Measurement Screen

Last Updated: August 29, 2007

The Measurement screen is used to set up measurements and view their results. This topic details some of the features of the Measurement screen.

Accessing the Measurement screen

To access the Measurement screen:

Selecting a measurement

  1. Press the Meas Select key to display the Measurement Selection window.

  1. In the Measurement Selection window select one or more measurements.




    A Results window is displayed for each of the measurements you selected, for example RF Channel Suite Results as shown below.
    Most Result windows have multiple tabs, for example, most of the measurement suites have a summary tab and a tab for each measurement within the suite, and other measurements may have tabs for graphical and numerical results.

Setting up a measurement

To set up the parameters for a specific measurement you must ensure that the Results window for the measurement you want to set up is selected. When it is selected the corresponding measurement setup softkey is displayed. The Setup window may also have multiple tabs as shown below.

The Windows From Other Screens softkey

The Windows From Other Screens softkey is available on the Measurement screen once a measurement is selected. This softkey allows you to display selected windows from other screens on the Measurement screen. Being able to display a window from other screens, on to the Measurement screen is useful when you want to quickly change, for example, an RF Generator parameter, and watch the effect it has on the measurement results.

Depending on which application you are using there may only be one window that can be selected or there may be multiple. Therefore the Windows From Other Screens softkey either displays the other window immediately (when only a single window is available), or a selection window (in instances where there are multiple other windows).
In the instance where there are multiple windows from other screens available, it is only possible to have one of these windows displayed on the Measurement screen at any one time. Therefore if you select another window, then the first window automatically closes. This window also automatically closes if you select to open the measurement setup window.
The windows that can be displayed using the Windows From Other Screens softkey are pre-defined and you cannot change them.

When a window from another screen is displayed on the Measurement screen it has exactly the same appearance and function as on it's own screen. Therefore changing a parameter setting while on the Measurement screen causes exactly the same behavior as if you changed the parameter whilst on it's own screen
