In the Spectrum application, the R&S FPL1000 provides a variety of different measure-
ment functions.
●
Basic measurements - measure the spectrum of your signal or watch your signal
in time domain
●
Power measurements - calculate the powers involved in modulated carrier signals
●
Emission measurements - detect unwanted signal emission
●
Statistic measurements - evaluate the spectral distribution of the signal
●
Special measurements - provide characteristic values of the signal
The individual functions are described in detail in the following chapters.
The measurement function determines which settings, functions and evaluation meth-
ods are available in the R&S FPL1000. The various measurement functions are descri-
bed in detail here.
When you select a measurement function, the measurement is started with its default
settings immediately and the corresponding measurement configuration menu is dis-
played. The measurement configuration menu can be displayed at any time by press-
ing the MEAS CONFIG key.
The easiest way to configure measurements is using the configuration "Overview" ,
see Chapter 7.1, "Configuration Overview", on page 230.
In addition to the measurement-specific parameters, the general parameters can be
configured as usual, see Chapter 7, "The Spectrum Application (RF Measurements)",
on page 230. Many measurement functions provide special result displays or evalua-
tion methods; however, in most cases the general evaluation methods are also availa-
ble, see Chapter 7.2.2, "Basic Evaluation Methods", on page 253.
In addition to the measurement-specific parameters, the general parameters can be
configured as usual, see Chapter 7.1, "Configuration Overview", on page 230. Many
measurement functions provide special result displays or evaluation methods; how-
ever, in most cases the general evaluation methods are also available, see Chap-
ter 7.2.2, "Basic Evaluation Methods", on page 253.
The remote commands required to retrieve measurement results are described in
Chapter 8.8.7.4, "Retrieving Trace Results", on page 702.
