When all transducers have been switched off, the R&S
FSV/A returns to the unit that
was used before a transducer was activated.
Configuration
The R&S
FSV/A supports transducer lines with a maximum of 1001 data points. Eight
of the transducer lines stored in the instrument can be activated simultaneously. The
number of transducer lines stored in the instrument is only limited by the capacity of
the storage device used.
A transducer line consists of the following data:
●
A maximum of 1001 data points with a position and value
●
A unit for the values
●
A name to distinguish the transducer lines
Validity
The transducer factors must comply with the following rules to ensure correct opera-
tion:
●
The frequencies for the data points must always be defined in ascending order.
Otherwise the entry will not be accepted and an error message is displayed.
●
The frequencies of the data points may exceed the valid frequency range of the
R&S
FSV/A since only the set frequency range is taken into account for measure-
ments. The minimum frequency of a data point is 0 Hz, the maximum frequency
200 GHz.
●
The value range for the transducer factor is ±200 dB.
●
Gain has to be entered as a negative value, and attenuation as a positive value.
Storing transducer factors
Transducer factors can be exported to a file in ASCII (CSV) format for further evalua-
tion in other applications. Transducer factors stored in the specified ASCII (CSV) for-
mat can also be imported to the R&S
FSV/A for other measurements.
Transducer factors can also be stored with the configuration settings so they can be
recalled for other measurements at a later time. Note, however, that any changes
made to the transducer factors
after
storing the configuration file cannot be restored
and will be overwritten by the stored values when the configuration file is recalled.
Always remember to store the settings again after changing the transducer factors.

Recalling transducer factors stored with measurement settings
After recalling measurement settings, the transducer factors applied to the measure-
ment may be different to those displayed in the "Transducer" dialog box; see
and recalling transducer and limit line settings"
