Get Current Trace

Capture the current trace data from the network analyzer and display in the BenchVue window. Note that this operation captures the current trace data without initiating a new measurement.

Note: Use the "Start" button to trigger a new measurement prior to capturing the trace data.

Note: This bench application supports the "manual" and "external" Trigger sources only. If the instrument is configured for one of the other trigger sources, the bench application will automatically set the source to "manual". The "point" Trigger Mode is not supported with this bench application.

External Triggering With FieldFox Handheld Analyzers: Due to a known firmware issue, if external triggering has been enabled from the analyzer's front panel, the Network Analyzer application will wait for an external trigger to complete a measurement. If you initiate a Screen or Trace capture from the Network Analyzer application and want to stop the capture before the external trigger has been received, you must select Mode Preset from the analyzer's front panel – the "Stop" button from the application will not be recognized.
