Measurements Dialog Box

The Measurements dialog is used to configure and manage the measurements in a multi-measurment configuration. A multi-measurement configuration consists of Acquisition Mode, the measurements, the Measurement Type selections, the Analyzer Configuration selections, and how the input hardware and/or input data is shared between the measurements.

To learn more about multi-measurements, see Multi-Measurement Overview.
There are several multi-measurement demo videos, see Video Library (online).
To learn more about how to create and use Analyzer Configurations, see the New Hardware Configuration Dialog topic.

Available Properties and Controls

Measurement Groups

There are three types of multi-measurement groupings in the Measurements dialog: Shared, Independent, and Sequenced. Shared and Independent groupings are shown when you are using the Synchronous Acquisition Mode, whereas Sequenced groupings are shown when you are using the Sequenced Acquisition Mode.

In Synchronous Acquisition Mode, each group of runnable shared measurements is named according to the Analyzer Configuration name they share for easy identification. A Spectrum Map provides a graphical representation of the multi-measurement spectral usage information; see Spectrum Map for more information. There can be multiple groups of shared measurements, each shared to a different Analyzer Configuration. All other runnable measurements are grouped into an Independent (i.e. not shared) group.

In Sequenced Acquisition Mode, all runnable measurements are grouped into a single Sequenced grouping.

For more information, see Runnable and Not Runnable Measurements or Spectrum Map.

Runnable and Not-Runnable Measurements

Measurements are also placed into either the Runnable or Not Runnable measurement section. A measurement is categorized as Runnable or Not Runnable based on Acquisition Mode and hardware conflicts. For more information see Runnable and Not-Runnable Measurements topic.

For more information, see Runnable and Not-Runnable Measurements,

Multi-Measurement Control Toolbar

The Multi-Measurement Controls Toolbar, located at the top of the Runnable measurements group box, provides measurement control for all measurements in the Runnable measurement group. For more information, see Multi-Measurement Control Toolbar
