Signal Config Toolbar (6GR)
The toolbar at the top of the Signal Config tab provides these actions:
Preset to Standard - Returns the whole measurement to the default 6GR configuration. See Preset to Standard and Signal Definition Import/Export. Also available from the menu bar as .
Import Signal Definition (.ksd)... - Reconfigures the measurement to match a KSD signal-definition file exported from PathWave Signal Generation (PWSG). Also available as .
Below the toolbar, an import result summary appears after a signal-definition import has run: a one-line summary of what was applied, with the full list of skipped entries and warnings in a collapsed detail area. Skipped entries are expected and normal — see Preset to Standard and Signal Definition Import/Export.
Export Signal Definition (.ksd)... - Writes the measurement's current signal configuration out as a .ksd file. Also available as .
6GR Visualizer... - Opens the 6GR Visualizer, a separate window that draws the signal configuration you have entered as a time-versus-frequency resource grid. See The 6GR Visualizer below.
The 6GR Visualizer
The 6GR Visualizer is a separate application, installed with VSA, that renders the measurement's current signal configuration as an interactive time-versus-frequency resource grid. It shows what you have told the analyzer to expect — component carriers, their downlink and uplink bandwidth parts, and the channels allocated within each bandwidth part (PDSCH Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PUSCH, PDCCH, and the SS block) — laid out over the analysis time span. It is a view of the configuration, not of measured results; use the 6GR trace data for measurement results.
The main use is confirming that a signal definition you entered by hand, or imported from a .ksd file, actually describes the signal you intended before you spend time interpreting demodulation results. Allocation mistakes that are hard to spot in a tree of numeric parameters — a bandwidth part in the wrong place within its carrier, an allocation that does not start where you expected, a channel left disabled — are obvious in the grid.
In the visualizer window you can select which carrier and bandwidth part to display, pan and zoom the grid in time and frequency, choose a time span with the time presets or by dragging the time bar, show and hide individual channel types from the legend, and hover any element for a readout of its parameters.
Refreshing the Visualizer
The button both opens and refreshes. Each click hands the visualizer a snapshot of the configuration as it stands at that moment; the visualizer does not track later parameter edits on its own. If the visualizer is already open, clicking again reloads the new snapshot into that same window and brings it to the front rather than opening a second copy. So the working pattern is: change parameters on the tab, click the button, and the grid redraws to match.
