4.4.3. “Show all” mode
The
Show all
mode (the
8
key) will show various parameters of a load on a single
screen. Particularly, SWR, return loss (RL), |Z| (magnitude of impedance) as well as its
active (R) and reactive (X) components are shown. Additionally, corresponding values
of inductance (L) or capacitance (C) are displayed:
For this mode, you may choose either
series
or
parallel
model of impedance of a load
through the
Settings
menu:
•
In the series model, impedance is expressed as resistance and reactance
connected in series:
•
In the parallel model, impedance is expressed as resistance and reactance
connected in parallel:
4.5. Graph modes
A key feature of RigExpert antenna analyzers is ability to display various parameters of
a load graphically. Graphs are especially useful to view the behavior of these
parameters over the specified frequency band.
