The User Define Parameter allows you to create the user custom parameter. You can define the parameter other than the pre-defined parameter. In addition, if you use this with the BIN sorting function, the user defined parameter can be compared with the limit.
Press Prmtr > Define User Formats... to display the User Format dialog box.
Define the label, equation and unit.
Define the label of user parameter. To display special characters such as θ (theta), you can use the character map.
The following function can be used for the equation.

Impedance in complex |
z2(point) |
Impedance in complex at specified measurement point in the same table. This function allows you to compare the result between different measurement points. The last measurement result at the specified point is returned. (If the specified test is not measured in the sweep, the result in a previous sweep is returned.) "NaN" is displayed when the specified measurement point has no data (not measured yet). 0 is returned when the specified measurement point is not defined in the table. Example Usage: z2(1) [Impedance at the first measurement point] (im(z2(1)) / (2 * pi() * freq2(1))) / (im(z2(2)) / (2 * pi() * freq2(2))) [Inductance measurement result ratio of the first and second points] |

freq2(point) |
Frequency in Hz at specified test measurement in the same table 0 is returned when the specified measurement point is not defined in the table. |

Define the unit of user parameter up to 4 letters or characters. To display the special character such as Ω (ohm), you can use the character map.
Use the Character Map to show special characters. An example procedure to show the symbol of Ω (ohm) is as follows.
Check Advanced View box. (a)
Select Unicode as Character set, then type 2126 in Go to Unicode. (b)
The symbol of Ω is displayed at the upper-left corner. (c)
Click Select and then Copy button. (d)
Select desired cell and paste the character. (e)
