The target level search function is used to locate the marker with the given level of the measured parameter.
The trace can have two types of transition at the points where the target level crosses the trace:
•Transition type is positive if the function derivative (trace slope) is positive at the intersection point with the target level.
•Transition type is negative if the function derivative (trace slope) is negative at the intersection point with the target level.
Target level search is performed only for intersection points that have a user-selected specific transition polarity (positive, negative, or both).
The following options for the target level search are available:
•search for nearest target
•search for left target
•search for right target
Marker Search Target Search Menu
|
To set the transition polarity: Search > Type: Target > Transition [ Positive | Negative | Both ] |
|
To enter the target level value: Search > Type: Target > Value Then enter the value using the numerical keypad, or the «↑», «↓» arrows. |
|
To activate the nearest target search: Search > Type: Target > Search [Target] |
|
To activate the left target search: Search > Type: Target > Search [Left] |
|
To activate the right target search: Search > Type: Target > Search [Right] |
note |
Activate the marker before starting target level search (see Marker Activation). In Smith chart and Polar formats, the search is executed for the first marker value. |
