Setting the Reference Position
The reference position defines the position of the reference line in the diagram. The
reference position is a linear value between "0" and "10". Each value represents one
horizontal grid line of the diagram. The "0" value corresponds to the top grid line and
the "10" corresponds to the bottom grid line.
When you change the reference position, the R&S Cable Rider ZPH also shifts the
position of the trace by the magnitude of the reference position change. It has no effect
on the reference value itself.
