3.6.2 Detailed Programming Examples
In the following sections, typical programming examples for setting measurement
parameters and functions, general settings, printout and data management are provi-
ded.
3.6.2.1 Default Setting of the R&S ESR
The following settings provide typical examples of how to change the default setting of
the R&S ESR.
Note that only some of the settings are necessary depending on the application exam-
ple. In many cases, it is not necessary to set resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth
and sweep time since these parameters are automatically calculated in the default set-
ting when the span is changed. Likewise, the input attenuation is automatically calcula-
ted in the default setting as a function of the reference level. Last of all, the level detec-
tors are linked to the selected trace mode in the default setting.
The settings automatically calculated in the default setting are indicated with an aster-
isk (*) in the following program example.
