DESCRIPTION

The Lab::Instrument::SR780 class implements an interface to the Stanford Research SR780 Network Signal Analyzer.

CONSTRUCTOR

  $sr780=new Lab::Instrument::SR780($board,$gpib);

METHODS

start_measurement

  $sr780->start_measurement();

Starts the measurement. Any average in progress is reset and started over. If the measurement is paused, starts the measurement over. This method is the same as pressing the [Start/Reset] key.

pause_measurement

  $sr780->pause_measurement();

If the measurement is already in progress, pauses the measurement. If the measurement is paused, it has no effect. This method is similar to pressing the [Pause/Cont] key.

continue_measurement

  $sr780->continue_measurement();

If the measurement is paused, continues the measurement. If the measurement is running, it has no effect. This method is similar to pressing the [Pause/Cont] key.

read_display_data

  @data=$sr780->read_display_data($display);

Returns a list of data from the given display ($display is either 'A' or 'B').

read_data_pairs

  @pairs=$sr780->read_data_pairs($display);

Reads the data of display $display. The data is returned as a list of references to arrays with a frequency,data pair.

average_status

  $num_avg=$sr780->average_status($display);

Returns the number of already completed averages for display $display.

send_commands

  $sr780->send_commands(@commands);

Sends a list of commands to the instrument. Useful for mass configuration.

id

  $id=$sr780->id();

Returns the instruments ID string.

play

  $sr780->play($sound);

Plays the predefinded sound $sound (between 0 and 6).

tone

  $sr780->tone($tone,$duration);

Plays the note $tone (between 0 and 66) on the internal speaker. The tone is played for the time $duration, which is in units of 5ms.

play_song

  $sr780->play_song();

Plays the song Alle meine Entchen on the internal speaker of the SR780. While this might not be especially useful for your measurements, it will guaranty you ubergeek status among the colleagues in your lab.

CAVEATS/BUGS

probably many
