Converting ATE Control
from the Agilent 83480A
to 86100A
Product Note 86100-1
The Agilent Technologies 86100A Digital Communications Analyzer (DCA) will not provide perfect compatibility with the
83480A. In particular, it isn’t possible to directly port all 83480A programming mnemonics to the 86100A.
Instead, the aim is to make it easy to recompile ATE programs to run on the 86100A. Agilent Technologies is unable to
provide perfect compatibility for several reasons:
1. Technical difficulty in the case of architecture changes
2. Low return / low utilization of some other features
3. Attempts to simplify ATE Control of the DCA
Most programs should port easily, but some programmer attention will be required.
The Appendix includes some code examples written in BASIC that will assist you in writing new code for the 86100A, or to
make your ATE programs compatible with both platforms.
It is assumed that the reader understands the elements of syntax of the 83480A.
