 Network Analyzers using PXI software

By default, traces are displayed overlapping one other in the diagram. If you wish to display the traces in separate diagrams, the number and layout of the diagrams can be set in the channel window as shown below.

Channel window layout

Options for diagram placement in the channel

Unlike channel windows, the number of traces and layout of the trace in diagrams are not related. The number of traces and the number of diagrams is set independently.

Placing traces in a diagram:

If the number of traces and the number of diagrams is equal, all the traces will be displayed separately, each in an individual diagram.

Trace Allocation1

If the number of traces is greater than the number of diagrams, traces will be assigned successively (beginning from the smallest trace number) to the number of available diagrams. When all diagrams are utilized, the process will continue from the first diagram (the following in succession traces will be added in diagrams).

Trace Allocation2

If the number of traces is smaller than the number of diagrams, empty diagrams will be displayed.

Trace Allocation3

If two or more traces are displayed in one diagram, the vertical scale will be shown for the active trace.


note

The Analyzer can optionally show vertical graticule labels for all the traces in the diagram. By default, this feature is disabled. Activation of this function is described in Set Response Graticule Mode (Y).


If two or more traces are displayed in one diagram, markers data will be shown for the active trace.


note

There are two options for displaying marker data for all the traces simultaneously:

Using the Marker Table Feature.

Deactivating identification of the active trace marker only, which is set by default.


The stimulus axis is the same for all the traces of the channel, except when Time Domain Transformation is applied to some of the traces. In this case, the displayed stimulus axis will correspond to the active trace.

Allocate traces softkey

To allocate the traces in diagrams, use the following softkeys:

Display > Allocate Traces

Then select the desired number and layout of separate diagrams in the menu.
