Note
A total of 50,000 measurement values can be displayed on the Poincaré sphere. This limitation
was set in order to save system resources. This limitation affects the maximum trace length. If
more than one PAX1000 is connected, the maximum number of points that can be displayed
on the Poincaré sphere, equal to the maximum trace length, will be shared:
1 PAX1000: max. 50,000 points
2 PAX1000: max. 25,000 points
3 PAX1000: max. 15,000 points
4 PAX1000: max. 12,500 points
5 PAX1000: max. 10,000 points
For any loaded measurement file, a maximum of 1000 most recent points will be displayed on
the Poincaré sphere. However, in the Scope Mode, all measurement data of a loaded file will
be displayed.
Please note also, that in the case of large trace lengths and multiple device operation, the soft-
ware performance may degrade significantly, depending on the computer's resources.
