 Network Analyzers using RVNA and RNVNA software

The trace status field displays the name and parameters of a trace. The number of lines in the field depends on the number of traces in the channel.

The trace status field is represented in the figure below.

Trace status field

Trace status field

Each line contains the data on one trace of the channel:

Trace name from «Tr1» to «Tr4» for RVNA, from «Tr1» to «Tr16» for RNVNA. The active trace name is highlighted in an inverted color.

Measured parameter:

1.S11 for 1-port Vector Network Analyzer;

2.S-parameters when using two or more Analyzers (separately or as a part of an RNVNA):

Sii, where a value from 1 to N is taken.

|Sij|, i ≠ j, i and j take a value from 1 to N (N is a number of Analyzers).

Display format, e.g. «Cable Loss» (See Display Format).

Trace scale in measurement units per division, «e.g. 10 dB/div».

Reference level value, e.g. «0.0 dB».

Trace properties is indicated as symbols in square brackets (See Table below).

Memory trace status, e.g.  «Dat» (See Memory Trace Function).
