ch>
1 to 8
Available time slices
IS<ch>
1 to 8
Available input streams
Programming examples
This description provides simple programming examples. The purpose of the examples
is to present
all
commands for a given task. In real applications, one would rather
reduce the examples to an appropriate subset of commands.
The programming examples have been tested with a software tool which provides an
environment for the development and execution of remote tests. To keep the example
as simple as possible, only the "clean" SCPI syntax elements are reported. Non-exe-
cutable command lines (e.g. comments) start with two // characters.
At the beginning of the most remote control program, an instrument preset/reset is rec-
ommended to set the instrument to a definite state. The commands
*RST
and
SYSTem:PRESet
are equivalent for this purpose.
*CLS
also resets the status registers
and clears the output buffer.
