Instrument Overview Instrument Operation

3-4 Instrument Operation

Changing Setups

When a parameter is changed via the front panel, or a message is received containing new setup information, the system validates the requested change, and then goes into the “setup” state while the new setup information is assimilated. When the new setup information is processed, the system returns to the measure state. You may observe a momentary delay during this process, which is normal.

Calibration State

The system enters a calibration state when you request it or when the system determines that calibration is necessary. In this calibration state, the analog receiver and LO hardware is calibrated and the results saved for use in measurement corrections. Upon completion, the system returns to the measure state.

Instrument Preset

The instrument can be set to a known state by pressing the Preset key, or the Preset menu item on the Front Panel drop-down menu, or by a command via the remote programming interface (GPIB or LAN). When initiating a preset, the instrument goes through a sequence similar to startup by loading the default measurement parameters to the hardware.
