The following selections appear in Uncertainty Manager under the Plot menu:
Note: Plot settings are NOT saved with a workspace (*.ml4) file.
This choice can also be made by clicking Plot, then Plot Data, then select a parameter. A parameter is available when the selected Uncertainty Item has data to plot. For example, Standard is available when a standard is selected on the Cal Kit Editor tab. Click one of the selections, then click OK to plot the data. Learn more about Standards, Port Noise, or Cable Repeatability data. |
This dialog is available ONLY when plotting Cal Kit standard data. Allows you to plot the uncertainty associated with the selected standard data. Trace TypeNormal - Display the trace without uncertainties. UMax – Display the trace as the uncertainty maximum (measured or memory data PLUS upper limit uncertainty values). UMin - Display the trace as the uncertainty minimum (measured or memory data MINUS lower limit uncertainty values). UBars – Display the uncertainties as “error bars” around the trace. Shade – Display the uncertainties as a shaded region around the trace. Ellipse – Display the uncertainties in ellipse form. Supported ONLY in Smith Chart or Polar display format.
Coverage Factor - Sets the level of confidence used in computing the specified measurement uncertainties. The higher the coverage factor, the higher the confidence that the computed uncertainty region includes the "true" measured data. |

This dialog is available ONLY when plotting Cal Kit standard data. This dialog is used to set the frequencies for plotting Cal Kit standards.
Simulation Frequencies - Shows the current list of frequencies. To add or remove a few frequencies:Insert frequencies - To add frequencies, enter a value in GHz, then click << Remove - To remove frequencies, select the value, then click remove. To quickly replace the values with a evenly-spaced step size/data points:
Store - Saves the frequency list to a text file. Retrieve - Loads the frequency list from a text file. |
Noise or Repeatability characterization data can be stored in Uncertainty Manager memory, then math can be performed on the Data vs. Memory.
To show this dialog, first plot data, then click Plot, then Memory.
Memory dialog box help |
Selection - Choose a memory location, then click Data => Memory. The current characterization data can be stored in up to 6 memory locations. View - Select one or more of the following:
Math - Select one of the following math operations to perform on the Data and Memory location. Learn about Data Math operations. |
To show this dialog, first plot data, then click Plot, then Marker. You can add up to 4 markers for each trace.
|
To show this dialog, first plot data, then click Plot, then Labels and Colors. Application Look - Select a color scheme for the entire Uncertainty Manager workspace. Legend On - Check to show the legend on the current plot. Titles On - Check to show Titles on the current plot. Set Plot Titles - Starts a dialog that allows you to change all of the titles for the current plot. Copy Plot to Clipboard - Copies an image of the current plot. You can then paste it into a word processing or image editing software.
