Remote control via driver: single sweep with average of 10 - *OPC is not working

Question

I am using the R&S drivers to program a single averaged sweep over 10 sweeps.

I trigger this single sweep with the RSZVB_Send_Trigger_and_Wait_for_OPC driver, but this driver does not wait for the complete 10 sweeps.

If I don't use averaging, this program is works.

Answer

In this driver the single sweep is triggered with the *TRG command, and this does not work here.

You have to use the driver that uses the INIT command to trigger a single group of 10 sweeps. This is implemented in:

RSZVB_Send_Channel_Trigger_and_Wait_for_OPC
