Measure unwanted spurious, take screenshot and transfer to PC from MXA N9020A

[jimbobaggies]

LabVIEW 2017 SP1 on Windows 10 PC

Agilent MXA N9020A connected to the controlling PC using GPIB to USB controller

I wish to measure a specific frequency band (see attached png), within that band I expect to see the wanted carrier and four signals at a much lower power level, however any other signals will be unwanted spurious noise. Is there a way I could run a set of measurements to check for the wanted frequencies, but also detecte any spurious? Also, I would like to take a screenshot and save this file to a local PC, can this be done?

I guess the answers to all these questions are given in the (programming) manual of your spectrum analyzer. Did you read it?

Your spectrum analyzer already detected those 5 frequencies, so probably you only need to read them from the device…

Hi GerdW,

I am able to use LabVIEW to measure the wanted frequencies, it is the method required to look for the unwanted spurious and saving screenshot to a PC that I am having trouble with.
