Waveform handling
The R&S
RTE can show and analyze many waveforms. To handle this multitude
while keeping track of it, the R&S
RTE provides intelligent support:
●
The color system helps to distinguish the waveforms. The color of the vertical
rotary knobs indicates the signal that is focused (selected). The color of each
waveform can be changed, the color of its signal icon and of the illuminated
keys is adjusted to the new color. Alternatively, a color table can be assigned
to a waveform. Settings: DISPLAY > "Signal Colors / Persistence" tab.
●
Waveforms can be minimized to signal icons showing a small real-time signal
view. Thus, more space in the diagram area is available without switching off
waveforms.
●
Diagrams are displayed on tabs
–
you can arrange them side by side or one
above the other. To change the diagram name, double-tap the tab name.
●
The Rohde & Schwarz SmartGrid function helps to arrange the diagrams.
Waveform states
Depending on its place on the screen and the effect of settings, a waveform has
one of the following states:
●
Off
●
Active:
The waveform is shown in a diagram
●
Selected:
One of the active waveforms that has the focus. In each diagram, one of the
assigned waveforms is selected
–
it appears "on top" in the diagram, and the
grid labels have the color of the selected waveform. Some of the toolbar func-
tions, like cursor and histogram measurements are performed on the selected
waveform. All waveform-specific settings are applied to the selected waveform
of the selected diagram. The vertical POSITION / OFFSET and SCALE
knobs, and the SIGNAL OFF key are illuminated with the color of the selected
waveform.
In
, "Ch1" is the selected waveform: The frame of the diagram and
the signal icon are highlighted.
●
Minimized:
The waveform is shown as real-time signal view in its signal icon.
