Paste Marker List
A pull-down list symbol next to a numeric input field opens a list of all current stimulus
and response marker values of the active trace. Any of the marker values can be selected
as a numeric entry. If the physical unit of the selected marker value is inconsistent (mis-
match of stimulus and response values) then the numeric value is used without the unit.
The response values in the paste marker list are not updated as the analyzer continues
measuring, so they may differ from the values in the marker info field.
To open the paste marker list you can also click on the input field and use the space bar
of your keyboard or the checkmark key in the NAVIGATION keypad at the front panel of
the analyzer.
3.2.3.5
Numeric Entry Bar
Single numeric values can be entered using the input field of the numeric entry bar. The
numeric entry bar appears just below the menu bar as soon as a function implying a single
numeric entry is activated. In contrast to dialogs, it does not hide any of the display ele-
ments in the diagram area.
The numeric entry bar contains the name of the calling function, a numeric input field
including the "Cursor Up/Down" buttons for data variation and a step symbol , and a
"Close" button. Besides it is closed automatically as soon as an active display element
in the diagram area is clicked or a new menu command is activated.
3.2.4 Display Formats and Diagram Types
A display format defines how the set of (complex) measurement points is converted and
displayed in a diagram. The display formats in the "Trace – Format" menu use the fol-
lowing basic diagram types:
●
Cartesian (rectangular) diagrams are used for all display formats involving a conver-
sion of the measurement data into a real (scalar) quantity, i.e. for "dB Mag",
"Phase", "Delay", "SWR", "Lin Mag", "Real", "Imag" and "Unwrapped Phase".
●
Polar diagrams are used for the display format "Polar" and show a complex quantity
as a vector in a single trace.
●
Smith charts are used for the display format "Smith". They show a complex quantity
like polar diagrams but with grid lines of constant real and imaginary part of the impe-
dance.
