Setting up Markers
Markers can be manually generated by pressing the Mark button on the front panel of the IQC5000.
For precision markers, TTL-level marker source(s) can be attached
to Marker 1 and/or Marker 2 on the rear of the
IQC5000. A marker will be inserted into the .xmrk marker file of the recording when there is a rising, falling, or both
rising and falling edge signal. Set the edge detection under Marker Input.
Naming and Describing the Recording
To the right of the Record/Playback drop down is the File Name text box.
If you wish to provide a description about the rec
ording, enter up to 512 characters into the Recording Comments
box. Information such as RF modulation type, spectral behavior, or recording location (if a GPS signal is not
connected) may be worth entering for future notice.
The option Auto-Increment File Name will append a number to the e
n
d of the File Name when a recording has been
completed, and increment it, readying the next file name for the next recording. This makes multiple recordings
within a short period of time a smoother process.
Starting/Stopping Record
To start a recording, the spectrum analyzer must first be armed by clicking Arm.
