7.3.1.1 Analyzing Several Traces - Trace Mode
If several measurement are performed one after the other, or continuous measurement
are performed, the trace mode determines how the data for subsequent traces is pro-
cessed. After each measurement, the trace mode determines whether:
●
The data is frozen (View)
●
The data is hidden (Blank)
●
The data is replaced by new values (Clear Write)
●
The data is replaced selectively (Max Hold, Min Hold, Average)
Each time the trace mode is changed, the selected trace memory is cleared.
The R&S FSPN supports the following trace modes:
If a trace is frozen ( "View" mode), the measurement settings, apart from scaling set-
tings, can be changed without impact on the displayed trace. The fact that the dis-
played trace no longer matches the current measurement settings is indicated by a yel-
low asterisk on the tab label.
If you change any parameters that affect the scaling of the diagram axes, the
R&S FSPN automatically adapts the trace data to the changed display range. This
allows you to zoom into the diagram after the measurement to show details of the
trace.
