6 Working with the Measurement Wizard
When testing antennas and making measurement which involves complex signals, it is
often necessary to perform a sequence of standardized and recurring measurements,
often in an environment that is not easily accessible. To make sure that measurements
are performed as required and to avoid a constant adjustment of parameters, the R&S
Cable Rider ZPH features a measurement wizard.
The measurement wizard allows you to combine several individual measurement con-
figurations to a sequence of measurements (or measurement set). As all relevant
parameters have been set before the actual measurement and cannot be changed
once the measurement procedure has begun, the wizard is a good way to avoid mis-
takes and save time when setting up measurements.
Note that it is necessary to install and use the R&S InstrumentView software package if
you want to configure the measurement steps and parameters in the measurement
wizard.
This chapter describes the functionality of the measurement wizard. You can use the
wizard for measurements in all the operating modes.
For details on the individual measurements you can perform with the wizard, refer to
the corresponding chapters.

6.1 Performing and Configuring Measurements
Before you can use the measurement wizard, you have to define a measurement set
using the "Wizard Set Editor" in the R&S InstrumentView software package.
The R&S InstrumentView software package is delivered with the R&S Cable Rider
ZPH. The latest version is also available for download on the R&S Cable Rider ZPH
website at
http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/zph.html .
After creating the measurement wizard set using the R&S InstrumentView, transfer the
file to the R&S Cable Rider ZPH.
For more information of the "Wizard Set Editor", see the R&S InstrumentView manual.
