Commtest Instruments vb Series User Manual

Section 8: Creating Machines

Creating a Parameter Set
A parameter set is a user-defined group of measurement parameters
that are used to take a measurement. Once a parameter set has
been created in the instrument it will be added to the list in the Select
Parameter Set Menu.
Any parameter set in the list can be selected and used to take
measurements. A point can also have more than one parameter set
applied to any given axes, giving you the flexibility to take multiple
measurements at one location using different parameters.
• Select a direction/axis as described in the previous topic:
Creating a Direction/Axis (page
112).
• From the Select Direction Menu press
to select the
highlighted direction/axis.
If the direction/axis does not have any parameter sets defined, the
Set Parameters Menu will be displayed.
Refer to Setting Spectrum Parameters (page 65) for information on
setting the different parameters.
