Measurement Setup Parameters
Soft Front Panel Control: The 'Disconnect' feature can be used to pause the VSA and
release its control of the digitizer. Then the digitizer can be used independently from
the VSA, for example, using the MD2 SFP application. Independent control must be
released before resuming VSA measurements. When returning to the VSA sofware
and starting or resuming a measurement, the VSA restores the digitizer state that
was set before being disconnected.
Hardware: Set up an Analyzer Configuration with the digitizer as the Logical
Instrument, as described in
89600 VSA Software Configuration (page 7)
.
Overlap: The digitizer does not support overlap processing. However, overlap
processing is available during recording playback.
Recording: The VSA application enables time data recording from the digitizer to the
PC's disk drive. The length of waveform recording time is limited by the memory
available on the digitizer.
Setup Save/Recall: The digitizer state is not saved when the VSA application is
closed. When a setup is recalled into the VSA, the digitizer state is set appropriately
based on the recalled VSA setup.
