Overview
The E5071C allows you to use up to 160 channels (when the number of
traces is up to 9) to perform measurement under 160 different stimulus
conditions.
For each channel, up to 4, 6, 9, 12 or 16 traces (measurement
parameters) can be displayed. Because multiple traces can be displayed for
each channel, no feature is provided to link the stimulus conditions
between channels, and each channel is always independent of the others.
In other words, for the E5071C, you need to set the measurement
conditions and execute calibration for each channel you use for
measurement.
With the E5071C, you can change the number of available channels and
the upper limit of the number of traces. If you change the upper limit
setting, you need to restart the firmware of the E5071C. Therefore, first,
set the upper limit appropriately depending on the numbers of channels
and traces necessary for your measurement.
When you set items whose setting target is channels/traces (refer to
Parameter setting for each setup item), the target is the selected (active)
channel/trace. You can specify only the displayed channels/traces as active
channels/traces. Therefore, set the display of channels/traces before
setting the measurement conditions.
Setting Upper Limit of Number of Channels/Traces
You can select the upper limits of the number of channels and the number
of traces from the following combinations.
