Data Displays
6-1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides discussion and examples of the various types of
data displays.
6-2 DISPLAY MODES AND
TYPES
The MS462XX displays measurement data using a “Channel Concept.”
This means that each channel can display both a different
S-Parameter (or another specialty parameter) and a different graph
type. As you select each channel the graph type, scaling, reference
delay, S-Parameter, etc. associated with that channel appear on the
screen. You can display the same S-Parameter on two or more
channels.
Several graph-types are possible: polar, rectilinear, or Smith chart.
The rectilinear graph-type may be magnitude, phase, magnitude and
phase, SWR, group delay, real, imaginary, and real and imaginary.
The Smith chart graph-type is specifically designed to plot complex
impedances or admittances.

You select this display type (Figures 6-1 and 6-2) by
pressing the Display key, then selecting the DIS-
PLAY MODE and SINGLE CHANNEL soft-keys.
Possible graph types include Smith, polar, rectilin
-
ear, or dual (split) rectilinear (magnitude and
phase).
