user manual V3.1

The single sweep is very useful during a development or optimization. It allows studying
the measurement and saving it to recall it later. This can provide a series of snapshots
before and after several modifications and it allows stepping back in the process to
compare results.
Calibration
While the VNA is calibrated to do measurements at its ports, when cables are used to
measure a device then the measurement must be calibrated at the end of the adapters and
cables in order to measure the characteristics of the DUT without the cables.
More about the concept and procedure of calibration is explained later in this manual.
Sweep control bar
These are the functions of the sweep control bar:
You perform a single sweep hitting the
Sweep-button
. You can make a repetitive sweep
hitting the
Run-button
, which is a run/stop toggle.
The buttons will be disabled when conditions or the setup is not ready for measurement,
for example when the VNA is not connected or the measurement is not calibrated yet.
Saving measurements
You can save your measurements. Below is a short overview. More on this in the section
about the
Session Manager
.
The
Save As-button
will save the measurement you just made, including settings and
calibration data to the session list. Be sure to save this session list to hard disk before
closing the program.
The
Save-button
will overwrite the last measurement in the session list.
The
Export-button
will save the measurement data to hard disk in Touch Stone format.
This is a format used by e.g. RF simulation SW.
