Misc.
The Miscellaneous tab allows adjustment of the Plot/Limit Line Width, the setting of the
Plot Footer, and the date format.
Plot/Limit Line Width can be used when preparing reports for the carrier, ser-
vice providers, and network operators where the trace data must be visible and
legible for documentation. The line density of the trace can be set to Normal
(Thin Line) or Thick Line to make the data appear easily when copies are
made.
Plot Footer allows selection of information to be displayed in the trace display.
Selections are:
q
Time/Date
q
Impedance
q
Model and Serial Number
q
Measurements
q
Bias Tee
q
DTF Parameters
q
Date Format:
mm/dd/yyy
dd/mm/yyyy
yyyy/mm/dd
NOTE: While all possible selections are displayed, some of these selections ap-
ply only to specific models of Anritsu hand held instruments.
Trace Overlay or Plot Overlay
Trace Overlay is activated by the Mouse Function icon. Single-click on the Mouse Function
icon to toggle. Toggling this icon switches the mouse function between Marker/Limit/Zoom
and Plot Overlaying.
To overlay two plots, click-and-drag from one plot to the other plot. The final display will
be the two plots superimposed on one another.
Refer to the Handheld Software Tools HELP function for more information on the steps
necessary to perform a trace overlay.
Saving Traces
Once the plots are captured to the PC they can be saved as individual files or as a block of
files to a database.
Saving a Plot as a Windows Metafile or to a Spreadsheet
Plots can be saved as a Windows metafile (.wmf), a Handheld Software Tools .dat file, a
text file (.txt) or an .mdb database. The metafile may be imported into graphic programs
and the text file can be imported into a spreadsheet. The .dat and .mdb files are used exclu-
sively by Handheld Software Tools.
To save a plot as a Windows metafile, click on the File menu and select Export to
Metafile from the pull down menu. Once the trace is saved as a metafile, it can be copied
and transferred into other applications as a picture or graphic file.
