The instrument settings that are unique to each trace are summarized in an
information block on the left side of the measurement display screen (refer to item 1 in
Figure 2-6). Each block contains the trace number followed by the S-parameter that is
assigned to that trace (TR4: S22, for example). If the trace has Trace Math applied to
it, then the math function is also displayed on that line (TR1: S11/M1, for example),
where M1 is the memory that is associated with TR1, and the math function is
Trace/Memory). The S-parameter that is assigned to the trace memory is shown (if
enabled) at the top of each trace information block (M1: S11, for example). Each trace
block also includes the Graph type, the smoothing percentage, the calibration status,
and the scale (Resolution per Division and the Reference Value). The calibration status
indicates whether the calibration is ON, OFF, or non-existent (--) for the specific
S-parameter that is assigned to each trace. If the Calibration is ON, then its validity is
also displayed (OK,?, or X).
