R&S FSL Setting Traces – TRACE Key

S
weep Count
Opens an edit dialog box to enter the number of sweeps used for averaging. Values from 0 to
32767 are allowed. The default setting is 0. The sweep count is applied to all the traces in a
diagram. The sweep count set in the trace menu is the same as that in the sweep menu (for
further details see Sweep Count softkey).
In the continuous sweep mode, the sweep count value determines the trace averaging:
– sweep count = 0: continuous averaging
– sweep count = 1: no averaging
– sweep count > 1: averaging over the selected number of sweeps; in the continuous sweep
mode averaging is performed until the set number of sweeps is attained and is then continued
as continuous averaging (see also "Description of the averaging method" on page 4.41).

Hold/Cont
Switches on or off the reset of the traces in Min Hold, Max Hold and Average mode after some
specific parameter changes have been made. The default setting is off.
Normally, the measurement is started anew after parameter changes, before the measurement
results are evaluated (e.g. using a marker). In all cases that require a new measurement after
parameter changes, the trace is reset automatically to avoid false results (e.g. with span
changes). For applications that require no reset after parameter changes, the automatic reset
can be switched off.

Copy Trace
Opens an edit dialog box to enter the number of the trace memory, in which the currently
selected trace shall be copied.
Remote: TRAC:COPY TRACE1,TRACE2
ASCII File Export
Opens the ASCII File Export Name dialog box and saves the active trace in ASCII format to the
specified file and directory.
The file consists of the header containing important scaling parameters and a data section
containing the trace data. For details on an ASCII file see "ASCII file export format" on page
4.51.
This format can be processed by spreadsheet calculation programs, e.g. MS Excel. It is
necessary to define ';' as a separator for the data import. Different language versions of
evaluation programs may require a different handling of the decimal point. It is therefore possible
to select between separators '.' (decimal point) and ',' (comma) using the Decim Sep softkey.
