Trace Settings
The trace settings specify the mathematical operations used in order to obtain traces from the
measured or stored data. They can be divided into several main groups:
• Selection of the measured quantity (S-parameters, wave quantities, ratios, impedances,...)
• Conversion into the appropriate display format and selection of the diagram type
• Scaling of the diagram and selection of the traces associated to the same channel
• Readout and search of particular values on the trace by means of markers
• Limit check
The Trace menu provides all trace settings. They complement the definitions of the Channel menu.
Each trace is assigned to a channel. The channel settings apply to all traces assigned to the channel.
Channel Settings
A channel contains hardware-related settings to specify how the network analyzer collects data. The
channel settings can be divided into three main groups:
• Control of the measurement process (Sweep, Trigger, Average)
• Description of the test setup (Power of the internal source, IF filter Bandwidth and Step
Attenuators, Port Configuration)
• Correction data (Calibration, Offset)
The Channel menu provides all channel settings.
