Time Capture (Scans)
Some of the supported analyzers allow you to capture long streams of raw time data and then later replay
the data into a measurement in the instrument. The HP 3566A/3567A, HP 35665A, HP 35670A,
HP 89410A, HP 89440A, and HP 3587S support this capability. The time data in the file is broken up
into scans in the same manner as with waterfalls and maps (see the preceding section). The scan size is
determined by the instrument and is generally related to the number of time points the instrument uses to
generate an FFT in its current measurement.
Figure 2-4. Time Capture Scans
Time Channel and Frequency Correction are generated by all instruments. Overloads are generated by
the HP 3566A/3567A only. Compressed Time, Tach Data, and External Trigger Data are generated by
the HP 3566A/3567A and the HP 35670A.
See Appendix B for more information on Time Capture Files.
