I can't find SCPI command for "Main Service" when control CMU200 in GPRS mode

I am trying to code a Labview program for GPRS RF auto-test with CMU200(a universial GSM tester from R&S). However, I can't find any command in the CMU200 user mannual to change "Main Service" mode between "Circuit Siwtched" and "Packed Switched".

Of course, I can get LV driver for CMU200 from NI driver library, but you can't find any function block for the action to change "Main Service" mode between "Circuit Siwtched" and "Packed Switched".

Anybody who have CMU200 program experience can help me? Thanks in advance.

Yaoming,

I don't have experience with this instrument, but I was curious if you could contact the manufacturer and ask them what the function would be. If I run across something I will let you know.

JenK,

Thanks for your kind reply. In fact,I have worked with instruments from R&S for long time and I also have ever asked R&S Application Engineers some questions, but I am very dispointed to their support. Their answer is very slow,not professional and invaluable, so I don't want to ask them any more this time.

I would like to ask friends here rather than guys in R&S.

Yaoming,

I went ahead and forwarded your question to R&S. Here is what they had to say:

Hello Jennifer,

Thank you for forwardng this message to us.

We are very concerned about this customer's perception of our support, and
would like to work together with you to restore their faith in Rohde &
Schwarz support. Rohde & Schwarz has a strong committment to customer
satisfaction, and messages like this are very troubling to us.

I am hoping that their previous bad experience was before last June, when
Rohde & Schwarz began supporting our own products in the USA. ( Before
then, our US support was handled by Tektronix.)

Would it be possible to have the customer's contact information for our
records? We will not contact the customer unless you tell us to.

Here is the answer to the question:

There is no command to change the "Main Service" mode. This is because the
service mode is set by making a connection to the mobile phone.

You can, however, query the CMU to determine what "Main Service" mode is
active, after the connection is made.

Here is the section from the CMU GSM manual that explains this:

And here is the section showing an example of making a "Circuit Switched"
connection:

Likewise, there is a similar command to setup a "Packet Data" connection:

(Embedded image moved to file: pic16512.jpg)

So, if using the LabView CMU200 driver, the vi to make a connection is :

RSCMU_GSM_Sig_ProcSignAct

(Ran out of space on previous post, this is a continuation)

This VI changes between the different signalling states of the CMU,
sets a timeout for the communications with the mobile.

Signalling Control (1: SON) This control changes between the different
signalling states of the CMU.

Available values:
SOFF |Switch off BCCH signal (signal off)
SON |Switch on BCCH signal (signal on)
MTC |Mobile Terminating Call (Call to Mobile)
SMS |Short message service
CRELease |Call released
HANDover |Handover

Default Value:
SON

Or, to make a pakcet data connection , the vi is :

RSCMU_GSM_Sig_ProcSignPdatAct

This VI changes between the different packet data signalling states of the
CMU.

Signalling Control (Signal ON) This control changes between the different
signalling states of the CMU.

Available values:
Switch off BCCH signal (signal off)
Switch on BCCH signal (signal on)
Connect Test Mode A
Connect Test Mode B
Disconnect
Connect Reduced Signalling/sync. mode B
Connect Reduced Signalling/sync. mode A
Connect Downlink only
Connect Block Error Rate

>= V3.25:
Connect Red.Sign.Mode C Sym. (EGPRS)
Connect Red.Sign.Mode C Asym.(EGPRS)
Handover

Default Value:
SON

By the way, on our web site, we have example LabView vi's to demonstrate
the use of the LabView driver functions to make measurements:

And please help us make the customer feel free to contact us again if they
have any other questions about Rohde & Schwarz products.

If you would like for me to give them your information I will do that. Just repost it and I'll pass it on to them. If you would like to contact them yourself I would send an email to Bill Bock, his email address is above. I hope this answers your question.
