In this operating mode, data acquisition is performed once as a realtime measurement,
and the captured data is then evaluated by any number of applications. Thus, a real-
time measurement triggered with a frequency mask can be performed, and the results
can be evaluated in the VSA application, for example, to detect the cause of a fre-
quency exception.
Distinct operating modes
Although the applications themselves are identical in all operating modes, the handling
of the data between applications is not. Thus, the operating mode determines which
applications are available and active. Whenever you change the operating mode, the
currently active measurement channels are closed. The default operating mode is Sig-
nal and Spectrum Analyzer mode; however, the presetting can be changed.

Switching between applications
When you switch to a new application, a set of parameters is passed on from the cur-
rent application to the new one:
●
center frequency and frequency offset
●
reference level and reference level offset
●
attenuation
After initial setup, the parameters for the measurement channel are stored upon exiting
and restored upon re-entering the channel. Thus, you can switch between applications
quickly and easily.
4.1 R&S MultiView
Each application is displayed in a separate tab. An additional tab ("MultiView") pro-
vides an overview of all currently active channels at a glance. In the "MultiView" tab,
each individual window contains its own channel bar with an additional button. Select
this button to switch to the corresponding channel display quickly.
