Anritsu ML2430A operation manual Power vs. Time Source sweep

OPERATION SYSTEM MENU

NOTE

Useful for tracking peak levels over a pe- riod of time, or detect- ing glitches.

DATA HOLD [GRPIX]

This selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from NORMAL, Min&Max, Min, or Max.

NOTE

If either Min&Max, Min, or Max is selected, the display will keep the “old” data and may appear stationary. The DATA HOLD mode in use is displayed on the left of the screen, below the middle value of the y axis.

With Min & Max selected, the minimum and maximum points for each sample are shown. If Connect Points is ON (default) (SYSTEMGraphicsCONNECT), a vertical bar is drawn between these points. See CLEAR, under CONTROL to restart the process.

Min displays only the minimum for this sample position until reset by returning to NORMAL.

Max displays only the maximum for this sample position until reset by returning to NORMAL.

Power vs. Time

Source sweep

This soft key becomes available when the SystemSetupMODE is set to Power vs. Time mode. Power vs. Time mode displays measurements in a chart-like for- mat showing history over a period of time. The measurements displayed are taken under the conditions of the Readout mode, and can therefore include all triggering and correction settings set up in that mode.

Power vs. Time operation mode includes the following display control:

CHANNEL	Select Channel 1 or Channel 2. The channel selected will be dis-
[GRMD]	played on the left of the screen, above the middle value of the y
	axis.
DATA HOLD	Selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from
[GRPIX]	NORMAL, AVG, Min&Max, Min, or Max.
TIME	Sets the data hold time, from 1 minute to 24 hours.
[GRDDT]

This soft key becomes available when the SystemSetupMODE is set to Source Sweep. The Source Sweep mode provides interconnection between a signal source/generator and the power meter. Using simple techniques, this can provide swept power-accurate measurements over any frequency range at very high speed. The sweep data is available over GPIB and can provide a simple low cost scalar analyzer function.
