3.2 Measurements
The R&S CMW500 provides several measurements for each of the supported network
standards or general purpose applications. All measurements are controlled in an anal-
ogous way. The following topics describe the principles of measurement control and
measurement results that are similar in many measurement contexts. For a sample ses-
sion refer to chapter 2.3.2, "Measuring an RF Signal", on page 29.
3.2.1 Measurement Control
Measurements can be in the "RUN", "RDY", or "OFF" states. In the default configuration,
all measurements are switched off; no results are available. The measurement state is
shown in the measurement control softkey.
► To turn the measurement on or off, select the measurement control softkey and press
ON | OFF or RESTART | STOP.
The behavior of the measurement control softkey depends on the "Repetition" mode
selected in the configuration dialog:
●
If the measurement is turned on in "Single-Shot" repetition mode, it enters the "RUN"
state and returns to "RDY" as soon as a single-shot result has been acquired.
●
If the measurement is turned on in "Continuous" repetition mode, it remains in the
"RUN" state until it is turned off explicitly using the measurement control softkey or
the front panel keys (ON/OFF or RESTART/STOP).
3.2.2 Connection Control (Measurements)
The R&S CMW500 provides a number of settings that are very similar in different meas-
urements but can be configured independently. These settings control the routing of input
signals, the correction of the input power, the RF analyzer and trigger system.
Signal Routing Settings (Input)
The R&S CMW500 provides several RF connectors at the front panel. The RF input
connector and the RX module to be used are selected in the "RF Routing" section at the
beginning of the measurement configuration dialogs.
