Configure Diagram

The "Configure NRP-Z Analysis" dialog is divided into several sections. The diagram area covers the parameters for scaling the y-axis and the appearance of the diagram.

Min - Max y-Axis - Power Analysis

Selects the minimum and maximum value of the y-axis.

Remote command: 
 
Auto Scale - Power Analysis

Activates autoscaling of the y-axis of the diagram. The "Auto Scale" function adjusts the scale divisions so that the entire trace fits into the diagram area.

"Off"

Auto scale is deactivated. Switching from activated to deactivated, the scaling is maintained.

"Exp. (Course/Fine)"

Auto scale is activated. Automatically selects the appropriate scaling of the y-axis so that the trace is always visible. The range is expanded when a value is out of the right or the left end-of-scale value. The step width is 5 dB for selection "Exp. (Coarse)" and variable in the range of 0.2 db to 5 dB for selection "Exp. (Fine)".

"Flt. (Coarse/Fine)"

Auto scale is activated, that means this parameter automatically selects the appropriate scaling of the y-axis so that the trace is always visible. The range is either expanded, when a value is out of the right/left end-of-scale value or it is reduced when the trace fits into a smaller scale area. The step width is 5 dB for selection "Flt. (Coarse)" and variable in the range of 0.2 db to 5 dB for selection "Flt. (Fine)".

Remote command: 
 
Reset Auto Scale - Power Analysis

Resets the scaling of the y-axis to suitable values after the use of auto scaling in the expanding mode. For this mode, the Y scale can get too expanded because of temporary high power values. The reset function resets the diagram again, to indicate smaller power values.

Remote command: 
 
Grid - Power Analysis

Activates/deactivates the indication of a grid in the diagram area.

Remote command: 
 
Bg Color - Power Analysis

Selects the background color of the diagram, black or white. The background color is also effective for the hardcopy of the diagram.

Remote command: 
 
REARR list - Power Analysis

The "REARR list…" button in the middle section opens the dialog for selection of diagram views. This function provides to activate only the required "Views" on the checkboxes to the right. REARR or STRG+<A> switches between all views that are activated in this dialog.

Viewing modes of frequency power and level sweep timing measurements:
  • "Standard View:" shows the graph and the button bar at the left
  • "Marker View:" shows the graph and the corresponding marker values at the bottom
  • "Full Screen:" shows the graph in fullscreen, and fades out buttons and list values
Viewing modes of time trace and pulse data measurements:
  • "Gate View:" shows the graph with the corresponding gate data
    Gate view provides indicating time trace measurements, as for example the peak envelope power of the RF signal.
    Note: This view is selectable in time mode, since gate measurement is a function of time.
  • "Pulse Data View:" shows the graph and the corresponding pulse data
    Pulse data view indicates pulse data measurement results of the R&S NRP-Z8x sensor family.
    Note: This view is selectable in time mode, since pulse data measurement is a function of time.

Note: The toggle function always switches sequentially between the activated views. When you disable a view that is shown, the instrument automatically switches to the next active view.
At least one view must be active, that means the final active view cannot be switched off.

Remote command: 
 
Gate Mode… - Power Analysis

Opens the dialog for configuring the settings in gate mode, see "Configure Gate Mode". This mode assumes that you are working in measurement mode Measurement Mode - Power Analysis "Time".

Diagram.. - Power Analysis

Returns to the "NRP-Z Analysis Diagram".
