measurement and 
optimize the attenuation 
level and attenuation 
settings suitable for the 
CCDF measurement.

8 Store your current 
measurement trace for 
future reference.
• Press Trace/Detector, Store 
Ref Trace. 
When the power stat CCDF 
measurement is first made, the 
graphical display should show a signal 
typical of pure noise. This is labeled 
Gaussian, and is shown in aqua. Your 
CCDF measurement is displayed as a 
yellow plot. You have stored this 
measurement plot to make for easy 
comparison with subsequent 
measurements. Refer to Figure 9-6.
