This subsystem provides commands that modify the display of data for the user. They do not modify the way in which data are returned to the controller.
Sets the display type for the current active trace. Setting the display type to TRAC will display the trace only. Setting the display type to MEM will display the trace memory only. Setting the display type to BOTH will display both the trace and memory.
Defines the display trace format. The query version of this command returns “SING” if the trace format is set to Single, “DUAL” if set to dual, “TRI” if set to Tri, and “QUAD” if set to Quad.
Defines the measurement type for the current active trace. This command is valid only for Field mode with display type set to either single or dual. <Measurement Type> is the measurement type to which the specified trace is set, and it must be one of the following values:
VSWR for VSWR RETLoss for Return Loss CABLoss for Cable Loss 2PTGain for Insertion Loss 1PTPhase for 1-port Phase 2PTPhase for 2-port Phase 1PTSmith for 1-port Smith DTFRetLoss for DTF Return Loss DTFVswr for DTF VSWR
The query returns the short form of the measurement type of the active trace.
Insertion Loss: 0 dB, Max 110, Min -110 VSWR: 101, Max 101, Min 1 1-Port Phase: 180°, Max 180°, Min -180° 2-Port Phase: 180°, Max 180°, Min -180° Cable Loss: 0 dB, Max 30, Min -30 Return Loss: 0 dB, Max 110, Min -110 DTF Return Loss: 0 dB, Max 110, Min -110 DTF VSWR: 101, Max 101, Min 1
Note: Although these values are not used for 1 Port Smith Chart, when you query or set through SCPI, the instrument always returns a value. For Smith Chart, use:
Sets the Group Delay aperture value (which is common to all traces). The query version of this command produces the Group Delay aperture as its output.
Insertion Loss: 0 dB, Max 110, Min -110 VSWR: 101, Max 101, Min 1 1-Port Phase: 180°, Max 180°, Min -180° 2-Port Phase: 180°, Max 180°, Min -180° Cable Loss: 0 dB, Max 30, Min -30 Return Loss: 0 dB, Max 110, Min -110 DTF Return Loss: 0 dB, Max 110, Min -110 DTF VSWR: 101, Max 101, Min 1
Note: Although these values are not used for 1 Port Smith Chart, when you query or set through SCPI, the instrument always returns a value. For Smith Chart, use:
Sets the scale per division for the y‑axis. For Group Delay, sets the scale (time/division) for the y‑axis. For Phase, sets the scale (degree/division) for the y‑axis. For Log Magnitude and Log Mag/2, sets the scale (dB/division) for the y‑axis. For all other measurements, the y‑axis is unitless. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1.

Sets the Smith chart display scale type of the given trace number specified by <Tr>. <Tr> is the trace number in the range 1 to 4. If no trace number is specified, then the <Tr> parameter defaults to trace number 1. Setting the value to 0 is equivalent of setting the Smith Chart scale to “Normal” on the front panel. Setting the value to 10 is equivalent of setting the Smith Chart scale to “Expand 10 dB” on the front panel. Setting the value to 20 is equivalent of setting the Smith Chart scale to “Expand 20 dB” on the front panel. Setting the value to 30 is equivalent of setting the Smith Chart scale to “Expand 30 dB” on the front panel. Setting the value to – 3 is equivalent of setting the Smith Chart scale to “Compress 3 dB” on the front panel.
