The [
Inst Mode
] menu allows you to select the number of channels for your
measurement. The preset selection is a two-channel measurement, set for
Channel 1 and Channel 2.
The instrument mode and the number of channels affects the way the analyzer
collects input data. (In fact, all the hardkeys in the front panel’s Measurement
Group affect the way the analyzer collects input data.) If you change
something with any of these keys, the analyzer must retake a measurement.
Measurement data
Each of the six instrument modes has its own set of available measurement
data. When you select a type of measurement data, you are instructing the
analyzer to display a particular piece of the measurement data that has already
been acquired. Measurement data is selected with the [
Meas Data
] hardkey
which is part of the front panel’s Display group. If you press a key in this
group, all you are doing is selecting which type of data you want to
display—you are not changing the way the analyzer makes measurements.
The following table shows the measurement data available with each
instrument mode. For more information about this measurement data, see
online help.
