Anritsu ML2430A operation manual Source Sweep Mode, 12SOURCE Sweep

SOURCE SWEEP MODE PROCEDURES

	(a) CONNECT points. With this ON (default) the data points are connected with
	vectors to resemble a real time trace. When OFF, the data points are displayed as
	data points only, with no connecting line. This can give a faster display update,
	however, it may be confusing as near vertical lines will have very few points de-
	fined within them.
	(b) If Tracking min/max is selected for the CHANNEL being used for the
	PROFILE, it is possible to configure the tracking min/max to display the min and
	max values for all the data BETWEEN THE CURSORS. This provides easy ac-
	cess to peak values within a time-window; for example, the top of a pulse.
	When set to SINGLE it is updated EACH SWEEP and reflects the min and max
	values only within that sweep.
	When set to INFINITE, it maintains the min/max from the point it is started until it
	is reset, updating the MAX if it sees a HIGHER measurement within the
	CURSOR window, and updating the MIN readout if or when it sees a lower value
	than that which it has already. This option, in the SYSTEM menu, is only a prefer-
	ences option and not the main control for the feature.
	The control for the min/max remains in the CHANNEL menu
	(CHANNELSETUP-more-MIN/MAX RESET). The user should select the way
	he wants to work and leave it. In most cases the SINGLE (default) is the most
	useful as it provides a continuously updated readout of the min and max points
	within the cursor window. The INFINITE setting is used when the results need to
	be collated over a large number of samples. In order to RESET the INFINITE
	configuration, use the CHANNEL menu.
	NOTE
	In the triggered modes, such as Internal A or B and Ex-
	ternal TTL, the SENSORSETUPRange HOLD feature
	can still be applied to restrict dynamic range if required.
5-12SOURCE SWEEP	This feature allows the ML2430A Series Power Meter to be synchronized to an
MODE	RF source using the Horizontal ramp (to Analog Input) output on the RF source.
	The ML2430A Series can also optionally use a Sequential Sync (to Digital Input)
	output on the RF source.
	To enable the Seq Sync input for RF sources that do provide this output (the de-
	fault), set the SystemRear PanelBNCInput Port 1TTL LEVEL to HIGH. This
	way the device will use both the Horizontal Ramp and Seq Sync inputs to sync to
	the sweep.
	To disable the Seq Sync input for RF sources that do not provide this output, set
	the SystemRear PanelBNCInput Port 1TTL LEVEL to LOW. This way the de-
	vice will only use the Horizontal Ramp to sync to the sweep.
