1 R&S CMU200 is the RF tester used for production RF calibration of FreeCalypso
2 GSM devices. The CMU200 can be operated in three ways: manually via the front
3 panel, programmatically via GPIB and programmatically via SCPI commands over
4 RS-232. GPIB is the industry standard, but for FreeCalypso the Mother has
5 adopted the RS-232 control interface method instead in order to avoid the
6 exotic hardware and equally exotic drivers and libraries required for GPIB:
7 using the RS-232 interface requires absolutely no special hardware or drivers
8 or libraries, just userspace C code without any dependencies talking to a
9 serial port just like we do when communicating with Calypso target serial ports.

11 Initialization commands
12 =======================

14 Our Test System Interface Daemon for the CMU200 will issue the following SCPI
15 commands to the instrument on start-up:
