Trace Menu

The Trace menu permits the selections for the active trace.

Does this…

 

 

(trace toolbar)

The trace toolbar at the top of the Trace menu selects the active trace, adds and removes traces, and changes trace visibility.

   

Data

Select which measurement results to show in the active trace.

 

 

Format

Specify Y-axis coordinates for the active trace.

   

Coupling

Synchronize settings between two or more overlaid traces.

 

 

Y scale

Set up Y-axis scale parameters, including units, reference level, reference position, and units per division.

 

 

X scale

Set up X-axis scale parameters, including left and right reference values.

 

 

Average

Average multiple sweeps of measurement data in a trace.

   

Digital Demod

Set up digital demodulation trace parameters, including symbol table format, symbol shape, ideal state shape and size, eye length, and time unit.

 

 

Overlay

Enables trace overlay for the current trace. This shows multiple trace data overlaid in a single trace window when more than one trace data window is docked as a tab.

   

Traces

View all the traces defined in the VSA, set visibility, and select trace data.

   

Spectrogram / 3D Map

Set up spectrogram and other 3D Map type parameters, including buffer depth, color count, map color, enhancement, and threshold value.

 

 

Trace Scale

Change the time (vertical axis) scaling of a spectrogram.

 

 

Graph Settings

Configures Stimulus-Response measurements for the active Graph trace.

   

Graph Results

Shows information about the Graph calculation for the active Graph trace.

   

Auto Scale

Automatically scales the X and Y axes to fit all the trace data in the trace grid boundaries.
