Comparing Traces/Performing Data Math
Each of the traces for which measured data is displayed is provided with an additional
trace, called a memory trace, that temporarily stores measured data. You can use the
memory trace to compare traces on the screen or to perform complex data math between
the memory trace and measured data.
The following data math operations are available:
Performing Data Math Operations
Step 1. Press (or ) and (or ) to activate the trace to
be stored in memory.
Step 2. Press .
Step 3. Press
Data → Mem to store the measured data in memory.
Step 4. Press
Data Math.
Step 5. Select the data math operation to perform.
Step 6. Press
Display.
Step 7. Select the type of data to display on the screen.
Data / Memory Divides the measured data by the data in the memory trace. This
function can be used to evaluate the ratio of two traces (e.g., evaluating
gain or attenuation).
Data * Memory Multiplies the measured data by a memory trace.
Data − Memory Subtracts a memory trace from the measured data. This function can be
used, for example, to subtract a vector error that has been measured and
stored (e.g., directivity) from data subsequently measured on a device.
Data + Memory Adds the measured data and the data in the memory trace.
Softkey Function
OFF Turns off data math functions (Do not perform data math)
Data / Mem Divides measured data by memory trace and stores result in data trace
Data * Mem Multiplies data trace by memory trace and stores result in data trace
Data − Mem Subtracts memory trace from data trace and stores result in data trace
Data + Mem Adds data trace and memory trace and stores result in data trace
Softkey Function
Data Displays only data trace on the screen
Mem Displays only memory trace stored by Data → Mem operation on the
screen
