Overview
The E5071C has one trigger source. When this trigger source detects a
trigger signal that has occurred, a sweep is performed for channels in the
"Initiate" state in the order of channel 1 to channel 36. You set the
"Initiate" or "Idle" status of each channel by changing the trigger mode.
The execution of measurement for each channel does not
•
depend on whether the channel is displayed. Channels that have
been activated can be measured even if they are not displayed.
For each channel, a sweep is performed only for the stimulus
•
ports needed to update the parameters of the displayed trace.
Sweep Order in Each Channel
In a channel, each test port is set to a stimulus port in the order of port
number and updates each trace.
Sweep Order
1
2
3
4
If full 2, 3, or 4-port error correction is in effect, no trace
•
between calibrated ports is updated until the last calibrated port
is swept as the stimulus port.
Sweep is not executed for stimulus ports that are not required
•
for updating traces.
