Run/Hold
Run Hold
Press this soft key to toggle the sweep to Run or Hold.
Sweep Type
Single Cont Ext
Press this soft key to toggle the sweep type to Single, Continuous, or External. Single sweep sets the VNA Master to make a single sweep and then wait for additional commands. The Continuous mode sweeps continuously. In the External mode, the sweep is set to Hold until an external signal triggers a sweep. This must be a TTL signal, and it will trigger a sweep on the rising edge (> 3 V). At the completion of an externally triggered sweep (or multiple sweeps if averaging is enabled), the instrument returns to Hold.
Data Points
Press this soft key to set the number of data points from 2 to 4001.
IFBW
Press this soft key to open a list box and set the Intermediate Frequency bandwidth. The default is 10 kHz. Select 10 Hz for the maximum dynamic range; select 100 kHz for the maximum speed.
Sweep Averaging
Press this soft key to set the number of sweeps to use for averaging. The minimum number is 1.
Configure Ports
Press this soft key to open the Configure Ports Menu.
RF Pwr in Hold
On Off
Press this soft key to toggle On and Off the condition of the RF power transmitted from Port 1 and Port 2 when the instrument is put in Hold mode. The RF power can be set either to stay on or to be turned off during Hold. The default setting is for the RF to stay on during Hold, which helps to stabilize the instrument temperature.
To access the Sweep Menu, press the Sweep function hard key or press the Shift key then the Sweep (3) key. All of the variables that affect the sweep can be found in this menu.
