IQC 5000B Operation Manual

Basic Modes
1. Manual Record
The IQC5000 default record mode is Manual Record. Select the option
Manual in the Recording
Configuration pane. Then click the Record/Stop button after the spectrum analyzer has been armed to
manually start the recording, and once again to stop the recording.
2. Duration Record
There are 2 types of Duration Record: Timed and Sample Length. Basic
timed recordings are manually
started and set to complete after the specified amount of time has elapsed. Basic sample length
recordings are manually started and set to complete after the specified amount of samples has been
recorded.
Select the option Duration in the Recording Configuration pane. To specify time, use units ns, us, ms, M,
or H (nanoseconds, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes or hours). To specify a sample length,
enter the amount of samples without units to record.
Advanced Modes
To access the advanced recording se
t
tings, select Advanced and then Configure Recording in the Recording
Configuration pane. There are 4 advanced recording tabs.
The Start tab lists the available methods to start a recording, and the St
op tab lists the available methods to stop a
recording. There is one additional method on the Stop tab that is not available on the Start tab: Duration. (This is
because a recording cannot logically be started on a duration, but instead commences and ends after a specified
duration.)
The Start Trigger tab contains the trig
g
er settings that are used if Trigger is selected as the Start option. The Stop
Trigger tab contains the trigger settings that are used if Trigger is selected as the Stop option. There are no
differences between the options available for start trigger and stop trigger.
