Frequency Range; Scale Settings - Agilent Technologies N9913A User Manual

NOTE Phase is unwrapped by comparing the phase from one data point to the next. If
the phase difference between two data points is greater than 180 degrees, or if
the phase of the first data point is greater than 180 degrees from DC, than the
phase measurement is probably NOT accurate. To ensure that the phase
measurement is accurate, increase the resolution setting. When making a
narrowband measurement, reduce the start frequency for the unwrapped phase
measurement to ensure the first data point is less than 180 degrees from DC.

Frequency Range

Set the range of frequencies over which you would like to make measurements.
When the frequency range is changed after a calibration is performed, the cal
becomes interpolated. Learn more on page77.
How to set Frequency Range
This can be done in two ways:
 Press Freq/Dist
 Then choose from the following:
 Follow each by entering a value using the numeric keypad, the ▲|▼ arrows, or
 After using the ▲|▼ arrows or the rotary knob, press Enter. The increment
 After using the keypad, select a multiplier key. Learn about multiplier

Scale Settings

Adjust the Y-axis scale to see the relevant portions of the data trace. The Y-axis is
divided into 10 graticules.
This setting can be changed at any time without affecting calibration accuracy.
How to set Scale
