Trace Settings
The trace settings specify the mathematical operations used in order to obtain traces from the
measured or stored data. They can be divided into several main groups:
•
Selection of the measured quantity (S-parameters, wave quantities, ratios, impedances,...)
•
Conversion into the appropriate display format and selection of the diagram type
•
Scaling of the diagram and selection of the traces associated to the same channel
•
Readout and search of particular values on the trace by means of markers
•
Limit check
The Trace menu provides all trace settings. They complement the definitions of the Channel menu.
Each trace is assigned to a channel. The channel settings apply to all traces assigned to the channel.
Channel Settings
A channel contains hardware-related settings to specify how the network analyzer collects data. The
channel settings can be divided into three main groups:
•
Control of the measurement process (Sweep, Trigger, Average)
•
Description of the test setup (Power of the internal source, IF filter Bandwidth and Step
Attenuators, Port Configuration)
•
Correction data (Calibration, Offset)
The Channel menu provides all channel settings.
