Setting Measurement Conditions
Selecting a Data Format
Smith Chart Format
The Smith chart format is used to display impedances based on reflection measurement
data on the DUT. In this format, traces are plotted on the same spots as in the polar format.
The Smith chart format allows users to select one of the following five data groups for
displaying the marker response values.
