2.Stimulus Stop Value. This value could be any one of the following:

n The stop frequency of the source in frequency domain measurements. n The stop time in time domain measurements or CW sweeps.

a The upper limit of a power sweep.

When the stimulus is in center/span mode, the, s?an is shown in this space. The stimulus values can be blanked, as described under ~‘~~~~~‘~~~~~~~ Key” in Chapter 9, “Key Definitions. n

(For CW time and power sweep measurements, the CW frequency is displayed centered between the start and stop times or power values)

3.Status Notations. This area shows the current status of various functions for the active channel.

The following notations are used:

Avg Sweep-to-sweep averaging is on. The averaging count is shown immediately below. (See “(Avg) Key” in Chapter 9, “Key Definitions. “)

Cm Error correction is on. (For error-correction procedures, refer to Chapter 5, “Optimizing Measurement Results.” For error correction theory, refer to Chapter 6, “Application and Operation Concepts. “)

CA	Stimulus parameters have changed from the error-corrected state, or interpolated
	error correction is on. (For error-correction procedures, refer to Chapter 5,
	“Optimizing Measurement Results.” For error correction theory, refer to Chapter
	6, “Application and Operation Concepts “)
	Full two-port error-correction is active and either the power range for each port
	is different (~coupled), or the ~~~~~5~~~~~: is a&vat&. me annotation
	i ..:: :.:.::: .._..........i;;;;u....zu; i....... .:........aL.::..:::..::

occurs because the analyzer does not switch between the test ports every sweep under these conditions. The measurement stays on the active port after an initial cycling between the ports (The active port is determined by the selected

measurement parameter.) You can update all the parameters by pressing LMenu)

~~~~~~~~ or ~ key. ::..:. i .::.. ../:...A;......~..;..::..~.;..;; ....::.: ...,.L.... ,

Del Electrical delay has been added or subtracted, or port extensions are active. (See Chapter 6, “Application and Operation Concepts”and “(~J Key” in Chapter 9, “Key Dehnitions.“)

ext Waiting for an external trigger.

Ofs Frequency offset mode is on. (See “Frequency Offset Operation” in Chapter 6, “Application and Operation Concepts. “)

Of? Frequency offset mode error, the IF frequency is not withln 10 MHz of expected frequency. LO inaccuracy is the most likely cause. (See “Frequency Offset Operation” in Chapter 6, “Application and Operation Concepts. “)

Gat Gating is on (time domain Option 010 only). (For time domain measurement procedures, refer to Chapter 2, “Making Measurements.” For time domain theory, refer to Chapter 6 “Application and Operation Concepts.“)
