Data Collection
Note
For best results, collect data and mark a frequency in the spectrum before you run an Analysis Expert.
The Analysis Expert performs a customized acquisition based on the marked frequency and other point
setup information. You are not required to mark a frequency before running an Analysis Expert.
To collect data using an Analysis Expert:
1.
Open Analyze from a route or create a job.
2. Select an Analysis Expert from the Analyze main menu.
3. Press Enter to collect the data.
4. Review the plot of the collected data.
5. Store the data.
