6.4 Data Source
Contains controls that let you select the source of the data being fed to the
instrument analysis engine.
The ability to Save and Record files of I/Q data is an important feature of some X-
Series applications, and the Data Source controls allow you to switch back and forth
from actual data at the instrument input and recorded data from a File.
In addition, some measurements allow you to retain a single measurement record in
a Capture Buffer, and some measurements allow you to retain a specified length
data record internally in a Recorded data area.
So, for measurements that support it, the controls on this tab allow you to select
data from the instrument inputs, a recalled recording File, the Capture Buffer, or the
Recorded data area. For measurements that do not support these features, the Data
Source tab does not appear, and if :FEED:DATA SCPI is sent, an Undefined Header
error is generated.
The available choices depend on which measurement you are running. All
measurements support Input; Capture Buffer and File are only available in certain
measurements, as shown in the table below. The choice of the internal Recorded
data area is only available in Pulse Mode.
