Bandwidth and attenuation query in Agesa (Agilent ESA series)

[engr3]

I'm using Agesa driver to control my Agilent E4448A Spectrum analyzer. My question is how to query the resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, and attenuation level that are being used in current measurement through Agesa. I looked through all VI's in the agesa library, but unfortunately, couldn't find any VI for such queries. I know those bandwidth and attenuation level can be configured (auto or manually) using "Configure sweep coupling.vi". However, what I want to do is that when I set it 'auto'mode, I want to know and display those bandwidths and atten level that were taken 'automatically'.

Thanks,

SJ

Hello SJ,

Do you know of the command that can be used for such a query that is listed in the user manual for your instrument?  If we know the command we may have better luck finding if it is in a VI in the driver.  Also, which version of the driver are you using?
