Fast CW SETUP Menu
Mode
Toggles the mode between Point by Point (PBP) and Full Time Record (FTR). Notes: Depending on the mode selected, the time parameters change from Delay (for PBP) to Start/Stop (for FTR). The bottom trace display status bar indicates the Advanced Fast CW mode (FCW-PBP or FCW-FTR):
Synch Interval
Select activates a toolbar for setting synchronization interval.
Capture Duration
Select activates a toolbar for setting capture duration in time units.
Measurement Width
Select activates a toolbar for setting measurement width in time units.
Delay (Point by Point mode only)
Select activates a toolbar for setting delay in time units.
Start Time (Full Time Record mode only)
Select activates a toolbar for setting start time
Stop Time (Full Time Record mode only)
Select activates a toolbar for setting stop time
# of Points
Select activates a toolbar for setting the number of points measured from Start to Stop time.
Trigger Source
Displays the trigger source that is selected from Other Setup (Addl.FCW Setup) menu. Note that this becomes active as a manual trigger button when Trigger Source is set to Manual.
Additional Fast CW Setup
Select opens the Addl.FCW Setup menu for more Fast CW setup parameters. See Addl. FCW SETUP Menu.

Receiver Menu
Prerequisites
• Option 35 and Option 46 is installed on the VNA.
• Advanced Fast CW application selected on Application menu.
Select sets triggering to be automatically created within the instrument. Internal triggering mode is an automatically triggered point-by-point measurement that is controlled by the instrument internal software.
Manual
Select sets triggering to be manually triggered by the user from the Fast CW SETUP Menu. The default setting is on a per-channel basis. The maximum setting is for all channels.
External
Select sets triggering to be created externally by another instrument and sensed through an external port/connector.
GPIB
Select sets triggering to be through an external GPIB device and communicated to the instrument via a GPIB network.
External Trigger Setup Menu
External trigger mode allows a rear panel input to start a measurement based per-point, per-sweep (or per-port), per-channel, or for all channels. The EXT. TRIGGER menu configuration options allow for selection of either a positive or negative signal edge, a trigger delay, and signal handshaking between the external triggering device and the instrument.
Prerequisites
• None (This menu is a duplicate of that from the Sweep/Trigger menus and the entered selections transfer.)
The Trigger All Channels button sets the external trigger to measure values for all channels.
Trig. One Chan.
The Trigger One Channel button sets the external trigger to measure values for one channel only.
Trig. One Sweep
The Trigger One Sweep button sets the external trigger to measure values for one sweep only.
Trig. One Point
The Trigger One Point sets the external trigger to measure values for one point only.
Trigger Delay (Time)
Trigger delay sets the time interval between when the instrument received the trigger signal and when the triggered measurement starts.
Select displays the Trigger Delay field toolbar and allows the user to enter a trigger delay time and select units.
Trigger On (Positive Edge/Negative Edge) (External Trigger)
Select toggles the triggering point to be on either the positive edge or negative edge of the triggering signal. The default value is positive edge.
Trigger Handshake (Off/On) (External Trigger)
If triggering handshaking is on, the instrument provides a Ready for Trigger and an Output Trigger signal from the rear panel.
• The instrument sends a Ready for Trigger signal to specify if the instrument is ready or not to receive a triggering signal.
• The instrument sends an Output Trigger signal when the triggered measurement is complete.
Select toggles whether the trigger handshake is off or on. The default value is OFF.
Manual Trigger Setup Menu
Manual trigger mode is triggered by the user from the Fast CW SETUP Menu to start a measurement based on per-point, per-sweep (or port), per-channel, or for all channels.
Prerequisites
• None (This menu is a duplicate of that from the Sweep/Trigger menus and the entered selections transfer.)
