Short screen flicker
On instruments equipped with an FMR7 front module controller, you may observe a
short screen flicker when accessing the Windows desktop. The flicker does not occur
while the network analyzer is running; it does not impair the functionality of the instru-
ment.
1.1.2 Setup Keys
The keys in the TRACE, CHANNEL, DISPLAY, SYSTEM and SUPPORT keypads call
up groups of related measurement settings. Each key corresponds to a drop-down
menu or menu command of the graphical user interface.
The TRACE keys give access to all trace settings and the functions to select, modify
and store different traces. In addition the menu provides the marker, search and limit
check functions.
●
MEAS selects the quantity to be measured and displayed.
●
FORMAT defines how the measured data is presented in the graphical display.
●
SCALE defines how the current trace is presented in the diagram selected in the
Format submenu.
●
TRACE SELECT provides functions to handle traces and diagram areas, and
assign traces to channels.
●
LINES defines limits for measured values and activates the limit check.
●
TRACE FUNCT(ions) store traces to the memory and perform mathematical opera-
tions on traces.
●
MARKER positions markers on a trace, configures their properties and selects the
format of the numerical readout.
●
SEARCH uses markers to locate specific points on the trace.
●
MARKER FUNCT(ions) define the sweep range, scale the diagram and introduce
an electrical length offset using the active marker.
The CHANNEL keys give access to all channel settings and the functions to activate,
modify and store different channels.
●
START CENTER or STOP SPAN define the sweep range, depending on the
sweep type.
●
POWER BW AVG defines the power of the internal signal source, sets the step
attenuators and the IF bandwidths, and configures the sweep average.
●
SWEEP defines the scope of measurement, including the sweep type, the trigger
conditions and the periodicity of the measurement.
●
MODE opens the Port Configuration dialog to define the properties of the physical
and logical (balanced) test ports.
●
CHAN SELECT provides functions to handle and activate channels.
●
CAL provides all functions that are necessary to perform a system error correction
(calibration).
●
OFFSET provides a selection of length offset parameters to shift the measurement
plane.
