measurement with their corresponding remote control command
●How to Perform Measurements in MSRA Mode
The basic procedure to perform an MSRA measurement with step-by-step instruc-
tions
●Measurement Examples
Detailed measurement examples to guide you through typical measurement sce-
narios and allow you to try out the operating mode immediately
●Optimizing and Troubleshooting the Measurement
Hints and tips on how to handle errors and optimize the test setup
●Remote Commands for MSRA Measurements
Remote commands required to configure and perform MSRA measurements in a
remote environment, sorted by tasks
(Commands required to set up the environment or to perform common tasks on the
instrument are provided in the main R&S FSWP User Manual)
