3.2 Swept SA Measurement
View Size Position
"Gate View On/Off" on page 2686 Half height, full width Bottom
The Gate window is turned on or off by "Gate View On/Off" on page 2686 in the
Trigger menu, or it can be selected from the Data control on the Window Title
dropdown. Turning the Gate window on with the Gate View switch does not modify
the current view the way changing an existing window or adding a window does; it
does not create a starred (modified) view, it merely adds the Gate window and
shows no view as selected in the View menu.
Note that turning on the Gate window with the Gate View switch turns off any of the
other switched windows (Marker Table, Peak Table, Measure at Marker). Also note
that Gate View is unavailable in all views except Normal.
Note that when you are in one of these “switched” views, you cannot create a User
View; the Edit View icon is grayed-out. Note also that when you exit one of these
“switched” views, you are not prompted to save the starred view, because it does
not create a starred view; nor are you prompted to save the view when you leave the
current measurement; and when you return to that measurement, the switch is on
and just adds the window again.
3.2.3 Amplitude
Activates the Amplitude menu and selects Reference Level or Reference Value as
the active function, depending on the measurement.
Some features in this menu apply to multiple measurements. Some other features
apply only to specific measurements and their controls are blanked or grayed-out in
measurements that do not support the feature.
3.2.3.1 Y Scale
Contains controls that pertain to the Y axis parameters of the measurement. These
parameters control how data on the vertical (Y) axis is displayed and control
instrument settings that affect the vertical axis.
Reference Level
Specifies the amplitude represented by the topmost graticule line.
In this measurement, changing the reference level does not restart a measurement,
because it is a display function only. Instead, it vertically ‘pans’ all displayed traces
and markers to the new value. If a change to the reference level changes the
attenuation value (for example, via an auto coupling), then the measurement is
restarted.
