#Dsa815 tg software
Open "trace1.csv" on a spreadsheet software and plot a graph: You can "pipe" the command to file this way: Output, (shortened version) will be similar to this:
#Dsa815 tg trial
Now we need to take/download traces: this for me is the most interesting part since we can take the traces and then compute over the results, for instance in SWR (when trial license expires ) or 3db bandwidth for example. The result will be like this on the spectrum analyzer:

Note: it will answer the previous set frequency: "124000000"įor stop frequency should be "FREQuency:STOP", bellow for a 450Mhz stop frequency Setting and querying the start frequency: Querying the tracking generator/TG status:

If you need to change to "2" the screen brightness: Note: answer with be a numeric value of the the setting, in my case is "1" The screenshot will literary take a screenshot of what's visible on the screen be it a trace or a configuration screen.Įven more complicated screenshot for the command line die hard's: Then you will need to set the IP via instrument panel, in my case I used a static IP in the same range as the Ethernet port of the laptop.
#Dsa815 tg how to
Recently acquired a Rigol DSA815-TG 1.5Ghz spectrum analyzer and although at the moment I only use computer control for taking some screenshots would be interesting to know how to take more advantage of instrument remote control.įirst thing you will need is connect your instrument via the LAN port to your local network, in my case I just connect it back to back to my laptop.
#Dsa815 tg serial
Same end result as GPIB or Serial port control, that is, you have a system that controls and queries the instrument, only the medium is different on this case, it uses a more modern approach, the Ethernet/LAN. LXI is nothing more than LAN extensions for instrumentation control. You can use also the gui version "lxi-gui" Most of the command are using the " lxi" tool v1.21. It is more Linux oriented but commands can be ported to other systems.ĭid this out of need since I could not find a single explanatory source of information for all the commands listed besides the programing guide and as all programing guides, they never have a simple "how to to this" A short piece of a precision IC socket can be used for the XTAL.Following on the series for " GPIB" control of instruments, this post is about LXI control, in particular the Rigol DSA815-TG spectrum analyzer. The board uses SMA connectors and 0805 1% resistors. A short link is inserted in place of the crystal for calibration.įull KiCAD project documentation for this fixture is included in this repository. This fixture consists of two PI attenuators that aim to match 50 ohm input and output of the spectrum analyzer to 12.5 ohms and a socket for the DUT.

It lets you easily measure parameters of large batches of XTALs and produces a nice Excel spreadsheet. This tool uses what is known as the "-3dB method" to measure the crystal motional parameters. You will also need a measuring fixture as described by Jack K8ZOA in "Crystal Motional Parameters: A Comparison of Measurement Approaches"
