Agilent 8753ET/ES Supplemental Characteristics (continued)

Trace Functions

Display data

Display current measurement data, memory data, or current measurement with measurement and memory data simultaneously.

Trace math

Vector division or subtraction of current linear measurement values and memory data.

Display annotations

Start/stop, center/span, or CW frequency, source level, scale/div, reference level, marker data, softkey functions, warning and caution messages, trace identification, and pass/fail indication.

Autoscale

Automatically selects scale resolution and refer- ence value to center the trace.

Electrical delay

Offset measured phase or group delay by a defined amount of electrical delay, in seconds.

Frequency blanking

Blank out all frequency information on the display. Requires an instrument preset to re-enable frequency information on the display.

Title

Add custom titles (49 characters maximum) to the display.

Adjust display

Customize the color and brightness of the data traces, memory traces, reference lines, graticules, text, and warning messages. Default colors can be recalled along with one set of user-defined display values.

Storage

Instrument state

Up to 31 instrument states can be stored internally or recalled via the SAVE/RECALL menu. Instrument states include all control settings, active limit lines, active list frequency tables, memory trace data, active calibration coefficients, and custom display titles. Storage is in nonvolatile memory.

Test sequences

Six measurement sequences can be stored or recalled via the sequencing menu. Sequences may also be recalled from Preset menu. Sequence reg- ister 6 is part of nonvolatile storage and is not erased during a power cycle. If sequence 6 is titled AUTO, it will be executed when power is turned on.

Disk drive

Data, instrument states, user graphics, data plots and test sequences can be stored on internal floppy disk in MS-DOS® or Agilent’s standard LIF formats.

Data Hardcopy

Data plotting

Hardcopy plots are automatically produced with HP-GL compatible digital plotters. The 8753ET/ES provides Centronics, RS-232C, and GPIB interfaces.

Data listings

Printouts of instrument data are directly produced with a printer such as the HP DeskJet or LaserJet. Select black & white or color print. For a list of compatible printers, consult our printer compati- bility guide Web page at www.agilent.com/find/pcg

Configure plots

Configure plots completely from the network ana- lyzer by defining pen color and line type for data, text markers, graticules, and memory traces.

Functions

Plot trace(s), graticule(s), marker(s), or text includ- ing operating and system parameters.

Quadrants

Plot entire display in one of four different quad- rants of the plotter paper.

System Capabilities

Limit lines

Define test limit lines that appear on the display for go/no go testing. Lines may be any combination of horizontal, sloping lines, or discrete data points. Limit-test TTL output available for external control or indication.

External source mode

The receiver (input R) detects and phase-locks to any externally generated CW signal. Receiver inputs A and B will measure this same frequency for comparison or tracking measurements.

Automatic: The input signal frequency is counted and displayed.

Manual: Measures the input signal closest to the fre- quency specified by the user (within +0.5 to +5 MHz).

Tuned receiver

Tunes the receiver for a synthesized CW input signal at a precisely specified frequency. The time bases of the external RF source or sources must be tied to the external reference input (rear panel BNC). The built-in RF source is not used.
