The following chapter provides an overview of the analyzer's capabilities and their use.
It contains a description of the basic concepts that the analyzer uses to organize, proc-
ess and display measurement data. Also included are descriptions of the screen con-
tents, possible measured quantities, calibration methods and typical test setups.

Basic concepts
The analyzer provides various functions to perform a particular measurement and to
customize and optimize the evaluation of results. To ensure that the instrument resour-
ces are easily accessible and that user-defined configurations can be conveniently
implemented, stored and reused, the instrument uses a hierarchy of structures:
●
Global resources can be used for all measurements, irrespective of the current
measurement session.
●
A recall set comprises a set of diagrams together with the underlying system, chan-
nel, trace and display settings. It can be saved to a recall set file and later recalled.
●
The diagrams show traces which are assigned to channels. See
"Traces, channels and diagrams"

Global (persistent) settings
The analyzer manages global settings that apply to all measurements, irrespective of
the current measurement setup. The following list contains examples of global settings:
●
Calibration kits
●
