N9020A MXA programming Python
« on: July 19, 2024, 09:24:37 am »
I am writing some small scripts to control the N9020A signal analyzer. Basically as a learning experience, when needed for "serious work" I will use the scripts as a starting point. The Spectrum Analysis and Phase Noise modes are well defined. The Noise Figure mode quite less so. I have the N9020A programming manual (abt 3300 pages) but it does not really cover the Noise Figure mode. In particular I can not find the correct commands to load the CAL/MEAS ENR tables from MMEM.  I can operate the SA manually of course but that does not really give a clue how to program the instrument. Is anyone familiar with the NF mode and is there a programming manual available that I have not found (on Keysight's website)?
Thanks in advance,
Harke, PA0HRK

Some of the advanced measurement personalities have their own programming and users manuals, I've linked ones that I bet will have the commands you are looking for. It's for a newer version of the software no doubt, but they maintain pretty good backwards compatibility on the commands and I bet most of these work.

Thank you so much! That was exactly what I was looking for.
Best regards,
