Orbit Measurement Setup Fields
With a single exception (i.e., View Signal), orbit setup fields operate as previously
described in the Analyzer Measurement Setup Fields section. Reference this previous
section for details.
View Signal – Because orbit measurements are two channel measurements and you
set the measurement’s Num Channels parameter to CH1 & CH2, View Signals options
relate to those for two channel measurements. From the drop down list, specify the
format in which to display the measured signal. Options are:
Spectrum
Time
Spectrum+Time
Spectrum & Phase
Spectrum+Cross Channel Phase
Orbit (default).
• For orbit displays, select the Orbit option.
Save – If desired, from the measurement setup screen, you may press the Save
function button to save the measurement setup for easy reuse in the future. Reference
Chapter 4, The Analyzer Module section on How to Save, View, and Delete Analyzer
Measurement Results for detailed information on these procedures.
• After you are finished with your measurement setup changes, press the Start
function button to begin the measurement using the new settings. The
measurement is performed and the initial measurement results display.
• Use cursor functions to analyze the measurement.
Average, Stop, Start, View and Save function button options operate as previously
described in the Using the Default Measurement Setup section. Reference this previous
section for details.
