Making Measurements

Using Baseband I/Q Inputs (Option B7C)

Baseband I/Q Key Access Locations

All Baseband I/Q input setup and operation features can be located by using the key access table below. The key access path shows the key sequence you enter to access a particular key.

Some features can only be used when specific measurements are active. If a feature is not currently valid the key label for that feature appears as lighter colored text or is not displayed at all.
