3.8 SEM Measurement

Command

:TRACe[1]|2|…|6:TYPE?

For all other measurements:

:TRACe[1]|2|3:<meas>:TYPE?

where <meas> is the identifier for the current measurement

Example

:TRAC:TYPE WRIT

:TRAC:TYPE?

Couplings Selecting a Trace Type (by pressing any of the Trace Type selections or sending :TRAC:TYPE) sets

the Trace to Active (Update: ON, Display: OFF), even if the same trace type was already selected

When Detector setting is “Auto” ([:SENSe]:<meas>:DETector:AUTO?), Detector

([:SENSe]:<meas>:DETector[:FUNCtion]?) switches aligning with the switch of this

parameter: “NORMal” with WRITe (Clear Write), “AVERage” with AVERage, “POSitive (peak)”

with MAXHold, and “NEGative (peak)” with MINHold

Preset Swept SA and Monitor Spectrum: WRITe

All other measurements: AVERage

Following Preset, all traces are cleared (all trace points set to mintracevalue)

State Saved The type of each trace is saved in instrument state

Annunciation The type for each trace is indicated in the Trace annunciator panel on the Measurement Bar

Trace Mode Backwards Compatibility Commands

In earlier instruments, the “Trace Modes” were: Clear/Write, Max Hold, Min Hold,

View and Blank. Averaging was global to all traces and was controlled under the

BW/Avg menu.

In X-Series, trace averaging can be done on a per-trace basis. The Trace Modes

(now called Trace Types) are Clear/Write, Trace Average, Max Hold and Min Hold.

View and Blank are set separately under "View/Blank" on page 1736.

While this provides more flexibility, it also gives rise to potential backwards

compatibility problems. To mitigate these, the old Trace Mode command has been

retained and a new Trace Type command has been added. The :TRACe:MODE

command is retained for backwards compatibility, and the :TRACe:TYPE,

:TRACe:UPDate and :TRACe:DISPlay commands introduced for ongoing use. The

old Trace Modes are selected using :TRAC:MODE, whose parameters are mapped

into calls to :TRACe:TYPE, :TRACe:UPDate and :TRACe:DISPlay, and the old

global Averaging command [:SENSe]:AVERage[:STATe] is provided for

backwards compatibility. See the individual command descriptions for details.

When Average/Hold in the Meas Setup, Legacy Compatibility menu is ON, the

following is true for traces in Max Hold and Min Hold:
