The channel settings complement the definitions of the
Trace
menu. Each trace is assigned to a channel,
see Traces, Channels and Diagram Areas. The channel settings apply to all traces assigned to the
channel.
(No direct access via front panel keys)
The
Channel
menu contains the following functions and submenus:
•
Stimulus
defines the sweep range, depending on the sweep type.
•
Pwr Bw
defines the power of the internal signal source, sets the step attenuators and the IF
bandwidths, and configures the sweep average.
•
Cal
provides all functions that are necessary to perform a system error correction (calibration).
•
Sweep
defines the scope of measurement, including the sweep type and the periodicity of the
measurement.
•
Channel Select
provides functions to handle and activate channels.
Stimulus
The
Stimulus
submenu defines the frequency sweep range in the current channel.
•
In Cartesian diagrams, the sweep range corresponds to the diagram width and defines the scaling
of the x-axis.
•
In polar diagrams and Smith charts the stimulus axis is lost but the marker functions easily provide
the stimulus value of any measurement point.
•
Center
opens the input field for the center
frequency. It corresponds to the center of the Cartesian
diagram, i.e. (Start + Stop)/2.
•
Span
opens the input field for the frequency span. It
corresponds to the diagram width, i.e. (Stop –
Start).
•
Start
opens the input field for the the lowest frequency to be measured. It corresponds to the left
edge of the Cartesian diagram.
•
Stop
opens the input field for the highest frequency to be measured. It corresponds to the right
edge of the Cartesian diagram.
•
Power
defines the power of the internal signal source.
The Marker Functions provide a convenient alternative to the manual entry of the sweep range
parameters. Use the paste marker list for convenient entry of
Start
and
Stop
values.
Equivalence
of settings:
For a frequency sweep the
Start
and
Stop
frequencies or the
Center
frequency and
Span
are alternative settings
