STORESHORT Syntax

The STORESHORT command takes currently displayed trace A data

and averages this data with previously stored open data, and stores it

in trace B. This command is used in conjunction with the STOREOPEN

command and must be preceded by it for proper operation. Refer to the

STOREOPEN command description for more information. The state of

the open/short average trace is stored in state register number 8.

The STORESHORT command is primarily intended for use with a

tracking generator.

A normalization error will occur when the NRL command is executed if

the current spectrum analyzer state is not the same as the state stored

by the last execution of the STORETHRU or STORESHORT command.

This can happen when several open/short or thru calibrations are

The NRL command recalls the last calibration run. If one of the earlier

short or thru states has been recalled just before executing the NRL

command, then the current and recalled states don't match and the

error occurs. To avoid this error, update the STORETHRU or

STORESHORT state register with the current state before turning

NRL on. The STORETHRU state register is state register 9. The

STORESHORT state register is state register 8. It is a good idea to take

a sweep (TS command) prior to saving the state using the SAVES 8 or

SAVES 9 command.
