9.2.1
Display elements of a VNA diagram
The central part of the screen is occupied by one or more diagrams.
A diagram is simply a rectangular portion of the screen used to display traces. Dia-
grams are independent of trace and channel settings. A diagram can contain a practi-
cally unlimited number of traces which can be assigned to different channels.
Most diagram settings are arranged on the "Diagram" and "Split" tabs of the "Display
Lines" softtool. To assign traces and channels to diagrams, use the control elements
on the Trace > "Traces" and Channel > "Channels" softtool tabs (hardkeys [Trace] and
[Channel]).
Diagrams can contain:
●
A title (optional)
●
The diagram number (or label)
●
Measurement results, in particular traces and marker values (optional)
●
An indication of the basic channel and trace settings
●
Context menus providing settings which are related to a particular display element
The examples in this section have been taken from Cartesian diagrams. All other dia-
gram types provide the same display elements.
