Controlling USB-SA124/44B

Checking programming manual I could not find commands for:
1. Setting auto option for RBW and VBW
2. Setting spurious reject
3. Average measurement.
Spike is able to set these options.
Please advise how could I do it.
Dragan.

Dragan,
1. I believe AUTO RBW/VBW is a function of Spike. If you like the RBW that Spike selects for your measurement, simply use this RBW, and set VBW = RBW.
2. In the same saConfigSweepCoupling function where you set RBW, set Reject = true for spurious reject
3. saConfigAcquisition is where you select average or min/max

3. Under average measurements I had in mind a function which will be able to give me average measurement results based on selected number of sweeps (10 or 20 or any number).

3.
How do SA-124B and SA-44B provide average measurement results?
Is it a function of Spike?

Dragan,

The API does not perform the sweep averaging you desire.

To accomplish sweep averaging, you will need to acquire N sweeps and accumulate them into a single sweep (add bin-by-bin) and when finished divide each bin by N.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Regards,
Andrew
