Single Or Continuous Measure; Resolution; Triggering - Agilent Technologies N9913A User Manual

Single or Continuous Measure

This setting determines whether the FieldFox continuously queries the USB
Power Sensor for data, or only once each time the
Single to conserve battery power or to allow you to save or analyze specific data.
How to set Single or Continuous
 Press Sweep 3
 Then choose one of the following:
You can also use Run / Hold +/- to toggle between Single and Continuous.

Resolution

Resolution is the number of individual acquisitions that occur in the USB Power
Sensor. This data is read by the FieldFox and plotted across the X-axis to form a
trace. More data points increases measurement resolution. However, more data
points requires more time to acquire, query, and plot.
How to set Resolution
 Press Sweep 3
 Then
 Then choose from the following:

Triggering

For pulse measurements, a trigger signal refers to the event that causes the USB
Peak Power Sensor to initiate measurement acquisition. It does NOT refer to
triggering the FieldFox.
Trigger settings can be used with ALL pulse measurements unless stated
otherwise.
A
USB Power Sensor when it is waiting for a pulse signal at the RF Input (Internal)
or a TTL signal at the USB Sensor External Trigger input.
