Measurement Setup

Refer to Spectrum Analyzer measurement guide (10580-00447) for basic information on setting up a spectrum measurement. This section provides setup information for the Pulse measurement.

MEASURE Menu

MEASURE Menu
	VIEW Selects Pulse Analyzer or Pulse Viewer. Pulse Analyzer view provides the signal trace with pulse instant and transition indicators on the trace along with pulse analytics below the trace display. Refer to Pulse Analyzer GUI Overview and Pulse Measurements. Pulse Viewer displays the signal trace without the pulse instant and transition indicators nor the pulse analytics, and it enables the MARKER menu and faster sweep updates. Refer to Setting Up Markers (Pulse Viewer Mode). SETUP Opens the SETUP menu. The SETUP menu can also be accessed directly from the main menu.

SETUP Menu

Pulse SETUP Menu
	LEVEL TYPE Selects the desired measurement type from the following list: • Auto: Automatically sets the top and bottom reference levels based on the received signal. See Pulse Measurements. • User: Provides manual setting of the top and bottom reference levels. When se to User, use the USER TOP (S2) and USER BOTTOM (S1) buttons below. PULSE TYPE Selects Pulse Type as either positive or negative. REF HIGH Sets the high reference level. DURATION REF Sets the duration reference level. REF LOW Sets the low reference level. USER TOP (S2) Used to set the top reference level when LEVEL TYPE is set to User. USER BOTTOM (S1) Used to set the bottom reference level when LEVEL TYPE is set to User. PRESET SETUP Presets all values on the SETUP menu to default values. SIMULATION Opens the PULSE SIMULATION menu. Refer to PULSE SIMULATION Menu. DISPLAY Opens the DISPLAY menu. Refer to DISPLAY Menu.

PULSE SIMULATION Menu

PULSE SIMULATION Menu
	SIMULATION Toggles pulse simulation on or off. When simulation mode is on, the analyzer stops sweeping and displays an example trace to show the Pulse Analyzer measurement capabilities. WAVEFORM TYPE Selects the desired waveform type. You can select a single positive, or a single negative pulse, pulse train, or double pulse. See Figure: Double Pulse Waveform Simulation (Pulse Analyzer View) for a double pulse simulation. AMP HIGH sets the upper amplitude of the simulated pulse. AMP LOW sets the lower amplitude of the simulated pulse. PERIOD sets the period of the simulated pulse. DUTY FACTOR sets the duty factor of the simulated pulse.
