Measurement Setup Parameters
This section provides measurement and parameter setup information which are
specific to the 89600 VSA software when used along with the M9710A High Speed
Digitizer. This information can help you to properly setup the VSA in this hardware
configuration to make measurements using your digitizer.
Measurement Setup Parameters:
Alignment/Calibration: Whenever the digitizer configuration is changed, an internal
calibration is required if this new configuration has not yet been calibrated in the
current session. A manual calibration can be performed at any time from the menu
Utilities > Calibration.
The 89600 VSA software uses asynchronous polling to check the
calibration status of connected instruments. A
CAL: Needed
message may appear after a configuration change. This message
disappears after performing a new calibration.
If a signal is present on the input of the digitizer, it may affect the
internal calibration. If the input signal is preventing a successful
internal calibration, a pop-up warning message is raised. In such a
case, please perform a manual calibration with the signal turned
off or disconnected to allow a successful internal calibration .
