Saving a File

You can save files (setups, states, traces, limits, corrections, measurement results, or screens) to a floppy disk (A:\), or the internal drive (C:\). In this example you will save a trace to the internal C: drive.

NOTE

Trace files are not bitmap files. Files saved as Trace cannot be imported into

 

other applications or converted. If you require the use of other applications,

 

for example MicrosoftWord or MicrosoftExcel, be sure to save your files as

 

.gif or .wmf formats using Screen for your file Type.

 

 

Step 1. Set up the analyzer trace

1.Perform a factory preset by pressing Preset, Factory Preset (if present).

2.Turn on the internal 50 MHz alignment signal of the analyzer as follows:

For the Agilent E4401B and E4411B, use the internal 50 MHz alignment signal of the analyzer as the signal being measured. Press Input/Output, Amptd Ref (On).

For all other models connect a cable between the front-panel AMPTD REF OUT to the analyzer INPUT, then press Input/Output, Amptd Ref Out (On).

3.Set the center frequency to 50 MHz by pressing press FREQUENCY, Center Freq, 50, MHz.

4.Set the span to 75 MHz by pressing SPAN, Span, 75, MHz. The reference signal will appear on the display.

5.View trace 1 and put it into maximum hold by pressing View/Trace, Max Hold. (Trace 1 should already by underlined, but if not, press Trace 1 2 3 until 1 is underlined and then press Max Hold.) Your analyzer display should look similar to Figure 4-3.
