Changing Trace Allocation

Changing the trace allocation affects the data display on the graph plot. Table below shows the details of each selection:

Allocation

Details

Mixed

Display mixed of commonly measured time domain and S-parameter data

All T

Display all Time Domain data for selected device topology

All S

Display all S-Parameter data for selected device topology

  1. Click the TDR/TDT tab.

  2. Click on the desired trace allocation in Trace Control under Allocation.

Coupling Marker/Time

  1. Click the TDR/TDT tab.

  2. Click on the desired check box in Trace Control under Coupling.

Selecting Marker under Coupling enables all the marker on other traces to be moved in same alignment.

Selecting Time under Coupling enables all other traces using the same X axis (Time).

Copying Trace Setting

  1. Click on the Trace Settings Copy button. Trace Settings Copy dialog box appears.

  2. Select the source trace in the From list. Select the desired destination trace in the To list.

  3. Click on the >> Copy >> button.
