Saving a File
You can save files (setups, states, traces, limits, corrections, signal lists, reports, or screens) to a floppy
disk (A:\), or the internal drive (C:\). In this example you will save a trace to the internal C: drive.
Step 1. Set up the analyzer trace
1. Perform a factory preset by pressing Preset, Factory Preset (if present).
2. Turn on the internal 50 MHz alignment signal of the analyzer as follows:
•For the Agilent E7401A, use the internal 50 MHz alignment signal of the analyzer as the signal
being measured. Press
Input/Output, Amptd Ref (On).
• For all other models connect a cable between the front-panel AMPTD REF OUT to the analyzer
INPUT, then press
Input/Output, Amptd Ref Out (On).
3. Set the center frequency to 50 MHz by pressing press
FREQUENCY, Center Freq, 50, MHz.
4. Set the span to 75 MHz by pressing
SPAN, Span, 75, MHz. The reference signal will appear on the
display.
5. Set the resolution bandwidth to 1 MHz by pressing
BW/Avg, Resolution BW, 1, MHz.
6. View trace 1 and put it into maximum hold by pressing
View/Trace, Max Hold. (Trace 1 should
already by underlined, but if not, press
Trace 1 2 3 until 1 is underlined and then press Max Hold.)
Your analyzer display should look similar to Figure 4-3.
