Auto burst detection
Auto burst detection helps the measurement setup of the trace or gate positions
and sizes, and triggering parameters on a large variety of complex modulated
signals by synchronizing to the RF bursts. After a successful auto-scaling, the
triggering parameters such as the trigger level, delay, and hold-off are
automatically adjusted for optimum operation. The trace settings are also
adjusted to align the RF burst to the center of the trace display.
20-pulse measurements
The U2020 X-Series can measure up to 20 pulses. The measurement of radar
pulse timing characteristics is greatly simplified and accelerated by performing
analysis simultaneously on up to 20 pulses within a single capture. Individual
pulse duration, period, duty cycle and separation, positive or negative transition
duration, and time (relative to the delayed trigger point) are measured. The pulse
parameters of these 20 pulses in a single capture can be queried through SCPI
codes using the TRACe:MEASurement:PULSe[1-20] and
TRACEe:MEASurement:TRANsition[1-20] commands. For example,
TRAC:MEAS:TRAN20:POS:DUR? will return the 20th positive transition duration
(rise time) found within the capture.
