(Write-only) Creates a new trace <tnum> and associates (feeds) a measurement <name> to the specified window<wnum>. This command should be executed immediately after creating a new measurement with CALCulate:MEASure:DEFine.

To feed the same measurement to multiple traces, create another measurement with the same <parameter>, but different <name>, using the CALC:PAR:DEF command. The analyzer will collect the data only once.

<tnum>

Trace number to be created. Choose any Integer between 1 and the VNA maximum number of traces per window allowed.

(Write-only) Creates a new trace <tnum> for an existing measurement (MNUM) and associates (feeds) the measurement number to the specified window<wnum>. A measurement is created using the CALC:MEAS:DEF command.

Measurements created in the system all have unique numbers. Similarly, every window has a unique number and the numbers are displayed in the lower-left corner of each window. Every window has the capacity to hold a finite number of traces from 1 to N, where N is the maximum number of traces per window. Each window uses the same range of trace numbers. For example, window 1 can have a trace 1 and so can window 2.

Parameters

<wnum>

Any existing window number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

<tnum>

Trace number to be created. Choose any Integer between 1 and the VNA maximum number of traces per window allowed.

Note: After executing the DISP:WIND:TRAC:FEED:MNUM command, a new trace is added to the specified window and the trace number of the channel which appears as the Tr annotation on the Trace Status display is the actual measurement number.

<int>

Number of an existing measurement. The range is 1 to 2000.
