The measurement comprises the following THREE steps.

Step 1: Layout Templates

You are able to select a layout template for typical measurements.

If "Create in new channel" checkbox is enabled, a new channel and window(s) will be created.

If "Create in new channel" checkbox is disabled, when a template is selected then the active channel will be used for the new measurements. If the active trace is displayed in a window with traces on other channels, then the trace will be deleted and a new window(s) will be opened for the new measurements.

If "Display Smith Chart" checkbox is enabled, the active trace in a window will turn to display Smith Chart.

If "Display Smith Chart" checkbox is disabled, no changes on the active trace in a window.
