In the Spectrum application, the R&S FSW provides a variety of different measurement
functions.
●
Basic measurements - measure the spectrum of your signal or watch your signal
in time domain
●
Power measurements - calculate the powers involved in modulated carrier signals
●
Emission measurements - detect unwanted signal emission
●
Statistic measurements - evaluate the spectral distribution of the signal
●
Special measurements - provide characteristic values of the signal
●
EMI measurements - detect electromagnetic interference in the signal
The individual functions are described in detail in the following chapters.
The measurement function determines which settings, functions and evaluation meth-
ods are available in the R&S FSW. The various measurement functions are described
in detail here.
When you select a measurement function, the measurement is started with its default
settings immediately and the corresponding measurement configuration menu is dis-
played. The measurement configuration menu can be displayed at any time by press-
ing the [MEAS CONFIG] key.
The easiest way to configure measurements is using the configuration "Overview", see
Chapter 8.1, "Configuration Overview", on page 356.
In addition to the measurement-specific parameters, the general parameters can be
configured as usual, see Chapter 8, "Common Measurement Settings", on page 356.
Many measurement functions provide special result displays or evaluation methods;
however, in most cases the general evaluation methods are also available, see Chap-
ter 9, "Common Analysis and Display Functions", on page 501.
After a preset, and when all other functions are switched off ("All Functions Off" in the
"Select Measurement" dialog) the R&S FSW performs a basic frequency sweep.
The remote commands required to retrieve measurement results are described in
Chapter 14.8.2.4, "Retrieving Trace Results", on page 1141.
