The data related to global settings are not affected by a "Preset" of the analyzer. Some
of them are preset when a new measurement session is started ("session settings"). In
addition, it is possible to reset many of the global settings using the buttons in the "System
Config" dialog.
3.1.2 Recall Sets
A recall set comprises a set of diagrams with all displayed information that can be stored
to a recall set file (*.znx) and reused. Each recall set is displayed in an independent tab.
Tap the tab to change between different recall sets; tap the "+" tab to create a new recall
set.
The recall set file contains the following information:
●
General settings related to the recall set
●
The trace settings for all traces in the diagrams
●
The channel settings for all channels associated to the traces
●
The display settings for each diagram
The "File" menu is used to organize recall sets.
3.1.3 Traces, Channels and Diagrams
The analyzer arranges, displays or stores the measured data in traces which are
assigned to channels and displayed in diagrams. To understand the menu structure of
the instrument and quickly find the appropriate settings, it is important to understand the
exact meaning of the three terms.
●
A trace is a set of data points that can be displayed together in a diagram. The trace
settings specify the mathematical operations used in order to obtain traces from the
measured or stored data and to display them.
●
A channel contains hardware-related settings which specify how the network ana-
lyzer collects data.
●
A diagram is a rectangular portion of the screen which is used to display traces.
Diagrams which belong to the same recall set are arranged in a common window.
The settings for diagrams are described in
chapter 3.2.2, "Display Elements in the
A diagram can contain a practically unlimited number of traces, assigned to different
channels. diagrams and channels are completely independent from each other.
