Channel bar
Using the R&S
FSV/A you can handle several different measurement tasks (channels)
at the same time (although they can only be performed asynchronously). For each
channel, a separate tab is displayed on the screen. To switch from one channel display
to another, simply select the corresponding tab.
If many tabs are displayed, select the tab selection list icon at the right end of the chan-
nel bar. Select the channel you want to switch to from the list.
MultiView tab
An additional tab labeled "MultiView" provides an overview of all active channels at a
glance. In the "MultiView" tab, each individual window contains its own channel bar
with an additional button. Tap this button, or double-tap in any window, to switch to the
corresponding channel display quickly.
Icons in the channel bar
The yellow star icon on the tab label (sometimes referred to as a "dirty flag") indi-
cates that invalid or inconsistent data is displayed, that is: the trace no longer matches
the displayed instrument settings. Thiscan happen, for example, when you change the
measurement bandwidth, but the displayed trace is still based on the old bandwidth. As
soon as a new measurement is performed or the display is updated, the icon disap-
pears.
The icon indicates that an error or warning is available for that measurement chan-
nel. This is particularly useful if the MultiView tab is displayed.
