Hardkey/Softkey Reference Key Reference Key Reference This chapter contains information on the following topics: • softkey and front-panel functions in alphabetical order (includes a brief description of each function) • cross reference of programming commands to key functions • cross reference of softkeys to front-panel access keys NOTE 5-2 The SERVICE MENU keys are not included in this chapter. Information on the SERVICE MENU keys can be found in the service guide.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Where to Look for More Information Where to Look for More Information Additional information about many of the topics discussed in this chapter is located in the following areas: • "Making Measurements" in the user’s guide contains step-by-step procedures for making measurements or using particular functions.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions Analyzer Functions This section contains an alphabetical listing of softkey and front-panel functions, and a brief description of each function. . is used to add a decimal point to the number you are entering. − is used to add a minus sign to the number you are entering. is used to step up the current value of the active function. The analyzer defines the step size for different functions. No units terminator is required.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions ∆ MODE MENU goes to the delta marker menu, which is used to read the difference in values between the active marker and a reference marker. ∆ MODE OFF turns off the delta marker mode, so that the values displayed for the active marker are absolute values. ∆ REF = 1 establishes marker 1 as a reference. The active marker stimulus and response values are then shown relative to this delta reference.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions 2.92* 85056K selects the 85056K cal kit. 2.92mm other kits selects the 2.92 mm cal kit model. 3.5mmC 85033C selects the 85033C cal kit. 3.5mmD 85033D/E selects the 85033D or the 85033E cal kit. 4X: [1] [2]/[3] [4] sets up a four-graticule display with channel 2 in the upper right quadrant and channel 3 in the lower left quadrant.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions 2) adds a new frequency band to the Ripple Limit list which is indicated by the pointer >. The new frequency band is a duplicate of the most recently selected frequency band. ADDRESS: 8753 sets the GPIB address of the analyzer, using the entry controls. There is no physical address switch to set in the analyzer. The default GPIB address is 16. ADDRESS: CONTROLLER sets the GPIB address the analyzer will use to communicate with the external controller.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions AUTO FEED ON off turns the plotter auto feed function on or off when in the define plot menu. It turns the printer auto feed on or off when in the define print menu. AUTO SCALE brings the trace data in view on the display with one keystroke. Stimulus values are not affected, only scale and reference values. The analyzer determines the smallest possible scale factor that will put all displayed data onto 80% of the vertical graticule.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions Avg is used to access three different noise reduction techniques: sweep-to-sweep averaging, display smoothing, and variable IF bandwidth. Any or all of these can be used simultaneously. Averaging and smoothing can be set independently for each channel, and the IF bandwidth can be set independently if the stimulus is uncoupled. B measures the absolute power amplitude at input B. B/R calculates and displays the complex ratio of input B to input R.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions BW MARKER on OFF displays the cutoff frequencies of the bandwidth using markers on the data trace. BW TEST on OFF turns bandpass filter bandwidth testing on or off. When bandwidth testing is on, the analyzer locates the maximum point of the data trace and uses it as the reference from which to measure the filter’s bandwidth. Then, the analyzer determines the two cutoff frequencies of the bandpass filter.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions CAL FACTOR accepts a power sensor calibration factor % for the segment. CAL FACTOR SENSOR A brings up the segment modify menu and segment edit (calibration factor menu) which allows you to enter a power sensor's calibration factors. The calibration factor data entered in this menu will be stored for power sensor A. CAL INTERP ON off sets the preset state of interpolated error-correction on or off.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions CAL Z0: SYSTEM Z0 allows you to modify the characteristic impedance of the system for TRL/LRM calibration. CALIBRATE MENU leads to the calibration menu, which provides several accuracy enhancement procedures ranging from a simple frequency response calibration to a full two-port calibration.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions CH4 DATA [ ] brings up the printer color selection menu. The channel 4 data trace default color is blue for color prints. CH4 DATA LIMIT LN selects channel 4 data trace and limit line for display color modification. CH4 MEM selects channel 4 memory trace for display color modification. CH4 MEM [ ] brings up the printer color selection menu. The channel 2 memory trace default color is red for color prints.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions CLEAR BIT when the parallel port is configured for GPIO, 8 output bits can be controlled with this key. When this key is pressed, “TTL OUT BIT NUMBER” becomes the active function. This active function must be entered through the keypad number keys, followed by the x1 key. The bit is cleared when the x1 key is pressed. Entering numbers larger than 7 will result in bit 7 being cleared, and entering numbers lower than 0 will result in bit 0 being cleared.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions CONTINUE SEQUENCE resumes a paused sequence. CONTINUOUS located under the Sweep Setup key, is the standard sweep mode of the analyzer, in which the sweep is triggered automatically and continuously and the trace is updated with each sweep. CONVERSION [ ] brings up the conversion menu which converts the measured data to impedance (Z) or admittance (Y). When a conversion parameter has been defined, it is shown in brackets under the softkey label.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions DATA and MEMORY displays both the current data and memory traces. DATA ARRAY on OFF specifies whether or not to store the error-corrected data on disk with the instrument state. DATA/MEM divides the data by the memory, normalizing the data to the memory, and displays the result. This is useful for ratio comparison of two traces, for instance in measurements of gain or attenuation. DATA - MEM subtracts the memory from the data.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions DEFINE PRINT leads to the define print menu. This menu defines the printer mode (monochrome or color) and the auto-feed state. DEFINE STANDARD makes the standard number the active function, and brings up the define standard menus. The standard number (1 to 8) is an arbitrary reference number used to reference standards while specifying a class. DELAY selects the group delay format, with marker values given in seconds.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions DISK UNIT NUMBER specifies the number of the disk unit in the disk drive that is to be accessed in an external disk store or load routine. This is used in conjunction with the GPIB address of the disk drive, and the volume number, to gain access to a specific area on a disk. The access hierarchy is GPIB address, disk unit number, disk volume number. DISP MKRS ON off displays response and stimulus values for all markers that are turned on.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions DONE 1-PORT CAL finishes one-port calibration (after all standards are measured) and turns error correction on. DONE 2-PORT CAL finishes two-port calibration (after all standards are measured) and turns error correction on (ES only). DONE FWD ENH RESP. finishes the transmission portion of the enhanced response calibration. DONE LOADS finishes all the load standards when the cal kit defines more than one load standard.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions EACH SWEEP Power meter calibration occurs on each sweep. Each measurement point is measured by the power meter, which provides the analyzer with the actual power reading. The analyzer corrects the power level at that point. The number of measurement/correction iterations performed on each point is determined by the NUMBER OF READINGS softkey. This measurement mode sweeps slowly, especially when the measured power is low.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions END SWEEP HIGH PULSE sets the TTL output on TEST SEQ BNC or the test set interconnect to normally high with a 10 microseconds pulse high at the end of each sweep. END SWEEP LOW PULSE sets the TTL output on TEST SEQ BNC or the test set interconnect to normally low with a 10 µs pulse low at the end of each sweep. ENHANCED RESPONSE provides access to the series of menus used to perform an enhanced response calibration. ENH. REFL.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions EXTENSION INPUT B adds electrical delay to the input B reference plane for any B input measurements including S-parameters. EXTENSION PORT 1 extends the reference plane for measurements of S11, S21, and S12. EXTENSION PORT 2 extends the reference plane for measurements of S22, S12, and S21. EXTENSIONS on OFF toggles the reference plane extension mode.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions FIXED MKR STIMULUS changes the stimulus value of the fixed marker. Fixed marker stimulus values can be different for the two channels if the channel markers are uncoupled using the marker mode menu. To read absolute active marker stimulus values following a MKR ZERO operation, the stimulus value can be reset to zero. FIXED MKR VALUE changes the response value of the fixed marker. In a Cartesian format this is the y-axis value.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions FORWARD: OPEN a calibration standard type. FREQ OFFS MENU leads to the frequency offset menu (Option 089 only). FREQ OFFS on OFF switches the frequency offset mode on and off. FREQUENCY specifies the frequency of a calibration factor or loss value in the power meter cal loss/sensor lists. FREQUENCY BAND selects an existing frequency band to be reviewed, edited, or deleted. The maximum number of frequency bands is 12 (numbered 1 to 12).
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions GATE on OFF (Option 010 only) turns gating on or off in time domain mode. GATE: CENTER (Option 010 only) allows you to specify the time at the center of the gate. GATE: SPAN (Option 010 only) allows you to specify the gate periods. GATE: START (Option 010 only) allows you to specify the starting time of the gate. GATE: STOP (Option 010 only) allows you to specify the stopping time of the gate. GATE SHAPE (Option 010 only) leads to the gate shape menu.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions GRATICULE selects the display graticule for color modification. HARMONIC MEAS (Option 002 only) leads to the harmonics menu. Measured harmonics cannot exceed the frequency range of the analyzer receiver. HARMONIC OFF (Option 002 only) turns off the harmonic measurement mode. HARMONIC SECOND (Option 002 only) selects measurement of the second harmonic. HARMONIC THIRD (Option 002 only) selects measurement of the third harmonic.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions IF LOOP COUNTER = 0 prompts the user to select a destination sequence position (SEQUENCE 1 through 6). When the value of the loop counter reaches zero, the sequence in the specified position will run. IF LOOP < > COUNTER 0 prompts the user to select a destination sequence position (SEQUENCE 1 through 6). When the value of the loop counter is no longer zero, the sequence in the specified position will run.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions k/m kilo/milli (103 / 10−3) KIT DONE (MODIFIED) terminates the cal kit modification process, after all standards are defined and all classes are specified. Be sure to save the kit with the SAVE USER KIT softkey, if it is to be used later. LABEL CLASS leads to the label class menu, to give the class a meaningful label for future reference during calibration. LABEL CLASS DONE finishes the label class function and returns to the modify cal kit menu.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions LIMIT TEST on OFF turns limit testing on or off. When limit testing is on, the data is compared with the defined limits at each measured point. Limit tests occur at the end of each sweep, whenever the data is updated, when formatted data is changed, and when limit testing is first turned on. Limit testing is available for both magnitude and phase values in Cartesian formats.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions LIST provides a tabular listing of all the measured data points and their current values, together with limit information if it is turned on. At the same time, the screen menu is presented, to enable hard copy listings and access new pages of the table. 30 lines of data are listed on each page, and the number of pages is determined by the number of measurement points specified in the stimulus menu.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions LO MENU leads to the LO menu. Allows you to configure the external source for frequency offset. LO SOURCE ADDRESS shows the GPIB address of the LO source. LOAD defines the standard type as a load (termination). Loads are assigned a terminal impedance equal to the system characteristic impedance Z0, but delay and loss offsets may still be added. If the load impedance is not Z0, use the arbitrary impedance standard definition.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions LOG MKR displays the logarithmic magnitude value and the phase of the active marker in Polar or Smith chart format. Magnitude values are expressed in dB and phase in degrees. This is useful as a fast method of obtaining a reading of the log magnitude value without changing to log magnitude format. LOOP COUNTER displays the current value of the loop counter and allows you to change the value of the loop counter.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions LOWER LIMIT M/µ sets the lower limit value for the start of the segment in a limit line list. If an upper limit is specified, a lower limit must also be defined. If no lower limit is required for a particular measurement, force the lower limit value out of range (for example −500 dB). mega/micro (106 / 10−6) MAN ’ L THRU on OFF allows the insertion of a different thru during the ECal correction routine.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions MARKER → DELAY adjusts the electrical delay to balance the phase of the DUT. This is performed automatically, regardless of the format and the measurement being made. Enough line length is added to or subtracted from the receiver input to compensate for the phase slope at the active marker position. This effectively flattens the phase trace around the active marker, and can be used to measure electrical length or deviation from linear phase.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions MARKER 2 turns on marker 2 and makes it the active marker. If another marker is present, that marker becomes inactive and is represented on the display as ∆. MARKER 3 turns on marker 3 and makes it the active marker. MARKER 4 turns on marker 4 and makes it the active marker. MARKER 5 turns on marker 5 and makes it the active marker.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions MAXIMUM FREQUENCY is used to: 1) define the highest frequency at which a calibration kit standard can be used during measurement calibration. In waveguide, this is normally the upper cutoff frequency of the standard. or 2) set the maximum frequency of the selected frequency band when setting up ripple test parameters. MAXIMUM RIPPLE sets the maximum ripple allowed of the selected frequency band. The maximum allowable ripple is 100 dB.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions MINIMUM FREQUENCY is used to: 1) define the lowest frequency at which a calibration kit standard can be used during measurement calibration. In waveguide, this must be the lower cutoff frequency of the standard, so that the analyzer can calculate dispersive effects correctly (see OFFSET DELAY ). or 2) set the minimum frequency of the selected frequency band when setting up ripple test parameters.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions MODULE A b selects the module to be used in the ECal operation. Select the module according to frequency range and connector type of the DUT. In some cases the Module B selection will not be used. MODULE INFO presents a text window that contains information about the selected module. MORE RANGES provides access to more power ranges. N 50Ω 85032B/E selects the 85032B/E cal kit. N 50Ω 85032F selects the 85032F cal kit.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions The possible values that can be entered for number of points are 3, 11, 26, 51, 101, 201, 401,801, and 1601. The number of points can be different for the two channels if the stimulus values are uncoupled. In list frequency sweep, the number of points displayed is the total number of frequency points for the defined list (see “Sweep Types” in the “Operating Concepts” chapter of the user’s guide).
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions ONE-PATH 2-PORT leads to the series of menus used to perform a high-accuracy two-port calibration without an S-parameter test set. This calibration procedure effectively removes directivity, source match, load match, isolation, reflection tracking, and transmission tracking errors in one direction only. Isolation correction can be omitted for measurements of devices with limited dynamic range.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions PARALL IN IF BIT H while creating a sequence, this softkey inserts a command to jump to another sequence if the single input selected is in a high state. PARALL IN IF BIT L while creating a sequence, this softkey inserts a command to jump to another sequence if the single input selected is in a low state. PARALLEL sets the printer or plotter port to parallel. PARALLEL [COPY/GPIO] toggles the parallel output port between the copy and GPIO output modes.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions PHASE OFFSET adds or subtracts a phase offset that is constant with frequency (rather than linear). This is independent of MARKER → DELAY and ELECTRICAL DELAY . PHASE (Option 010 only) displays a Cartesian format of the phase portion of the data, measured in degrees. This format displays the phase shift versus frequency.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions PLTR PORT PARALLEL configures the analyzer for a plotter that has a parallel (centronics) interface. PLTR PORT SERIAL configures the analyzer for a plotter that has a serial (RS-232) interface. PLTR TYPE [PLOTTER] selects a pen plotter such as the HP 7440A, HP 7470A, HP 7475A, or HP 7550B as the plotter type.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions This feature may be used to compensate for attenuation non-linearities in either a directional coupler or a power splitter. Up to 12 segments may be entered, each with a different frequency and power loss value. POWER MTR toggles between 436A or 438A/437 . These power meters are GPIB compatible with the analyzer. The model number in the softkey label must match the power meter to be used.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions PRINT ALL MONOCHROME when displaying list values, prints the entire list in monochrome. When displaying operating parameters, prints all but the last page in monochrome. The data is sent to the printer as ASCII text rather than as raster graphics, which causes the printout to be faster. PRINT: COLOR sets the print command to default to a color printer. The printer output is always in the analyzer default color values.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions PWR RANGE AUTO man toggles the power range mode between auto and manual. Auto mode selects the power range based on the power selected. Manual mode limits power entry to within the ±6 to −12 dB selected range. PWRMTR CAL [ ] leads to the power meter calibration menu which provides two types of power meter calibration, continuous (each sweep) and single-sample (one sweep).
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions Re/Im MKR when in the smith marker menu, Re/Im MKR displays the values of the active marker on a Smith chart as a real and imaginary pair. The complex data is separated into its real part and imaginary part. The first marker value given is the real part M cos θ, and the second value is the imaginary part M sin θ, where M = magnitude. When in the polar marker menu, Re/Im MKR displays the values of the active marker as a real and imaginary pair.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions RECALL KEYS MENU provides access to the recall keys menu where specific registers can be recalled. RECALL KEYS on OFF presents the recall keys menu as the initial menu when Save/Recall has been pressed. RECALL REG1 recalls the instrument state saved in register 1. RECALL REG2 recalls the instrument state saved in register 2. RECALL REG3 recalls the instrument state saved in register 3. RECALL REG4 recalls the instrument state saved in register 4.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions REFL STD [0] is located in the ECal service menu. This allows you to select different reflection standards in the ECal module. The number of reflection standards varies with ECal module type. REFLECTION 1-PORT leads to the reflection calibration menu (ET only). In the ECal menu, this softkey performs the reflection 1-port calibration. REMOVE ADAPTER completes the adapter removal procedure, removing the effects of the adapter being used.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions simple response calibration, an isolation standard is required. The standard normally used to correct for isolation is an impedance-matched load (usually 50 or 75 Ωs). Response and directivity calibration procedures for reflection and transmission measurements are provided in the following pages. RESTORE DISPLAY turns off the tabular listing and returns the measurement display to the screen.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions RIPL TEST on OFF turns ripple testing on or off. When ripple testing is on, the analyzer sets the lower ripple limit line at the lowest amplitude point within the frequency band and sets the upper limit line at the user-specified amplitude above. If the trace data remains at or below the upper limit line, that portion of the ripple test passes. If the trace data rises above the upper limit line within the frequency band, the test fails.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions RIPPLE LIM LINES selects ripple limit line trace on the display color modification. RIPPLE LIMIT selects the ripple limit line choice. This selection leads to menus used to define ripple limits or specifications with which to compare a test device. Refer to the “Using Ripple Limits to Test a Device” section in the “Making Measurements” chapter of the user’s guide. ROUND SECONDS resets the seconds counter to zero in real-time clock.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions S22A is used to enter the standard numbers for the first class required for an S22 1-port calibration. (For default cal kits, this is the open.) S22B is used to enter the standard numbers for the second class required for an S22 1-port calibration. (For default cal kits, this is the short.) S22C is used to enter the standard numbers for the third class required for an S22 1-port calibration. (For default kits, this is the load.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions SCALE PLOT [FULL] is the normal scale selection for plotting on blank paper. It includes space for all display annotations such as marker values, stimulus values, etc. The entire display fits within the user-defined boundaries of P1 and P2 on the plotter, while maintaining the exact same aspect ratio as the display.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions SEGMENT POWER enters absolute power values in the swept list table. The power values are restricted to the current power range setting. If port power is uncoupled, power applies to the currently selected port, otherwise it applies to both ports. (The list table only displays one port's power values at time due to limited display area.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions SEQUENCE 6 SEQ6 activates editing mode for the segment titled "SEQ6" (default title). SEQUENCE FILENAMING accesses a file naming menu which is used to automatically increment or decrement the name of a file that is generated by the network analyzer during a SEQUENCE. SERVICE MENU leads to a series of service and test menus described in detail in the service guide. SERVICE MODES a collection of common modes used for troubleshooting.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions SETUP B sets up two-graticule, four-channel display as described in the 4 PARAM HELP KEYS menu. SETUP C sets up single-graticule, four-channel display as described in the 4 PARAM HELP KEYS menu. SETUP D sets up four-graticule, four-channel display as described in the 4 PARAM HELP KEYS menu. Two of the graticules are in Smith chart format with the other two in log format.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions In single segment mode, selecting a measurement calibration will force the full list sweep before prompting for calibration standards. The calibration will then be valid for any single segment. If an instrument state is saved in memory with a single-segment trace, a recall will re-display that segment while also recalling the entire list. SLIDING defines the load as a sliding load.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions SOURCE PWR on OFF use this key to restore power after a power interruption. ON returns the source power to its original setting, while OFF sets the source to the minimum power level of the analyzer. SPACE inserts a space in the title. Span is used, along with the Center key, to define the frequency range of the stimulus. When the Span key is pressed, it becomes the active function.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions STD TYPE: ARBITRARY IMPEDANCE defines the standard type to be a load, but with an arbitrary impedance (different from system Z0). STD TYPE: DELAY/THRU defines the standard type as a transmission line of specified length, for calibrating transmission measurements. STD TYPE: LOAD defines the standard type as a load (termination).
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions STORE SEQ TO DISK presents the store sequence to disk menu with a list of sequences that can be stored. SWEEP is used to set the frequency of the LO source to sweep. SWEEP SETUP provides access to a series of menus which are used to define and control all stimulus functions other than start, stop, center, and span. Operating parameters such as power, sweeptime, trigger condition, and number of points are accessible through this hardkey.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions TALKER/LISTENER is the mode normally used for remote programming of the analyzer. In this mode, the analyzer and all peripheral devices are controlled from the external controller. The controller can command the analyzer to talk, and the plotter or other device to listen. The analyzer and peripheral devices cannot talk directly to each other unless the computer sets up a data path between them.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions TESTSET I/O REV is used to support specialized test sets, such as a test set that measures duplexers. It allows you to set three bits (D1, D2, and D3) to a value of 0 to 7, and outputs it as binary from the rear panel test set connector. It tracks the coupling flag, so if coupling is on, and REV channel 1 is the active channel, REV channel 2 will be set to the same value. TESTS presents the service test menu.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions If the value of the loop counter is zero, then the title number goes in the last point of memory. If the loop counter is greater than or equal to the current number of measurement points, the number is placed in the first point of memory. A data to memory command must be executed before using the title to memory command.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions When tracking is off, the target is found on the current sweep and remains at the same stimulus value regardless of changes in trace response value with subsequent sweeps. A maximum and a minimum point can be tracked simultaneously using two channels and uncoupled markers. TRANS: FWD S21 (B/R) defines the measurement as S21, the complex forward transmission coefficient (magnitude and phase) of the test device.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions UNCOUPLED allows the marker stimulus values to be controlled independently on each channel. UP CONVERTER sends the sum frequency of the RF and LO to the R channel. UPPER LIMIT sets the upper limit value for the start of the segment. If a lower limit is specified, an upper limit must also be defined. If no upper limit is required for a particular measurement, force the upper limit value out of range (for example +500 dB).
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions VELOCITY FACTOR enters the velocity factor used by the analyzer to calculate equivalent electrical length in distance-to-fault measurements using the time domain option. Values entered should be less than 1. Velocity factor is the ratio of the velocity of wave propagation in a coaxial cable to the velocity of wave propagation in free space. Most cables have a relative velocity of about 0.66 the speed in free space.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions WIDTH VALUE is used to set the amplitude parameter (for example 3 dB) that defines the start and stop points for a bandwidth search. The bandwidth search feature analyzes a bandpass or band reject trace and calculates the center point, bandwidth, and Q (quality factor) for the specified bandwidth. Bandwidth units are the units of the current format.
Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions XMIT CNTRL [ ] toggles the PLOTTER/PRINTER serial port data transmit control mode between the Xon-Xoff protocol handshake and the DTR-DSR (data terminal ready-data set ready) hardwire handshake. Y: REFL converts reflection data to its equivalent admittance values. Y: TRANS converts transmission data to its equivalent admittance values. Z: REFL converts reflection data to its equivalent impedance values.

Preset State and Memory Allocation Memory Allocation Memory Allocation The analyzer is capable of saving complete instrument states for later retrieval. It can store these instrument states into the internal memory, to the internal disk, or to an external disk.
Preset State and Memory Allocation Memory Allocation NOTE Even though calibration data is stored in non-volatile memory, if the associated instrument state is not saved, you will not be able to retrieve the calibration data after a power cycle.
Preset State and Memory Allocation Memory Allocation Determining Memory Requirements Table 8-5 shows the memory requirements of calibration arrays and memory trace arrays to help you approximate memory requirements. For example, add the following memory requirements: • a full 2-port calibration with 801 points (58 k) • the memory trace array (4.9 k) • the instrument state (6 k) The total memory requirement is 68.9 kbytes. There is sufficient memory to store 29 calibrations of this type.

Preset State and Memory Allocation Memory Allocation Storing Data to Disk You can use the internal disk drive or connect an external disk drive for storage of instrument states, calibration data, measurement data, and plot files. (Refer to the “Printing, Plotting, and Saving Measurement Results” chapter in the user’s guide for more information on saving measurement data and plot files.) The analyzer displays one file name per stored instrument state when you list the disk directory.

Preset State and Memory Allocation Memory Allocation If correction is on at the time of an external store, the calibration set is stored to disk. (Note that inactive calibrations are not stored to disk.) When an instrument state is loaded into the analyzer from disk, the stimulus and response parameters are restored first. If correction is on for the loaded state, the analyzer will load a calibration set from disk that carries the same title as the one stored for the instrument state.
Preset State and Memory Allocation Memory Allocation Clearing Memory For security reasons, you may have the need to clear the network analyzer’s internal memory. As explained in “Types of Memory and Data Storage” on page 8-12, the internal memory consists of the 2 Mbyte non-volatile CMOS memory and the 4 Mbyte volatile memory (RAM). Clearing the internal memory clears all instrument states and measured data from the network analyzer. To clear the internal memory: 1.

The use of a single, common format will allow data to be more easily moved between instruments and computers.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format The CITIfile Data Format The CITIfile Data Format Description and Overview CITIfile is a standardized data format, used for exchanging data between different computers and instruments. CITIfile is an abbreviation for “Common Instrumentation Transfer and Interchange file”. This standard has been a group effort between instrument designers and designers of computer-aided design programs.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format The CITIfile Data Format A CITIfile Package A typical package is divided into two parts: The first part, the header, is made up of keywords and setup information. The second part, the data, usually consists of one or more arrays of data. Example 1 shows the basic structure of a CITIfile package: Example 1, A CITIfile Package The “header” part CITIFILE A.01.00 NAME MEMORY VAR FREQ MAG 3 DATA S RI The “data” part BEGIN -3.54545E-2, -1.38601E-3 0.23491E-3, -1.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format The CITIfile Data Format A CITIfile package may contain more than one array of data. Arrays of data start after the BEGIN keyword, and the END keyword will follow the last data element in an array. A CITIfile package does not necessarily need to include data arrays; for instance, CITIfile could be used to store the current state of an instrument. In that case the keywords VAR, DATA, BEGIN, and END would not be required.

Understanding the CITIfile Data Format CITIfile Keywords CITIfile Keywords Keyword Explanation and Examples CITIFILE CITIFILE A.01.01 identifies the file as a CITIfile, and indicates the revision level of the file. The CITIfile keyword and revision code must precede any other keywords. The CITIfile keyword at the beginning of the package assures the device reading the file that the data that follows is in the CITIfile format. The revision number allows for future extensions of the CITIfile standard.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format CITIfile Keywords SEG_LIST_BEGIN SEG_LIST_BEGIN indicates that a list of segments for the independent variable follow. Format for the segments is: [segment type] [start] [stop] [number of points]. The current implementation only supports a single segment. If there is more than one segment, the VAR_LIST_BEGIN construct is used. CITIfile revision A.01.00 supports only the SEG (linear segment) segment type.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format CITIfile Keywords CONSTANT CONSTANT [name] [value] allows for the recording of values which don’t change when the independent variable changes. CONSTANTs are part of the main CITIfile definition. Users must not define their own CONSTANTs. Use the #KEYWORD device specification to create your own KEYWORD instead. The #NA device specification is an example of this. No constants were defined for revision A.01.00 of CITIfile. CITIfile revision A.01.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format Useful Calculations Useful Calculations This section contains information on computing frequency points and expressing CITIfile data in other data formats. Computing Frequency Points In CITIfile, the frequency data is not listed point by point, only the start and stop values are given. If you are using a spreadsheet program, you can create a new frequency column to the left of the data pairs.
Understanding the CITIfile Data Format Useful Calculations Expressing CITIfile Data in Other Data Formats CITIfile data is represented in real and imaginary pairs. Equations can be used to express this information in logarithmic magnitude, phase, polar, and Smith chart formats. Refer to the following table for these equations.

10 Determining System Measurement Uncertainties 10-1
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Introduction Introduction In any measurement, certain measurement errors associated with the system add uncertainty to the measured results. This uncertainty defines how accurately a device under test (DUT) can be measured. This chapter describes how the various network analyzer measurement error sources contribute to uncertainties in the magnitude and phase measurements of both transmission and reflection.
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Sources of Measurement Errors Sources of Measurement Errors Measurement errors are made up of systematic errors, random errors, and drift errors. Each of these measurement error types is discussed in this section. Sources of Systematic Errors The residual (after measurement calibration) systematic errors result from imperfections in the calibration standards. All measurements are affected by dynamic accuracy.
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Sources of Measurement Errors Sources of Random Errors The random error sources are noise, connector repeatability and interconnecting cable stability. There are two types of noise in any measurement system: low level noise (noise floor) and high level noise (trace noise). Low level noise is the broadband noise floor of the receiver which can be reduced through averaging or by changing the IF bandwidth.
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Determining Expected System Performance Determining Expected System Performance Improper connection techniques and contact surfaces can degrade measurement accuracy. Proper connection techniques include using a torque wrench with proper torque limits, ensuring that the connector pin depths meet specifications, ensuring that the center conductor of sliding loads is properly set, and observing proper handling procedures for beadless airlines.
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Determining Cable Stability Terms (CR1, CR2, CTM1, CTM2, CTP1, CTP2) Determining Cable Stability Terms (CR1, CR2, CTM1, CTM2, CTP1, CTP2) Cable stability is dependent on the cable used and the amount of cable movement between calibration and measurement.
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Determining Cable Stability Terms (CR1, CR2, CTM1, CTM2, CTP1, CTP2) Figure 10-2 Cable Stability with a Short Connected Figure 10-2 and Figure 10-3 demonstrate the concepts useful in determining cable transmission stability. A short is connected to the free end. The DATA/MEM feature provides an indication of the two-way cable transmission stability.
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Measurement Uncertainty Equations Measurement Uncertainty Equations Any measurement result is the vector sum of the actual test device response plus all error terms. The precise effect of each error term depends on its magnitude and phase relationship to the actual test device response. When the phase of an error response is not known, phase is assumed to be worst case (–l80° to +180°). Forward Reflection Uncertainty Equation 10-1.
