This signal is available as a diagnostic function, to check the operation of the alignment signal in the case of alignment failure. Once selected, a menu accessing the IF alignment signal parameters is available at the bottom of the Input menu. Either CW, comb, or pulse signals may be selected. Because the alignment signal is input at the IF frequency, it is displayed on any active Spectrum Freq Domain window, regardless of center frequency Setting Up Baseband I/Q Inputs I/Q Range Settings by Displayed Unit of MeasureTable I and Q TableI and Q Offset Increment vs. I/Q Range I/Q RangeUsing Baseband I/Q Inputs Option B7C Making MeasurementsChapter Selecting Baseband I/Q Input Impedance Baseband I/Q Measurement Views Spectrum Views and 0 Hz Center FrequencyWaveform Views for Baseband I/Q Inputs RF vs. Baseband I/Q Input Measurement Views, by Comparing RF and Baseband I/Q Measurement ViewsTable MeasurementBaseband I/Q Measurement Result Examples Channel Power MeasurementMaking Measurements Using Baseband I/Q Inputs Option B7CSpectrum Frequency Domain Measurement ChapterFigure 4-19Basic Mode Spectrum Linear View- Baseband I/Q Inputs Waveform Time Domain Measurement Baseband I/Q Key Access Locations Baseband I/Q Key Access LocationsTable Table Baseband I/Q Key Access LocationsUsing Baseband I/Q Inputs Option B7C Making MeasurementsBaseband I/Q - Spectrum I/Q Marker Query BbIQ Programming CommandsCALCulate Subsystem Baseband I/Q - Waveform I/Q Marker QuerySets the amplitude reference level for the y-axis Baseband I/Q - IQ Offset CalibrationDISPlay Subsystem Spectrum - Y-AxisScale/Div Spectrum - Y-AxisReference LevelBaseband I/Q - Select Input Impedance Reference INPut SubsystemBaseband I/Q - Select Input Impedance Baseband I/Q - Activate IQ AlignmentMEASure Subsystem SENSe Subsystem Select the Input Signal Baseband I/Q - Select I/Q Power RangeBaseband I/Q - Select I/Q Voltage Range 5 If You Have a Problem Instrument Messages and Functional Tests documentProblem Symptoms and Solutions Key or Feature Does Not Appear in MenuIf You Have a Problem LAN External Loopback Test Failed - Error MessageInstrument Fails Alignment - Error Message Problem Symptoms and SolutionsInstrument Power-OnProblem LAN Communication ProblemInstrument Keyboard is Locked Support, Services, and Assistance Agilent Technologies Test and MeasurementChapter Returning Your Instrument to Agilent Technologies Table 5-1Contacting AgilentAsia Call Center Numbers Options and Accessories Option BAC: cdmaOne Measurement Personality Options and Measurement PersonalitiesOption BAH: GSM Measurement Personality Option BAE: NADC/PDC Measurement PersonalitiesOption HN1: iDEN Measurement Personality Option BAF: W-CDMAMeasurement PersonalityOption B78: cdma2000 Measurement Personality Option B7C: Baseband IQ Measurement Personality Option 202: EDGE with GSM Measurement PersonalityOption 300: 321.4 MHz IF Output Option 0B1: Additional Copy of ManualsOption 1CM Rack Mount Kit Option 0BV: Component-levelService DocumentationOption 0BW: Assembly-levelService Documentation Option 1CN: Handles KitAC Probe AccessoriesBroadband Preamplifiers and Power Amplifiers GPIB CableModel Number N2714A Calibration and Adjustment SoftwareRS-232Cables DescriptionIndex IndexNumerics Index IndexIndex Indexoff, 140 select, 140 shape, 140 trace, Index stateIndex Index Index
