Setting the Number of Traces

When you set the number of traces, that setting determines the upper limit trace number; for example, if the setting is 3, traces 1 through 3 are displayed. To set the number of traces, use the following command:

:CALC<ch>:PAR:COUN

• Only the currently displayed traces can be active traces. Therefore, you must set the number of traces appropriately before making them active.

Selecting Measurement Parameters

To select the measurement parameter (S parameter) for each trace, use the following command:

:CALC<ch>:PAR(tr):DEF

Setting Sweep Condition (Stimulus)

To select one of the above sweep types, use the following command:

:SENS<ch>:SWE:TYPE

Turning ON/OFF stimulus signal output

To turn ON/OFF the stimulus signal output, use the following command:

:OUTP

Configuring linear/log sweep settings

To set the sweep range, use the following commands:

To set the number of measurement points, use the following command:

:SENS<ch>:SWE:POIN

To set the sweep time, use the following commands:

To set the sweep delay time, use the following command:

:SENS<ch>:SWE:DEL

To set the IF bandwidth, use the one of the following commands (both provide the same function):

:SENS<ch>:BAND

:SENS<ch>:BWID

To set the AUTO IF bandwidth, use the following command:

:SENS<ch>:BWA

Setting power level

To set the power level, use the following command:

:SOUR<ch>:POW

To select whether to output the same power level (the set value for port 1) or a different power level for each port, use the following command:

:SOUR<ch>:POW:PORT:COUP

:SOUR<ch>:POW:PORT<pt>

Configuring segment sweep settings

When you opt to use segment sweep, you can set all items (in the segment sweep table) by using a single command:

:SENS<ch>:SEGM:DATA

Alternatively, you can configure the segment sweep settings based on the data contained in a CSV file by issuing the following command:

:MMEM:LOAD:SEGM

Also, you can save the contents of the current segment sweep table to a file by issuing the following command:

:MMEM:STOR:SEGM

For more information on how to save and load the segment sweep table, refer to Saving and recalling the segment sweep table.

Configuring Averaging Settings

To configure the averaging settings, use the following commands:

For averaging, normally, the instrument must be triggered according to the number of averaging; however, when the averaging trigger is turned ON, sweeps for the number of averaging can be executed by a single trigger. For details on the averaging trigger, refer to Averaging Trigger Function.

Setting the System Z0

To set the system characteristic impedance (Z0), use the following command:

:SENS:CORR:IMP
