13 Measurement Wizard
The measurement wizard is a tool that allows you to combine several individual mea-
surement configurations to a sequence of measurements (or measurement set). Each
individual measurement configuration is based on a
dataset that you have previously
saved. Because all relevant parameters have been defined before the actual measure-
ment and cannot be changed once the measurement procedure has begun, the wizard
is a good way to avoid mistakes and save time when setting up measurements.
This topic describes the functionality of the measurement wizard. For details on the
individual measurements you can perform with the wizard, refer to the corresponding
chapters.

You can use the wizard for measurements in all available applications.
Note that it is necessary to install and use the R&S InstrumentView software package if
you want to access and use the measurement wizard.
Before you can use the measurement wizard, you have to define a measurement set
with the R&S
InstrumentView software package and transfer it to the R&S FPC.
The R&S InstrumentView software package is available for download on the R&S FPC
website at www.rohde-schwarz.com/manual/fpc .
Creating a measurement set
A measurement set consists of several datasets. A dataset is a file that contains the
settings of a specific R&S
FPC configuration, for example frequency, scaling etc. To
get hold of a dataset, set up the R&S FPC as you need and save the configuration or
use one of the predefined datasets.
For more information about how to create measurement sets, see "Saving datasets"
on page 48.
1. Start the R&S InstrumentView software on your PC.
2. Open the "Wizard Set" editor in the software ("Preparation" > "Wizard Sets").
The R&S InstrumentView opens a dialog that provides all functionality to manage
measurement sets.
3. Create a new measurement set from scratch or open an existing measurement set
to edit that set.
Define global characteristics of the measurement set in the "Global" category.
