Single sweeps and sweep time
It is not possible to save measurement data in single sweep mode because the R&S
Cable Rider ZPH only performs one sweep and then stops.
The time interval must be longer than the sweep time. If the time interval is shorter, the
R&S Cable Rider ZPH is not able to save data because a sweep has to be complete
before the R&S Cable Rider ZPH is able to save the data.
1. Press the [SETUP] key.
2. Select the "User Preference" softkey.
3. Select the "Event Source" menu item.
A drop-down menu to select the event trigger source opens.
a) "Time interval"
You can define the duration of the time interval via the "Time Interval" menu
item.
b) "Limit failure"
Saves measurement data if a limit line is violated.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH provides different modes for handling limit check
failures. You can select one via the "Limits Save Mode".
● "Start On Failure": starts to save measurement data if a limit line is violated.
● "Stop On Failure": stops to save measurement data if a limit line is violated.
● "Save Only Failure": saves only the sweeps that actually fail a limit check.
c) "Distance interval"
Saves measurement data after you have covered a certain distance.
You can define the distance that is covered before the measurement data is
saved via the "Distance Interval" menu item.
d) "Every sweep"
Saves the data of all measurement sweeps that are performed.
Storage device
To use the "Save on Event" functionality, you need either an SD card or a USB stick to
store the data. The internal memory is probably not sufficient.
1. Press the [SETUP] key.
