2 Introduction and Measurement
Introducing the GUI
The graphical user interface (GUI) gives the user instant access to all
measurement functions, making it easy to configure a system and define or
initiate measurements. The most frequently used functions are displayed as
icons on a toolbar, allowing quick and easy access to the measurement
information.
The forms-based graphical interaction helps you define your measurement
quickly and easily. Each form tab is labeled with its content, preventing you
from getting lost in the defining process.
The system provides three default segment tables. To obtain a quick look at
your data, select the “fast” quality level. If it is important to have more
frequency resolution to separate spurious signals, use the “normal” and “high
resolution” quality levels. If you need to customize the offset range beyond the
defaults provided, tailor the measurement segment tables to meet your needs
and save them as a custom selection.
You can place up to nine markers on the data trace that can be plotted with the
measured data.
Other features include:
• Plotting data without spurs
• Tabular listing of spurs
• Plotting in alternate bandwidths
• Parameter summary
• Color printouts to any supported color printer
Figure 3 on page 33 shows an example of the GUI.
