Displays the numeric result of modulation analysis in the trace area. According to the storage mode specified, the results in a single measurement are displayed for Off, the averages of the results in the specified number of measurements for Average, and the averages and the maximums of the results in the specified number of measurements for Average & Max, respectively. The measurements depend on the Modulation Type setting.
If a 4-trace split screen is displayed, Filtered Power, Frequency Error (ppm), Droop Factor, MER (RMS, peak), or Deviation at Ts/2 is not displayed on the screen.
Numeric (Modulation Type is Pi/4DQPSK)
Graph Display Result
Displays the normalized amplitude of the I phase and Q phase for each 1/8th of the symbol in the analysis interval. When modulation is set to 2FSK, 4FSK, or H-CPM, the frequency deviation of each symbol can be displayed with the horizontal axis as normalized frequency. The graph's horizontal axis is displayed in 2-symbol intervals. Right-click the measurement screen to display the menu shown below.
