Page 132 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions The second function of this key is to move marker information off of the graticules so that the display traces are clearer. If there are two or more markers activated on a channel on the right side of the display, pressing will turn off the softkey menu and move the marker information into the softkey display area.

Page 140 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions allows you to select channel 2 as the active channel. Chan 2 The active channel is indicated by an amber LED adjacent to the corresponding channel key. All of the channel-speciﬁc functions you select, such as format or scale, apply to the active channel.
Page 141 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions deﬁnes the standard (and the offset) as coaxial. This COAX causes the analyzer to assume linear phase response in any offsets. applies a linear phase compensation to the trace for use COAXIAL DELAY with electrical delay. That is, the effect is the same as if a corresponding length of perfect vacuum dielectric coaxial transmission line was added to the reference signal path.
Page 142 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions switches the internal counter off and removes the counter COUNTER: OFF display from the LCD. toggles the channel coupling of stimulus values. With COUPLED CH ON off (the preset condition), both channels COUPLED CH ON have the same stimulus values (the inactive channel takes on the stimulus values of the active channel).
Page 143 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions → stores the current active measurement data in the DATA MEMORY memory of the active channel. It then becomes the memory trace, for use in subsequent math manipulations or display. If a parameter has just been changed and the * status notation is displayed at the left of the display, the data is not stored in memory until a clean sweep has been executed.
Page 144 DISK UNIT NUMBER is to be accessed in an external disk store or load routine. This is used in conjunction with the HP-IB address of the disk drive, and the volume number, to gain access to a speciﬁc area on a disk. The access hierarchy is HP-IB address, disk unit number, disk volume number.
Page 145 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions provides access to a series of menus for instrument and Display active channel display functions. The ﬁrst menu deﬁnes the displayed active channel trace in terms of the mathematical relationship between data and trace memory. Other functions include auxiliary channel enabling, dual channel display (overlaid or split), display intensity, color selection, active channel display title, and frequency blanking.

The active marker values are displayed in terms of conductance (in Siemens), susceptance, and equivalent capacitance or inductance.
Page 152 When diagnostics are on, the analyzer scrolls a history of incoming HP-IB commands across the display in the title line. Nonprintable characters are represented as pi. If a syntax error is received, the commands halt and a pointer wedge indicates the misunderstood character.

Page 157 This key will also abort a test sequence or hardcopy print/plot. In this local mode, with a controller still connected on HP-IB, the analyzer can be operated manually (locally) from the front panel. This is the only front panel key that is not disabled when the analyzer is remotely controlled over HP-IB by a computer.
Page 158 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions displays the current value of the loop counter and allows LOOP COUNTER you to change the value of the loop counter. Enter any number from 0 to 32767 and terminate with the key. The default value of the counter is zero. This command should be placed in a sequence that is separate from the measurement sequence.
Page 159 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions waits for a manual trigger for each point. Subsequent MANUAL TRG ON POINT pressing of this softkey triggers each measurement. The annotation "man" will appear at the left side of the display when the instrument is waiting for the trigger to occur. This feature is useful in a test sequence when an external device or instrument requires changes at each point.

Page 164 Hardkey/Softkey Reference Analyzer Functions is used to select the number of data points per sweep to be NUMBER of POINTS measured and displayed. Using fewer points allows a faster sweep time but the displayed trace shows less horizontal detail. Using more points gives greater data density and improved trace resolution, but slows the sweep and requires more memory for error correction or saving instrument states.

Page 271: Introduction
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Introduction Introduction In any measurement, certain measurement errors associated with the system add uncertainty to the measured results. This uncertainty deﬁnes how accurately a device under test (DUT) can be measured. This chapter describes how the various network analyzer measurement error sources contribute to uncertainties in the magnitude and phase measurements of both transmission and reﬂection.
Page 272: Sources Of Measurement Errors
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Sources of Measurement Errors Sources of Measurement Errors Measurement errors are made up of systematic errors, random errors, and drift errors. Each of these measurement error types is discussed in this section. Sources of Systematic Errors The residual (after measurement calibration) systematic errors result from imperfections in the calibration standards.
Page 273: Sources Of Random Errors
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Sources of Measurement Errors Sources of Random Errors The random error sources are noise, connector repeatability and interconnecting cable stability. There are two types of noise in any measurement system: low level noise (noise ﬂoor) and high level noise (trace noise). Low level noise is the broadband noise ﬂoor of the receiver which can be reduced through averaging or by changing the IF bandwidth.
Page 274: Determining Expected System Performance
Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Determining Expected System Performance Determining Expected System Performance Improper connection techniques and contact surfaces can degrade measurement accuracy. Proper connection techniques include using a torque wrench with proper torque limits, ensuring that the connector pin depths meet speciﬁcations, ensuring that the center conductor of sliding loads is properly set, and observing proper handling procedures for beadless airlines.
Page 275 Figure 10-1, Figure 10-2, and Figure 10-3 show an example that demonstrates the concepts useful in determining cable stability. In each case, a cable (HP part number 8120-4779) was connected to port 1, with a ﬁxed load connected to the free end. A reference...

Determining System Measurement Uncertainties Measurement Uncertainty Equations Measurement Uncertainty Equations Any measurement result is the vector sum of the actual test device response plus all error terms. The precise effect of each error term depends on its magnitude and phase relationship to the actual test device response.
