3 System Overview
The following chapter provides an overview of the analyzer's capabilities and their use. This includes a
description of the basic concepts that the analyzer uses to organize, process and display measurement
data, of the screen contents, possible measured quantities, calibration methods and typical test setups.
For a systematic explanation of all menus, functions and parameters and background information refer
to the reference description on the graphical user interface (
GUI Reference) in the online help system.
Basic Concepts
The analyzer provides a variety of functions to perform a particular measurement and to customize and
optimize the evaluation of results. To ensure that the instrument resources are easily accessible and
that user-defined configurations can be conveniently implemented, stored and reused the instrument
uses a hierarchy of structures:
•
Global resources can be used for all measurements, irrespective of the current measurement
session or setup.
•
A setup comprises a set of diagram areas with all displayed information that can be stored to a
setup file.
•
The diagram areas show traces which are assigned to channels. See section Traces, Channels
and Diagram Areas .
