Operating Concepts
System Operation
The Microprocessor
A microprocessor takes the raw data and performs all the required error correction, trace math, formatting,
scaling, averaging, and marker operations, according to the instructions from the front panel or over GPIB.
The formatted data is then displayed. The data processing sequence is described in
“Processing” on
page 7-6.
Required Peripheral Equipment
Measurements require calibration standards for vector accuracy enhancement (error-correction), and
cables for interconnections. Model numbers and details of compatible power splitters, calibration kits, and
cables are provided in “Options and Accessories” chapter of the reference guide.
