Configuring Measurement Conditions
Setting the Number of Traces
When you set the number of traces, that setting determines the upper limit trace number;
for example, if the setting is 3, traces 1 through 3 will be displayed. To set the number of
traces, use the following command:
• :CALC{1-4}:PAR:COUN on page 284
NOTE Only the currently displayed traces can be an active trace. Therefore, you must set the
number of traces appropriately before you can make them active.
Selecting Measurement Parameters
To select the measurement parameter (S parameter) for each trace, use the following
command:
• :CALC{1-4}:PAR{1-4}:DEF on page 285
Setting the Sweep Condition (Stimulus)
How you can set the sweep condition depends on the sweep type. You can choose between
the following four sweep types:
• Liner sweep
• Log sweep
• Segment sweep
• Power sweep
To select one of the above sweep types, use the following command:
• :SENS{1-4}:SWE:TYPE on page 428
Turning On/Off of Stimulus Signal Output
To turn on/off the stimulus signal output, use the following commands. For example, if the
power output is automatically turned off due to the power trip feature, remove the cause of
the overinput and turn on the stimulus signal output by executing the following command.
You cannot perform measurement until you turn on the stimulus signal output.
• :OUTP on page 365
Configuring Linear Sweep Settings
To set the sweep range, use the following commands:
Start value :SENS{1-4}:FREQ:STAR on page 418
Stop value :SENS{1-4}:FREQ:STOP on page 419
Center value :SENS{1-4}:FREQ:CENT on page 415
