R&S®FSV3-K6 Welcome to the pulse measurements application
Starting the pulse application

2 Welcome to the pulse measurements appli-

cation
The R&S FSV3 Pulse application is a firmware application that adds functionality to
perform measurements on pulsed signals to the R&S FSV/A.
The R&S FSV3 Pulse application provides measurement and analysis functions for
pulse signals frequently used in radar applications, for example.
The R&S FSV3 Pulse application (R&S FSV/A-K6) features:
● Automated measurement of many pulse parameters including timing, amplitude,
frequency and phase parameters
● Statistical analysis of pulse parameters
● Analysis of "parameter trends" over time and frequency
● Visualization of the dependency between parameters
● Display of amplitude, frequency, phase and power spectrum measurement traces
for individual pulses
This user manual contains a description of the functionality that the application pro-
vides, including remote control operation.
Functions that are not discussed in this manual are the same as in the Spectrum appli-
cation and are described in the R&S FSV/A User Manual. The latest version is availa-
ble for download at the product homepage:
http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/FSV3000.html.

Installation
You can find detailed installation instructions in the R&S FSV/A Getting Started manual
or in the Release Notes.

2.1 Starting the pulse application

Pulse measurements require a separate application on the R&S FSV/A.

To activate the R&S FSV3 Pulse application

1. Press the [MODE] key on the front panel of the R&S FSV/A.
A dialog box opens that contains all operating modes and applications currently
available on your R&S FSV/A.

2. Select the "Pulse" item.

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 13

R&S®FSV3-K6 Welcome to the pulse measurements application
Understanding the display information

The R&S FSV/A opens a new measurement channel for the R&S FSV3 Pulse
application.

The measurement is started immediately with the default settings. It can be configured
in the Pulse "Overview" dialog box, which is displayed when you select the "Overview"
softkey from any menu (see Chapter 5.1, "Configuration overview", on page 62).

Multiple Measurement Channels and Sequencer Function

When you activate an application, a new measurement channel is created which deter-
mines the measurement settings for that application. The same application can be acti-
vated with different measurement settings by creating several channels for the same
application.
The number of channels that can be configured at the same time depends on the avail-
able memory on the instrument.
Only one measurement can be performed at any time, namely the one in the currently
active channel. However, in order to perform the configured measurements consecu-
tively, a Sequencer function is provided.
If activated, the measurements configured in the currently active channels are per-
formed one after the other in the order of the tabs. The currently active measurement is
indicated by a symbol in the tab label. The result displays of the individual channels
are updated in the tabs (including the "MultiView") as the measurements are per-
formed. Sequential operation itself is independent of the currently displayed tab.
For details on the Sequencer function see the R&S FSV/A User Manual.

2.2 Understanding the display information

The following figure shows a measurement diagram during analyzer operation. All dif-
ferent information areas are labeled. They are explained in more detail in the following
sections.

SGL The sweep is set to single sweep mode.

*) If the input source is an I/Q data file, most measurement settings related to data acquisition are not
known and thus not displayed.
(See Chapter 4.5, "Basics on input from I/Q data files", on page 55)

In addition, the channel bar also displays information on instrument settings that affect
the measurement results even though this is not immediately apparent from the display
of the measured values (e.g. transducer or trigger settings). This information is dis-

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurements and result displays
Pulse parameters

3 Measurements and result displays

During a pulse measurement, I/Q data from the input signal is captured for a specified
time or for a specified record length. Pulses are detected from the signal according to
specified thresholds and user-defined criteria. The measured signal is then compared
with the ideal signal described by the user and any deviations are recorded. The
defined range of measured data is then evaluated to determine characteristic pulse
parameters. These parameters can either be displayed as traces, in a table, or be eval-
uated statistically over a series of measurements.

Measurement range vs. result range vs. detection range

The measurement range defines which part of an individual pulse is measured (for
example for frequency deviation), whereas the result range determines which data is
displayed on the screen in the form of amplitude, frequency or phase vs. time traces.
The detection range (if enabled) determines which part of the capture buffer is ana-
lyzed. The pulse numbers in the result displays are always relative to the current
detection range, that is: pulse number 1 is the first pulse within the detection range in
the capture buffer. If disabled (default), the entire capture buffer is used as the detec-
tion range. See also "Detection range" on page 49.

Exporting Table Results to an ASCII File

Measurement result tables can be exported to an ASCII file for further evaluation in
other (external) applications.
For step-by-step instructions on how to export a table, see Chapter 8.3, "How to export
table data", on page 140.

3.1 Pulse parameters

The pulse parameters to be measured are based primarily on the IEEE 181 Standard
181-2003. For detailed descriptions refer to the standard documentation ("IEEE Stan-
dard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms", from the IEEE Instrumentation
and Measurement (I&M) Society, 7 July 2003).
The following graphic illustrates the main pulse parameters and characteristic values.
(For a definition of the values used to determine the measured pulse parameters see
Chapter 4.1, "Parameter definitions", on page 44.)

Timestamp
The time stamp uniquely identifies each pulse in the capture buffer. It is defined as the
time from the capture start point to the beginning of the pulse period of the current
pulse. (As opposed to the pulse number, which is always relative to the start of the
detection range, see also "Detection range" on page 49).
Depending on the user-specified definition of the pulse period, the period begins with
the mid-level crossing of the current pulse's rising edge (period: high-to-low) or the
mid-level crossing of the previous pulse's falling edge (period low-to-high). See also
"Pulse Period" on page 65.
Note: For external triggers, the trigger point within the sample (TPIS) is considered in
the timestamp (see TRACe:IQ:TPISample? on page 294).

3.1.5 Envelope model (cardinal data points) parameters

The pulse envelope model has the shape of a trapezoid of amplitude (V) versus time
(s) values. This model allows for a finite rise and fall time, as well as an amplitude
droop across the top of the pulse. During measurement of each pulse, the points of this
trapezoidal model are determined as the basis for further measurements. For example,
the rise and fall time amplitude thresholds or the "pulse top" duration are determined
from the parameters of the envelope model.

Each of these parameters has a time and an amplitude value. The time values are rel-
ative to the pulse timestamp and displayed in seconds. The amplitude values are dis-
played as power in dBm units.

You configure the desired high, mid and low thresholds for the rise and fall slopes rela-
tive to the base (0%) and top (100%) levels. See Chapter 5.9.1, "Measurement levels",
on page 92.
The power value of the rise base point and the fall base point is assumed to be equal

3.2 Evaluation methods for pulse measurements

The data that was measured by the R&S FSV3 Pulse application can be evaluated
using various different methods.

All evaluation modes available for the Pulse measurement are displayed in the selec-
tion bar in SmartGrid mode.
For details on working with the SmartGrid see the R&S FSV/A Getting Started manual.

By default, the Pulse measurement results are displayed in the following windows:
● "Magnitude Capture"

Magnitude Capture
Displays the captured data. Detected pulses are indicated by green bars along the x-
axis. The currently selected pulse is highlighted in blue.
Additionally, the following parameters are indicated by horizontal lines in the diagram:
● "Ref": the pulse detection reference level (see Chapter 5.9.1, "Measurement lev-
els", on page 92)
● "Det": the pulse detection threshold (see "Threshold" on page 90)
● "100 %": a fixed top power level (see "Fixed Value" on page 93)
You can drag the line in the diagram to change the top power level.
The detection range is indicated by vertical lines ("DR", see "Detection Range"
on page 91). You can drag the lines within the capture buffer to change the detection
range.

Parameter Distribution
Plots a histogram of a particular parameter, i.e. all measured parameter values from
the current capture vs pulse count or occurrence in %. Thus you can determine how
often a particular parameter value occurs. For each "parameter distribution" window
you can configure a different parameter to be displayed.
This evaluation method allows you to distinguish transient and stable effects in a spe-
cific parameter, such as a spurious frequency deviation or a fluctuation in power over
several pulses.

Parameter Spectrum
Calculates an FFT for a selected column of the "Pulse Results" table. This "spectrum"
allows you to easily determine the frequency of periodicities in the pulse parameters.
For example, the "Parameter Spectrum" for "Pulse Top Power" might display a peak at
a particular frequency, indicating incidental amplitude modulation of the amplifier output
due to the power supply.
The "Parameter Spectrum" is calculated by taking the magnitude of the FFT of the
selected parameter and normalizing the result to the largest peak. In order to calculate
the frequency axis the average PRI (pulse repetition interval) is taken to be the "sam-
ple rate" for the FFT. Note that in cases where the signal has a non-uniform or stag-
gered PRI the frequency axis must therefore be interpreted with caution.

Parameter Trend
Plots all measured parameter values from the current capture buffer (or detection
range, if enabled) vs pulse number or pulse timestamp. This is equivalent to plotting a
column of the "Pulse Results" table for the rows highlighted green. This evaluation
allows you to determine trends in a specific parameter, such as a frequency deviation
or a fluctuation in power over several pulses.
The "parameter trend" evaluation can also be used for a more general scatter plot - the
parameters from the current capture buffer cannot only be displayed over time, but
also versus any other pulse parameter. For example, you can evaluate the rise time vs
fall time.
For each "parameter trend" window you can configure a different parameter to be dis-
played for both the x-axis and the y-axis, making this a very powerful and flexible
analysis tool.

tive frequencies. You cannot select a parameter for the spectrum. All other settings are
identical to the "parameter spectrum".

4.1 Parameter definitions

The pulse parameters to be measured are based primarily on the IEEE 181 Standard
181-2003. For detailed descriptions refer to the standard documentation ("IEEE Stan-
dard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms", from the IEEE Instrumentation
and Measurement (I&M) Society, 7 July 2003).
The following definitions are used to determine the measured pulse power parameters:

Value Description

L0% The magnitude in V corresponding to the pulse OFF level (base level)

L100% The magnitude in V corresponding to the pulse ON level (top level)

LOv The magnitude in V at the peak level occurring directly after the pulse rising edge (mid-level
crossing)

Lrise The magnitude in V of the reference model at the top of the rising edge (beginning of the pulse
top)

Lfall The magnitude in V of the reference model at the top of the falling edge (end of the pulse top)

Lrip+ The magnitude in V corresponding to the largest level above the reference model which occurs
within the ripple portion of the pulse top

Ltop+ The magnitude in V of the reference model at the point in time where Lrip+ is measured

Lrip- The magnitude in V corresponding to the lowest measured level below the reference model which
occurs within the ripple portion of the pulse top

Ltop- The magnitude in V of the reference model at the point in time where Lrip- is measured

tion from the pulse top reference, within a user specified interval.
The default behavior compensates for droop in the pulse top using the following formu-
lae:

However, if Pulse Has Droop is set to "Off" or the 100 % Level Position is set to "Cen-

4.2 Pulse detection

A pulsed input signal is a signal whose carrier power is modulated by two states: ON
and OFF. Basically, a pulse is detected when the input signal power exceeds a thresh-
old, then falls below that threshold, or vice versa. Pulses that rise to and then remain at
a peak (positive) power level for a certain duration, and then fall again are referred to
as positive pulses. The opposite - falling to and remaining at a minimum (negative)
power level, then rising - is referred to as a negative pulse. The "ON" power level is

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurement basics
Pulse detection

referred to as the top or 100% level, whereas the "OFF" level is referred to as the
base or 0% level.

Top Base

Base Top

Positive Negative
pulse pulse

A hysteresis can refine the detection process and avoid falsely interpreting unstable
signals as additional pulses. Optionally, detection can be restricted to a maximum num-
ber of pulses per capture process.
A top power level that is not constant is called an amplitude droop. Since the top level
is an important reference for several pulse parameters, take a droop into consideration
where possible. If a signal is known to have a droop, the reference level is not calcula-
ted as an average or median value over the ON time. Instead, it is calculated sepa-
rately for the rising and falling edges.
The time it takes the signal power to rise from the base level to the top is called the
rise time.
The duration the signal power remains at the top level is considered the ON time,
which also defines the pulse width.
The time it takes the signal power to fall from the top to the base level is called the fall
time.
The duration the signal power remains at the base level is called the OFF time.
The pulse repetition interval (also known as pulse period) is defined as the duration
of one complete cycle consisting of:
● The rise time
● The ON time
● The fall time
● The OFF time
To avoid taking noise, ripples, or other signal instabilities into consideration, the abso-
lute peak or minimum power values are not used to calculate these characteristic val-
ues. Instead, threshold values are defined.
See Chapter 3.1, "Pulse parameters", on page 17 for more precise definitions and an
illustration of how these values are calculated.

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 48

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurement basics
Parameter spectrum calculation

Detection range
If the capture buffer contains a large number of pulses, it can be tedious to find a par-
ticular pulse for analysis. In this case, you can enable the use of a detection range
instead of the entire capture buffer for analysis.
A detection range determines which part of the capture buffer is analyzed. It is defined
by the Detection Start and the Detection Length. If disabled (default), the entire capture
buffer is used as the detection range.
The pulse numbers in the result displays are always relative to the current detection
range, that is: pulse number 1 is the first pulse within the detection range. If you
change the position of the detection range within the capture buffer, pulse number 1
can be a different pulse. All pulse-based results are automatically updated, if neces-
sary. To navigate to a particular pulse in the capture buffer, use the pulse timestamps,
which are relative to the start of the capture buffer.
An active detection range is indicated by vertical lines ("DR") in the "Magnitude Cap-
ture" Buffer display. You can also change the detection range graphically by dragging
the vertical lines in the window.

4.3 Parameter spectrum calculation

When a signal is measured over time, it is possible to calculate the frequency spectrum
for the measured signal by performing an FFT on the measured data. Similarly, it is
possible to calculate a "spectrum" for a particular pulse parameter by performing an
FFT. This "spectrum" allows you to determine the frequency of periodicities in the pulse
parameters easily. For example, the "Parameter Spectrum" for "Pulse Top Power" can
display a peak at a particular frequency, indicating incidental amplitude modulation of
the amplifier output due to the power supply.
Basically, the "parameter spectrum" is calculated by taking the magnitude of the FFT of
the selected parameter and normalizing the result to the largest peak.

Frequency axis
When calculating a spectrum from a measured signal, the sample rate ensures a regu-
lar distance between two frequencies. To calculate the frequency axis for a "parameter
spectrum", the average PRI (pulse repetition interval) is taken to be the "sample rate"
for the FFT.

Interpolation
However, in cases where the signal has a non-uniform or staggered PRI the frequency
axis must be interpreted with caution. In cases where the pulses only occur in non-con-
tiguous intervals, using the PRI no longer provides useful results. A good solution to
create equidistant samples for calculation is to "fill up" the intervals between pulses
with interpolated values. Based on the measured and interpolated values, the fre-
quency axis can then be created.
The number of possible interpolation values is restricted to 100,000 by the R&S FSV3
Pulse application . Thus, the resulting spectrum is limited. By default, the frequency

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 49

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurement basics
Parameter spectrum calculation

span for the resulting spectrum is determined automatically. However, to improve the
accuracy (and performance) of the interpolation, the maximum required frequency
span can be restricted further manually.

Non-contiguous pulses - sections vs gaps

For the non-contiguous pulse measurements described above, interpolation in the long
intervals where no pulses occur distort the result. Therefore, time intervals without pul-
ses are identified, referred to as gaps. The time intervals that contain pulses are also
identified, referred to as sections. Interpolation is then performed only on the sections,
whereas the gaps are ignored for the spectrum calculation.
A gap threshold ensures that pulses with large intervals are not split into multiple sec-
tions. A section threshold ensures that singular pulses within a long gap are not inclu-
ded in calculation.

Example: Non-contiguous pulse measurement

A typical measurement setup that results in non-contiguous pulses is a rotating radar
antenna scanning the air. For most of the time required for a single rotation, no pulses
are received. However, when an object comes within the scan area, several pulses are
detected within a short duration in time (identified as a section). When the object
leaves the scan area again, the pulses will stop, defining a gap until the next object is
detected.

Blocks
Spectrum calculation is then performed for the individual sections only. However, the
Fourier transformation is not performed on the entire section in one step. Each section
is split into blocks, which can overlap. An FFT is performed on each block to calculate
an individual result. The smaller the block size, the more individual results are calcula-
ted, and the more precise the final result. Thus, the block size determines the resolu-
tion bandwidth in the final spectrum. Note that while the block size can be defined
manually, the RBW cannot.

Window functions
Each block with its measured and interpolated values is multiplied with a specific win-
dow function. Windowing helps minimize the discontinuities at the end of the measured
signal interval and thus reduces the effect of spectral leakage, increasing the fre-
quency resolution.
Various different window functions are provided in the R&S FSV3 Pulse application.
Each of the window functions has specific characteristics, including some advantages
and some trade-offs. Consider these characteristics carefully to find the optimum solu-
tion for the measurement task.

Segmented data capturing

Figure 4-4: Calculating a parameter spectrum for non-contiguous pulses

4.4 Segmented data capturing

As described above, measuring pulses with a varying repetition interval is a common
task in the R&S FSV3 Pulse application. Pulses to be measured can have a relatively
short duration compared to the repetition interval (low duty cycle). Performing a mea-
surement over a long time period can lead to large volumes of data with only minor
parts of it being relevant. Thus, a new segmented data capturing function has been
introduced. Using this function, the input signal is measured for the entire time span,
which can be very long; however, only user-defined segments of the data are actually
stored on the R&S FSV/A. Thus, much less data, and only relevant data, needs to be
analyzed. Analyzing pulses becomes much quicker and more efficient.
Although segmented data capturing is similar to the common gated trigger method for
data acquisition, there is a significant difference: absolute timing information is provi-
ded for the entire acquisition, in addition to the samples within the gating intervals. Fur-

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurement basics
Segmented data capturing

thermore, pretrigger information for the pulses within a segment is available, as

opposed to gates that are triggered by a rising or falling edge, and do not provide pre-
trigger data.

Trigger and trigger offset

A precondition for segmented data capturing is a trigger, as the segment definition is
based on the trigger event. A specified trigger offset is applied to each segment, thus
allowing for pretrigger data to be included in the segment. Furthermore, the length of
each segment (that is: the measurement time for an individual segment) must be
defined such that the longest expected pulse can be captured in one segment. Finally,
the number of trigger events for which data is to be captured can be defined.

Measurement time
If segmented capturing is active, the total measurement time is defined by the number
of trigger events and the segment length. Thus, the Measurement Time setting in the
"Data Acquisition" dialog box is not available.
A process indicator in the status bar shows the progress of the measurement if seg-
mented capturing is used.

Alignment based on trigger event

Since segment definition is based on the trigger event, this event can also be used as
a reference point for the measurement point and result range definition (see Chap-
ter 5.9.2, "Measurement point", on page 94 and "Alignment" on page 101).
To align the measurement point to a trigger event on a per-pulse basis, the R&S FSV3
Pulse application needs to associate one trigger event with each measured pulse. The
following rule applies to both power and external trigger sources:
● Trigger source - rising slope: The pulse whose rising edge is closest to the trigger
event is associated
● Trigger source - falling slope: The pulse whose falling edge is closest to the trigger
event is associated

Number of events vs number of segments

Generally, the number of trigger events corresponds to the number of captured seg-
ments. However, sometimes, multiple trigger events can occur within a time interval
shorter than the specified segment length. Thus, the segments for the individual trigger
events overlap. In this case, the overlapping segments are merged together and the
number of segments is lower than the number of trigger events.

Result displays for segmented data

The "Magnitude Capture" display provides an overview of the entire measurement.
However, for segmented data, the time span can be very long, whereas the relevant
signal segments can be relatively short. Thus, to improve clarity, the display is com-
pressed to eliminate the gaps between the captured segments. The segment ranges

are indicated by vertical lines. Between two segments, the gap can be compressed in
the display. The time span indicated for the x-axis in the diagram footer is only up-to-
date when the measurement is completed. (See also "Magnitude Capture"
on page 32.)
Markers "jump" over the gaps, but indicate the correct absolute time within the seg-
ments.
This compressed time-axis display is also used for the pulse-based results.
The result tables are identical for segmented or full data capture.

Timestamps vs. sample number

As mentioned above, timing information is available for the entire measurement span,
not only for the captured data segments. Thus, the absolute time that each segment
starts at is available as a timestamp. On the other hand, only the data samples within
the specified segments are actually stored. The samples are indexed. Thus, in addition
to the timestamps, the start of a segment can also be referenced by the index number
of the first sample in the segment. This is useful, for example, when retrieving the cap-
tured segment data in remote operation. (See also TRACe<n>:IQ:SCAPture:
BOUNdary? on page 288.)
The timing information for the captured segments is also stored when the I/Q data is
exported. It can then be retrieved when the I/Q data is used as an input source to
reproduce results that are consistent with the original measurement.
(See Chapter 4.5, "Basics on input from I/Q data files", on page 55)

4.5 Basics on input from I/Q data files

The I/Q data to be evaluated in a particular R&S FSV/A application can not only be
captured by the application itself, it can also be loaded from a file, provided it has the
correct format. The file is then used as the input source for the application.
For example, you can capture I/Q data using the I/Q Analyzer application, store it to a
file, and then analyze the signal parameters for that data later using the Pulse applica-
tion (if available).
The I/Q data file must be in one of the following supported formats:
● .iq.tar
● .iqw
● .csv
● .mat
● .wv
● .aid
(For details, see the R&S FSV/A I/Q Analyzer and I/Q Input User Manual.)

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 55

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurement basics
Trace evaluation

Only a single data stream can be used as input, even if multiple streams are stored in
the file.

An application note on converting Rohde & Schwarz I/Q data files is available from the
Rohde & Schwarz website:
1EF85: Converting R&S I/Q data files

For I/Q file input, the stored I/Q data remains available as input for any number of sub-
sequent measurements. When the data is used as an input source, the data acquisi-
tion settings in the current application (attenuation, center frequency, measurement
bandwidth, sample rate) can be ignored. As a result, these settings cannot be changed
in the current application. Only the measurement time can be decreased, in order to
perform measurements on an extract of the available data (from the beginning of the
file) only.

For some file formats that do not provide the sample rate and measurement time or
record length, you must define these parameters manually. Otherwise the traces are
not visible in the result displays.

When using input from an I/Q data file, the [RUN SINGLE] function starts a single mea-
surement (i.e. analysis) of the stored I/Q data, while the [RUN CONT] function repeat-
edly analyzes the same data from the file.

Sample iq.tar files

If you have the optional R&S FSV/A VSA application (R&S FSV3-K70), some sample
iq.tar files are provided in the C:/R_S/Instr/user/vsa/DemoSignals directory
on the R&S FSV/A.

Pre-trigger and post-trigger samples

In applications that use pre-triggers or post-triggers, if no pre-trigger or post-trigger
samples are specified in the I/Q data file, or too few trigger samples are provided to
satisfy the requirements of the application, the missing pre- or post-trigger values are
filled up with zeros. Superfluous samples in the file are dropped, if necessary. For pre-
trigger samples, values are filled up or omitted at the beginning of the capture buffer,
for post-trigger samples, values are filled up or omitted at the end of the capture buffer.

4.6 Trace evaluation

Traces in graphical result displays based on the defined result range (see Chap-
ter 6.1.2, "Result range", on page 100) can be configured. For example, you can per-
form statistical evaluations over a defined number of measurements, pulses, or sam-
ples.

4.6.1 Trace statistics

Each trace represents an analysis of the data measured in one result range. Statistical
evaluations can be performed over several traces, that is, result ranges. Which ranges
and how many are evaluated depends on the configuration settings.

Selected pulse vs all pulses

The This is "Sweep/Average Count" ok? determines how many measurements are
evaluated.
For each measurement, in turn, either the selected pulse only (that is: one result
range), or all detected pulses (that is: possibly several result ranges) can be included
in the statistical evaluation.
Thus, the overall number of averaging steps depends on the This is "Sweep/Average
Count" ok? and the statistical evaluation mode.

4.6.2 Normalizing traces

For pulse results based on an individual pulse, sometimes, the absolute value is not of
interest. Instead, the relative offset of each point in the trace from a specific measure-
ment point within the pulse, or from a reference pulse, is of interest.

Normalization based on a measurement point

In a standard trace for a pulse result display, the measured frequency, magnitude, or
phase value for each measurement point in the result range is displayed. If only the rel-
ative deviations within that pulse are of interest, you can subtract a fixed value from
each trace point. The fixed value is the value measured at a specified point in the
pulse. Thus, the trace value at the specified measurement point is always 0. This hap-
pens when a trace is normalized based on the measured pulse.
The measurement point used for normalization is the same point used to determine the
pulse parameter results, see Chapter 5.9.2, "Measurement point", on page 94.

Figure 4-8: Normalization of the Pulse Phase trace based on the measured pulse

By default, the measurement point is the center of the pulse. However, this position
can be moved arbitrarily within the pulse by defining an offset.
If the measurement point is defined with an offset in time, the trace value does not
pass 0 at the measurement point. It passes 0 at the time of the measurement point +
the offset value.

Figure 4-9: Normalization of the Pulse Phase trace based on the measured pulse + 100 ns offset

Normalization + averaging window

Together with an Averaging Window for the measurement point, normalization based
on the measured pulse can provide for a very stable pulse trace. However, the calcula-
ted average value does not always coincide with the measured trace point value. So in
this case, the maxhold, minhold or average traces do not necessarily pass 0 at the
measurement point.

R&S®FSV3-K6 Measurement basics
Trace evaluation

Normalization based on a reference pulse

Sometimes you are not interested in the deviations of the pulse results within a single
pulse, but rather in the deviations to a reference pulse. Then you can also base nor-
malization on the measurement point of a specified reference pulse. In this case, the
trace value for the measurement point in the reference pulse is deducted from all trace
values in the measured pulse.

Figure 4-11: Normalization based on a reference pulse

Note that in this case, the value at the measurement point used to determine pulse
parameter results is also normalized. Thus, normalization based on a reference pulse
modifies the results in the Pulse Results and "Pulse Statistics" on page 42 tables! The
pulse parameter values in the pulse tables for the (normalized) reference pulse are
always 0.
However, as opposed to normalization based on a measured pulse, the pulse-to-pulse
deviations are maintained when normalized to a reference pulse.

The reference pulse can be defined as one of the following:

● A fixed pulse number
● The currently selected pulse
● A previous (-n) or subsequent (+n) pulse, relative to the currently evaluated pulse

Normalization of pulse phase traces

Phase traces for an individual pulse can be normalized just like magnitude and fre-
quency traces, as described above. However, you can also define a phase offset. In
this case, the pulses are not normalized to 0, but to the phase offset value. The phase
measured at a specified point in the reference or measured pulse, plus the phase off-
set, is subtracted from each trace point.

Pulse measurements require a special application on the R&S FSV/A.
When you activate the Pulse application the first time, a set of parameters is passed on
from the currently active application. After initial setup, the parameters for the mea-
surement channel are stored upon exiting and restored upon re-entering the channel.
Thus, you can switch between applications quickly and easily.
When you activate the Pulse application, a pulse measurement for the input signal is
started automatically with the default configuration. The "Pulse" menu is displayed and
provides access to the most important configuration functions.

Automatic refresh of results after configuration changes

The R&S FSV/A supports you in finding the correct measurement settings quickly and
easily - after each change in settings, the measurements are repeated and the result
displays are updated immediately and automatically to reflect the changes. You do not
need to refresh the display manually. Thus, you can see if the setting is appropriate or
not directly through the transparent dialog boxes.

RF Input Protection
The RF input connector of the R&S FSV/A must be protected against signal levels that
exceed the ranges specified in the data sheet. Therefore, the R&S FSV/A is equipped
with an overload protection mechanism for DC and signal frequencies up to 30 MHz.
This mechanism becomes active as soon as the power at the input mixer exceeds the
specified limit. It ensures that the connection between RF input and input mixer is cut
off.
When the overload protection is activated, an error message is displayed in the status
bar ("INPUT OVLD"), and a message box informs you that the RF input was discon-
nected. Furthermore, a status bit (bit 3) in the STAT:QUES:POW status register is set.
In this case, you must decrease the level at the RF input connector and then close the
message box. Then measurement is possible again. Reactivating the RF input is also
possible via the remote command INPut:ATTenuation:PROTection:RESet.

Input Coupling
The RF input of the R&S FSV/A can be coupled by alternating current (AC) or direct
current (DC).
AC coupling blocks any DC voltage from the input signal. AC coupling is activated by
default to prevent damage to the instrument. Very low frequencies in the input signal
can be distorted.
However, some specifications require DC coupling. In this case, you must protect the
instrument from damaging DC input voltages manually. For details, refer to the data
sheet.
Remote command:

Impedance
For some measurements, the reference impedance for the measured levels of the
R&S FSV/A can be set to 50 Ω or 75 Ω.
Select 75 Ω if the 50 Ω input impedance is transformed to a higher impedance using a
75 Ω adapter of the RAZ type. (That corresponds to 25Ω in series to the input impe-
dance of the instrument.) The correction value in this case is 1.76 dB = 10 log (75Ω/
50Ω).
Remote command:
INPut<ip>:IMPedance on page 156

Direct Path
Enables or disables the use of the direct path for small frequencies.
In spectrum analyzers, passive analog mixers are used for the first conversion of the
input signal. In such mixers, the LO signal is coupled into the IF path due to its limited
isolation. The coupled LO signal becomes visible at the RF frequency 0 Hz. This effect
is referred to as LO feedthrough.
To avoid the LO feedthrough the spectrum analyzer provides an alternative signal path
to the A/D converter, referred to as the direct path. By default, the direct path is
selected automatically for RF frequencies close to zero. However, this behavior can be
disabled. If "Direct Path" is set to "Off", the spectrum analyzer always uses the analog
mixer path.
"Auto" (Default) The direct path is used automatically for frequencies close
to zero.
"Off" The analog mixer path is always used.

Input and output settings

An internal YIG-preselector at the input of the R&S FSV/A ensures that image frequen-
cies are rejected. However, image rejection is only possible for a restricted bandwidth.
To use the maximum bandwidth for signal analysis, you can disable the YIG-preselec-
tor at the input of the R&S FSV/A, which can lead to image-frequency display.
Note: Note that the YIG-preselector is active only on frequencies greater than
7.5 GHz. Therefore, switching the YIG-preselector on or off has no effect if the fre-
quency is below that value.
For frequencies above 50 GHz (requires option R&S FSV3-B54G, for R&S FSVA3050
only), the YIG-preselector is automatically switched off (internally, not indicated in the
display). In this case, image frequencies can occur, as specified in the data sheet.

Noise Source Control

Enables or disables the 28 V voltage supply for an external noise source connected to
the "Noise source control / Power sensor") connector. By switching the supply voltage
for an external noise source on or off in the firmware, you can enable or disable the
device as required.
External noise sources are useful when you are measuring power levels that fall below
the noise floor of the R&S FSV/A itself, for example when measuring the noise level of
an amplifier.
In this case, you can first connect an external noise source (whose noise power level is
known in advance) to the R&S FSV/A and measure the total noise power. From this
value, you can determine the noise power of the R&S FSV/A. Then when you measure
the power level of the actual DUT, you can deduct the known noise level from the total
power to obtain the power level of the DUT.

Frequency Offset
Shifts the displayed frequency range along the x-axis by the defined offset.
This parameter has no effect on the instrument's hardware, on the captured data, or on
data processing. It is simply a manipulation of the final results in which absolute fre-
quency values are displayed. Thus, the x-axis of a spectrum display is shifted by a
constant offset if it shows absolute frequencies. However, if it shows frequencies rela-
tive to the signal's center frequency, it is not shifted.
A frequency offset can be used to correct the display of a signal that is slightly distorted
by the measurement setup, for example.
The allowed values range from -1 THz to 1 THz. The default setting is 0 Hz.

Reference Level
Defines the expected maximum input signal level. Signal levels above this value are
possibly not measured correctly, which is indicated by the "IF Overload" status display.
Defines the expected maximum reference level. Signal levels above this value are pos-
sibly not measured correctly. Signals above the reference level are indicated by an "IF
Overload" status display.
The reference level can also be used to scale power diagrams; the reference level is
then used for the calculation of the maximum on the y-axis.
Since the hardware of the R&S FSV/A is adapted according to this value, it is recom-
mended that you set the reference level close above the expected maximum signal
level. Thus you ensure an optimal measurement (no compression, good signal-to-
noise ratio).
Remote command:
DISPlay[:WINDow<n>][:SUBWindow<w>]:TRACe<t>:Y[:SCALe]:RLEVel
on page 163

Shifting the Display (Offset) ← Reference Level

Defines an arithmetic level offset. This offset is added to the measured level. In some
result displays, the scaling of the y-axis is changed accordingly.
Define an offset if the signal is attenuated or amplified before it is fed into the
R&S FSV/A so the application shows correct power results. All displayed power level
results are shifted by this value.
The setting range is ±200 dB in 0.01 dB steps.
Note, however, that the internal reference level (used to adjust the hardware settings to
the expected signal) ignores any "Reference Level Offset". Thus, it is important to keep
in mind the actual power level the R&S FSV/A must handle. Do not rely on the dis-
played reference level (internal reference level = displayed reference level - offset).

RF Attenuation
Defines the mechanical attenuation for RF input.

Attenuation Mode / Value ← RF Attenuation

Defines the attenuation applied to the RF input of the R&S FSV/A.
The RF attenuation can be set automatically as a function of the selected reference
level (Auto mode). Automatic attenuation ensures that no overload occurs at the RF
Input connector for the current reference level. It is the default setting.
By default and when no (optional) electronic attenuation is available, mechanical
attenuation is applied.

In "Manual" mode, you can set the RF attenuation in 1 dB steps (down to 0 dB). Other
entries are rounded to the next integer value. The range is specified in the data sheet.
If the defined reference level cannot be set for the defined RF attenuation, the refer-
ence level is adjusted accordingly and the warning "limit reached" is displayed.
NOTICE! Risk of hardware damage due to high power levels. When decreasing the
attenuation manually, ensure that the power level does not exceed the maximum level
allowed at the RF input, as an overload can lead to hardware damage.

Using Electronic Attenuation

If the (optional) Electronic Attenuation hardware is installed on the R&S FSV/A, you
can also activate an electronic attenuator.
In "Auto" mode, the settings are defined automatically; in "Manual" mode, you can
define the mechanical and electronic attenuation separately.
Note: Electronic attenuation is not available for stop frequencies (or center frequencies
in zero span) above 7 GHz.
In "Auto" mode, RF attenuation is provided by the electronic attenuator as much as
possible to reduce the amount of mechanical switching required. Mechanical attenua-
tion can provide a better signal-to-noise ratio, however.
When you switch off electronic attenuation, the RF attenuation is automatically set to
the same mode (auto/manual) as the electronic attenuation was set to. Thus, the RF
attenuation can be set to automatic mode, and the full attenuation is provided by the
mechanical attenuator, if possible.
The electronic attenuation can be varied in 1 dB steps. If the electronic attenuation is
on, the mechanical attenuation can be varied in 5 dB steps. Other entries are rounded
to the next lower integer value.
If the defined reference level cannot be set for the given attenuation, the reference
level is adjusted accordingly and the warning "limit reached" is displayed in the status
bar.

You can use a preamplifier to analyze signals from DUTs with low output power.
For R&S FSV/A, the following settings are available:
"Off" Deactivates the preamplifier.

"15 dB" The RF input signal is amplified by about 15 dB.

"30 dB" The RF input signal is amplified by about 30 dB.
For R&S FSV/A44 models, the preamplifier is only available under the following condi-
tions:
● In zero span, the maximum center frequency is 43.5 GHz
● For frequency spans, the maximum stop frequency is 43.5 GHz
● For I/Q measurements, the maximum center frequency depends on the analysis
bandwidth:
fcenter ≤ 43.5 GHz - (<Analysis_bw> / 2)
If any of the conditions no longer apply after you change a setting, the preamplifier is
automatically deactivated.

Input Coupling ← Input Settings

The RF input of the R&S FSV/A can be coupled by alternating current (AC) or direct
current (DC).
AC coupling blocks any DC voltage from the input signal. AC coupling is activated by
default to prevent damage to the instrument. Very low frequencies in the input signal
can be distorted.
However, some specifications require DC coupling. In this case, you must protect the
instrument from damaging DC input voltages manually. For details, refer to the data
sheet.
Remote command:

Ext. PA Correction ← Input Settings

This function is only available if an external preamplifier is connected to the
R&S FSV/A, and only for frequencies above 1 GHz. For details on connection, see the
preamplifier's documentation.
Using an external preamplifier, you can measure signals from devices under test with
low output power, using measurement devices which feature a low sensitivity and do
not have a built-in RF preamplifier.
When you connect the external preamplifier, the R&S FSV/A reads out the touchdown
(.S2P) file from the EEPROM of the preamplifier. This file contains the s-parameters of
the preamplifier. As soon as you connect the preamplifier to the R&S FSV/A, the pre-
amplifier is permanently on and ready to use. However, you must enable data correc-
tion based on the stored data explicitly on the R&S FSV/A using this setting.
When enabled, the R&S FSV/A automatically compensates the magnitude and phase
characteristics of the external preamplifier in the measurement results. Any internal
preamplifier, if available, is disabled.
When disabled, no compensation is performed even if an external preamplifier remains
connected.

"Gauss" Filter with optimized settling behavior (default)

Note: For Gaussian filters whose -3dB bandwidth is large compared
to the maximum I/Q bandwidth, the ideal Gaussian filter shape would
exceed the maximum I/Q bandwidth at its outer edges. Thus, the
actual filter only follows the ideal Gaussian filter shape in the inner
range of the set I/Q bandwidth. At a certain frequency offset it must
deviate from the ideal Gauss filter and drop off faster.
For details see Chapter B, "Effects of large gauss filters",
on page 365.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]BWIDth:DEMod:TYPE on page 176

Measurement Bandwidth
The measurement bandwidth is defined by the used filter and the sample rate. Either a
flat or a Gauss filter are available. For information on supported sample rates and filter
bandwidths see the data sheet.
Note: If the input source is an I/Q data file, the measurement bandwidth cannot be
changed.
For details, see Chapter 4.5, "Basics on input from I/Q data files", on page 55.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]BANDwidth:DEMod on page 176

Sample rate
The sample rate for I/Q data acquisition is indicated for reference only. It is calculated
from the defined measurement bandwidth and measurement time, or taken from the
I/Q data input file.

Measurement Time
Defines how long data is captured for analysis ("Meas Time"), or how many samples
are captured in each record ("Record Length").
Note: If the input source is an I/Q data file, the measurement time can only be
decreased, in order to perform measurements on an extract of the available data (from
the beginning of the file) only.
For details, see Chapter 4.5, "Basics on input from I/Q data files", on page 55.
The maximum measurement time in the R&S FSV3 Pulse application is limited only by
the available memory ("memory limit reached" message is shown in status bar). Note,
however, that increasing the measurement time (and thus reducing the available mem-
ory space) may restrict the number of measurement channels that can be activated
simultaneously on the R&S FSV/A.

Long Capture Buffer

The long capture buffer provides functionality to use the full I/Q memory depth of the
R&S FSV/A for data acquisition.
The following settings are possible:
● Off: This is the default setting. Only the standard I/Q memory capacity of the
R&S FSV/A is used. The available I/Q memory capacity is shared by all measure-
ment channels.
● On: The long capture buffer is activated permanently. A data capture in a different
measurement channel will overwrite and invalidate the acquired I/Q data. A red
"IQ" icon in the channel tab indicates that the results for the channel no longer
match the data currently in the capture buffer.
● Auto: The long capture buffer is activated in case that the record length exceeds
the amount of data which can be acquired within the standard memory capacity of
the R&S FSV/A. If the record length decreases again, the long capture buffer is
deactivated automatically.

Continuous Sweep / Run Cont

After triggering, starts the sweep and repeats it continuously until stopped. This is the
default setting.
While the measurement is running, the "Continuous Sweep" softkey and the [RUN
CONT] key are highlighted. The running measurement can be aborted by selecting the
highlighted softkey or key again. The results are not deleted until a new measurement
is started.
Note: Sequencer. If the Sequencer is active, the "Continuous Sweep" softkey only con-
trols the sweep mode for the currently selected channel. However, the sweep mode
only takes effect the next time the Sequencer activates that channel, and only for a
channel-defined sequence. In this case, a channel in continuous sweep mode is swept
repeatedly.

If the Sequencer is active in MSRT mode, the "Continuous Sweep" function does not
start data capturing. It merely affects trace averaging over multiple sequences. In this
case, trace averaging is performed.
Furthermore, the [RUN CONT] key controls the Sequencer, not individual sweeps.
[RUN CONT] starts the Sequencer in continuous mode.
For details on the Sequencer, see the R&S FSV/A User Manual.
Remote command:

Single Sweep / Run Single

After triggering, starts the number of sweeps set in "Sweep Count". The measurement
stops after the defined number of sweeps has been performed.
While the measurement is running, the "Single Sweep" softkey and the [RUN SINGLE]
key are highlighted. The running measurement can be aborted by selecting the high-
lighted softkey or key again.
Note: Sequencer. If the Sequencer is active, the "Single Sweep" softkey only controls
the sweep mode for the currently selected channel. However, the sweep mode only
takes effect the next time the Sequencer activates that channel, and only for a chan-
nel-defined sequence. In this case, the Sequencer sweeps a channel in single sweep
mode only once.
Furthermore, the [RUN SINGLE] key controls the Sequencer, not individual sweeps.
[RUN SINGLE] starts the Sequencer in single mode.
If the Sequencer is off, only the evaluation for the currently displayed channel is upda-
ted.
For details on the Sequencer, see the R&S FSV/A User Manual.
Remote command:

Continue Single Sweep

After triggering, repeats the number of sweeps set in "Sweep Count", without deleting
the trace of the last measurement.
While the measurement is running, the "Continue Single Sweep" softkey and the [RUN
SINGLE] key are highlighted. The running measurement can be aborted by selecting
the highlighted softkey or key again.

Trace configuration

Traces in graphical result displays based on the defined result range (see Chap-
ter 6.1.2, "Result range", on page 100) can be configured, for example to perform stat-
istical evaluations over a defined number of measurements, pulses, or samples.
For details on trace evaluation see Chapter 4.6, "Trace evaluation", on page 56.

Trace data can also be exported to an ASCII file for further analysis. For details see
Chapter 6.5, "Trace / data export configuration", on page 128.

You can configure up to 6 individual traces for the following result displays (see Chap-
ter 6.1.2, "Result range", on page 100):
● "Pulse Frequency" on page 37
● "Pulse Magnitude" on page 38
● "Pulse Phase" on page 39

Trace Mode
Defines the update mode for subsequent traces.
"Clear/ Write" Overwrite mode (default): the trace is overwritten by each measure-
ment.
All available detectors can be selected.
"Max Hold" The maximum value is determined over several measurements and
displayed. The R&S FSV/A saves the measurement result in the
trace memory only if the new value is greater than the previous one.
"Min Hold" The minimum value is determined from several measurements and
displayed. The R&S FSV/A saves the measurement result in the
trace memory only if the new value is lower than the previous one.
"Average" The average is formed over several measurements.
The This is Sweep/Average Count ok? determines the number of
averaging procedures.
(See also Chapter 4.6.1, "Trace statistics", on page 57.)
"View" The current contents of the trace memory are frozen and displayed.
Note: If a trace is frozen, you can change the measurement settings,
apart from scaling settings, without impact on the displayed trace.
The fact that the displayed trace no longer matches the current mea-
surement settings is indicated by a yellow asterisk on the tab label.
If you change any parameters that affect the scaling of the diagram
axes, the R&S FSV/A automatically adapts the trace data to the
changed display range. Thus, you can zoom into the diagram after
the measurement to show details of the trace.
"Blank" Removes the selected trace from the display.
Remote command:
DISPlay[:WINDow<n>][:SUBWindow<w>]:TRACe<t>:MODE on page 267

Detector
Defines the trace detector to be used for trace analysis.
"Auto" (default:) Selects the optimum detector for the selected trace and fil-
ter mode
"Type" Defines the selected detector type.

Hold
If activated, traces in "Min Hold", "Max Hold" and "Average" mode are not reset after
specific parameter changes have been made.
Normally, the measurement is started again after parameter changes, before the mea-
surement results are analyzed (e.g. using a marker). In all cases that require a new
measurement after parameter changes, the trace is reset automatically to avoid false
results (e.g. with span changes). For applications that require no reset after parameter
changes, the automatic reset can be switched off.
The default setting is off.

If the trace modes "Average", "Max Hold" or "Min Hold" are set, you can define how
many pulses, measurements and measurement samples are included in the statistical
evaluation.
For details see Chapter 4.6.1, "Trace statistics", on page 57.

Selected Pulse vs All Pulses ← Statistical Evaluation

Defines which pulses are included in the statistical evaluation.

This is Sweep/Average Count ok? ← Statistical Evaluation

Defines the number of measurements to be performed in the single sweep mode.

Maximum number of trace points ← Statistical Evaluation

If the number of samples within the result range (see Chapter 6.1.2, "Result range",
on page 100) is larger than this value, the trace data is reduced to the defined maxi-
mum number of trace points using the selected detector.

How to configure a limit check for a pulse measurement

11. Select the "Result Config" button in the "Overview" to configure which data is dis-
played in the individual result displays, and other settings for specific evaluation
methods. These settings are window-specific, so select the window before you
configure the settings.
● Define the "Result Range", which determines the extent of measured data dis-
played in "pulse magnitude", frequency and phase vs time traces.
● Configure specific settings for the selected evaluation methods.
● Configure a limit check (see "To configure a limit check for a pulse measure-
ment" on page 139).
● Configure markers and delta markers to determine deviations and offsets within
the results, e.g. when comparing errors or peaks.
● Adapt the diagram scaling to the displayed data.
● Optionally, configure the trace to display the average over a series of sweeps.
If necessary, increase the "Sweep/Average Count" in the "Sweep Config" dia-
log box.

12. Stop the continuous sweep and start a new sweep with the new configuration (e.g.
using the [RUN SINGLE] key).

13. Press the "Selected Pulse" softkey and select a specific pulse to be evaluated.
The result displays are updated to show the results for the selected pulse.

8.2 How to configure a limit check for a pulse measure-

ment

To configure a limit check for a pulse measurement

Measurement results can be checked against defined limits and the results of the limit
check can then be indicated in the Result Table. This procedure assumes a standard
pulse measurement has been defined (as described in "To perform a standard pulse
measurement" on page 138) and a Result Table display is active.
1. Select the "Result Config" button in the "Overview".

2. If necessary, select the Result Table from the "Specifics for" list of windows.

3. Switch to the "Table Config" tab, then select the "Limits" tab.

4. Select the parameter for which you want to perform a limit check.
For details on available parameters and parameter groups, see Chapter 3.1, "Pulse
parameters", on page 17.

5. Toggle the "Limit On/Off" setting to "On".

6. Define the lower or upper limit value, or both.

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 139

R&S®FSV3-K6 How to perform measurements in the pulse application
How to export table data

7. Repeat step 4 to step 6 for each parameter you want to perform a limit check on.
The measured values and all newly measured values for the specified parameter
are compared to the defined limit values.
If the measured value remains above the lower limit and below the upper limit, it is
displayed in green in the Result Table.
If the measured value exceeds either limit value, it is displayed in red in the Result
Table.

Changing the limit values graphically

Limit lines can also be displayed in "Parameter Trend" or "Parameter Distribution"
result displays ("Result Config" > "Parameter" tab > "Display Limit Lines").
You can drag these limit lines to a new position in the window. The new position is
maintained, the limit check is repeated, and the results of the limit check in any active
table displays are adapted.

To deactivate a limit check

1. Select the "Result Config" button in the "Overview".

2. If necessary, select the Result Table from the "Specifics for" list of windows.

3. Switch to the "Table Config" tab, then select the "Limits" tab.

4. ● To deactivate the limit check for a single parameter, select the parameter and
toggle the "Limit On/Off" setting to "Off".
● To deactivate the limit check for an entire parameter group, select "Turn off all
limits in group".
● To deactivate the limit check for all parameters in all parameter groups, select
"Turn off limits".

8.3 How to export table data

The measured result table data can be exported to an ASCII file. For each parameter,
the measured values are output.
For details on the storage format, see Chapter A, "Reference: ASCII file export format",
on page 363.
Table data can be exported either from the "Result Configuration" dialog box, or from
the "Save/Recall" menu.

To export from the "Save/Recall" menu

1. Select an active result table whose data you want to export.

2. Select the "Save" icon in the toolbar.

3. Select the "Export" softkey.

Introduction

9 Remote commands for pulse measure-

ments
The following commands are required to perform measurements in the Pulse applica-
tion in a remote environment. The R&S FSV/A must already be set up for remote oper-
ation in a network as described in the base unit manual.

Note that basic tasks that are also performed in the base unit in the same way are not
described here. For a description of such tasks, see the R&S FSV/A User Manual.
In particular, this includes:
● Managing Settings and Results, i.e. storing and loading settings and result data
● Basic instrument configuration, e.g. checking the system configuration, customizing
the screen layout, or configuring networks and remote operation
● Using the common status registers (specific status registers for Pulse measure-
ments are not used)

After a short introduction, the tasks specific to the Pulse application are described
here:

9.1 Introduction
Commands are program messages that a controller (e.g. a PC) sends to the instru-
ment or software. They operate its functions ('setting commands' or 'events') and

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 142

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Introduction

request information ('query commands'). Some commands can only be used in one
way, others work in two ways (setting and query). If not indicated otherwise, the com-
mands can be used for settings and queries.
The syntax of a SCPI command consists of a header and, usually, one or more param-
eters. To use a command as a query, you have to append a question mark after the
last header element, even if the command contains a parameter.
A header contains one or more keywords, separated by a colon. Header and parame-
ters are separated by a "white space" (ASCII code 0 to 9, 11 to 32 decimal, e.g. blank).
If there is more than one parameter for a command, they are separated by a comma
from one another.
Only the most important characteristics that you need to know when working with SCPI
commands are described here. For a more complete description, refer to the user
manual of the R&S FSV/A.

Remote command examples

Note that some remote command examples mentioned in this general introduction are
possibly not supported by this particular application.

9.1.1 Conventions used in descriptions

The following conventions are used in the remote command descriptions:

● Command usage
If not specified otherwise, commands can be used both for setting and for querying
parameters.
If a command can be used for setting or querying only, or if it initiates an event, the
usage is stated explicitly.
● Parameter usage
If not specified otherwise, a parameter can be used to set a value and it is the
result of a query.
Parameters required only for setting are indicated as Setting parameters.
Parameters required only to refine a query are indicated as Query parameters.
Parameters that are only returned as the result of a query are indicated as Return
values.
● Conformity
Commands that are taken from the SCPI standard are indicated as SCPI con-
firmed. All commands used by the R&S FSV/A follow the SCPI syntax rules.
● Asynchronous commands
A command which does not automatically finish executing before the next com-
mand starts executing (overlapping command) is indicated as an Asynchronous
command.
● Reset values (*RST)
Default parameter values that are used directly after resetting the instrument (*RST
command) are indicated as *RST values, if available.
● Default unit

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 143

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Introduction

The default unit is used for numeric values if no other unit is provided with the
parameter.
● Manual operation
If the result of a remote command can also be achieved in manual operation, a link
to the description is inserted.

9.1.2 Long and short form

The keywords have a long and a short form. You can use either the long or the short
form, but no other abbreviations of the keywords.
The short form is emphasized in uppercase letters. Note however, that this emphasis
only serves the purpose to distinguish the short from the long form in the manual. For
the instrument, the case does not matter.

Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer is the same as SENS:FREQ:CENT.

9.1.3 Numeric suffixes

Some keywords have a numeric suffix if the command can be applied to multiple
instances of an object. In that case, the suffix selects a particular instance (e.g. a mea-
surement window).
Numeric suffixes are indicated by angular brackets (<n>) next to the keyword.
If you do not quote a suffix for keywords that support one, a 1 is assumed.

Example:
DISPlay[:WINDow<1...4>]:ZOOM:STATe enables the zoom in a particular mea-
surement window, selected by the suffix at WINDow.
DISPlay:WINDow4:ZOOM:STATe ON refers to window 4.

9.1.4 Optional keywords

Some keywords are optional and are only part of the syntax because of SCPI compli-
ance. You can include them in the header or not.

If an optional keyword has a numeric suffix and you need to use the suffix, you have to
include the optional keyword. Otherwise, the suffix of the missing keyword is assumed
to be the value 1.

Optional keywords are emphasized with square brackets.

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 144

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Introduction

Example:
Without a numeric suffix in the optional keyword:
[SENSe:]FREQuency:CENTer is the same as FREQuency:CENTer
With a numeric suffix in the optional keyword:
DISPlay[:WINDow<1...4>]:ZOOM:STATe
DISPlay:ZOOM:STATe ON enables the zoom in window 1 (no suffix).
DISPlay:WINDow4:ZOOM:STATe ON enables the zoom in window 4.

9.1.5 Alternative keywords

A vertical stroke indicates alternatives for a specific keyword. You can use both key-
words to the same effect.

Example:
[SENSe:]BANDwidth|BWIDth[:RESolution]
In the short form without optional keywords, BAND 1MHZ would have the same effect
as BWID 1MHZ.

9.1.6 SCPI parameters

Many commands feature one or more parameters.

If a command supports more than one parameter, they are separated by a comma.

Example:
LAYout:ADD:WINDow Spectrum,LEFT,MTABle

Parameters can have different forms of values.

● Numeric values..................................................................................................... 145
● Boolean.................................................................................................................146
● Character data...................................................................................................... 147
● Character strings...................................................................................................147
● Block data............................................................................................................. 147

9.1.6.1 Numeric values

Numeric values can be entered in any form, i.e. with sign, decimal point or exponent.
For physical quantities, you can also add the unit. If the unit is missing, the command
uses the basic unit.

Example:
With unit: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 1GHZ
Without unit: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 1E9 would also set a frequency of 1 GHz.

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 145

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Introduction

Values exceeding the resolution of the instrument are rounded up or down.

If the number you have entered is not supported (e.g. for discrete steps), the command
returns an error.
Instead of a number, you can also set numeric values with a text parameter in special
cases.
● MIN/MAX
Defines the minimum or maximum numeric value that is supported.
● DEF
Defines the default value.
● UP/DOWN
Increases or decreases the numeric value by one step. The step size depends on
the setting. Sometimes, you can customize the step size with a corresponding
command.

Querying numeric values

When you query numeric values, the system returns a number. For physical quantities,
it applies the basic unit (e.g. Hz for frequencies). The number of digits after the decimal
point depends on the type of numeric value.

Example:
Setting: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer 1GHZ
Query: SENSe:FREQuency:CENTer? would return 1E9

Sometimes, numeric values are returned as text.

● INF/NINF
Infinity or negative infinity. Represents the numeric values 9.9E37 or -9.9E37.
● NAN
Not a number. Represents the numeric value 9.91E37. NAN is returned if errors
occur.

9.1.6.2 Boolean

Boolean parameters represent two states. The "on" state (logically true) is represented
by "ON" or the numeric value 1. The "off" state (logically untrue) is represented by
"OFF" or the numeric value 0.

Querying Boolean parameters

When you query Boolean parameters, the system returns either the value 1 ("ON") or
the value 0 ("OFF").

Example:
Setting: DISPlay:WINDow:ZOOM:STATe ON
Query: DISPlay:WINDow:ZOOM:STATe? would return 1

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 146

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Common suffixes

9.1.6.3 Character data

Character data follows the syntactic rules of keywords. You can enter text using a short
or a long form. For more information, see Chapter 9.1.2, "Long and short form",
on page 144.

Querying text parameters

When you query text parameters, the system returns its short form.

Example:
Setting: SENSe:BANDwidth:RESolution:TYPE NORMal
Query: SENSe:BANDwidth:RESolution:TYPE? would return NORM

9.1.6.4 Character strings

Strings are alphanumeric characters. They have to be in straight quotation marks. You
can use a single quotation mark ( ' ) or a double quotation mark ( " ).

Example:
INSTRument:DELete 'Spectrum'

9.1.6.5 Block data

Block data is a format which is suitable for the transmission of large amounts of data.
The ASCII character # introduces the data block. The next number indicates how many
of the following digits describe the length of the data block. The data bytes follow. Dur-
ing the transmission of these data bytes, all end or other control signs are ignored until
all bytes are transmitted. #0 specifies a data block of indefinite length. The use of the
indefinite format requires an NL^END message to terminate the data block. This format
is useful when the length of the transmission is not known or if speed or other consid-
erations prevent segmentation of the data into blocks of definite length.

9.2 Common suffixes

In the R&S FSV3 Pulse application, the following common suffixes are used in remote
commands:

Signal description

SENSe:TRACe:MEASurement:DEFine:FREQuency:OFFSet <Offset>
For SENSe:TRACe:MEASurement:DEFine:FREQuency:OFFSet:AUTO OFF, this
command defines the value to use when calculating pulse frequency and phase error
on a pulse-by-pulse basis. The same value is used for all pulses. Note that compensa-
tion for a frequency offset is reflected in the pulse frequency/phase error results, but
does not alter the original I/Q data or the pulse frequency/phase trace displays.
Parameters:
<Offset> *RST: 0
Default unit: HZ
Manual operation: See "Frequency Offset Value" on page 67

SENSe:TRACe:MEASurement:DEFine:FREQuency:OFFSet:AUTO <State>
If enabled, the frequency offset is considered when calculating the pulse frequency and
phase error on a pulse-by-pulse basis. A different value can be determined for each
pulse. Note that compensation for a frequency offset is reflected in the pulse fre-
quency/phase error results, but does not alter the original I/Q data or the pulse fre-
quency/phase trace displays.
Parameters:
<State> ON | OFF | 0 | 1
*RST: 1
Manual operation: See "Frequency Offset Auto Mode" on page 67

SENSe:TRACe:MEASurement:DEFine:FREQuency:RATE <PulseChirpRate>
Defines a known frequency chirp rate (in Hz/μs) to be used to generate an ideal pulse
waveform for computing frequency and phase error parameters. This value is assumed
constant for all measured pulses.
Use the SENSe:TRACe:MEASurement:DEFine:FREQuency:RATE:AUTO to define
the chirp rate automatically.
Parameters:
<PulseChirpRate> *RST: 0
Default unit: Hz/μs
Manual operation: See "Chirp Rate" on page 67

SENSe:TRACe:MEASurement:DEFine:FREQuency:RATE:AUTO <State>
If enabled, the chirp rate is estimated automatically for each individual pulse.

INPut:ATTenuation <Attenuation>
Defines the total attenuation for RF input.
If an electronic attenuator is available and active, the command defines a mechanical
attenuation (see INPut:EATT:STATe on page 167).
If you set the attenuation manually, it is no longer coupled to the reference level, but
the reference level is coupled to the attenuation. Thus, if the current reference level is
not compatible with an attenuation that has been set manually, the command also
adjusts the reference level.
Parameters:
<Attenuation> Range: see data sheet
Increment: 5 dB (with optional electr. attenuator: 1 dB)
*RST: 10 dB (AUTO is set to ON)
Default unit: DB
Example: INP:ATT 30dB
Defines a 30 dB attenuation and decouples the attenuation from
the reference level.
Manual operation: See "Attenuation Mode / Value" on page 75

INPut:ATTenuation:AUTO <State>
Couples or decouples the attenuation to the reference level. Thus, when the reference
level is changed, the R&S FSV/A determines the signal level for optimal internal data
processing and sets the required attenuation accordingly.
Parameters:
<State> ON | OFF | 0 | 1
*RST: 1
Example: INP:ATT:AUTO ON
Couples the attenuation to the reference level.
Manual operation: See "Attenuation Mode / Value" on page 75

INPut:EATT <Attenuation>
Defines an electronic attenuation manually. Automatic mode must be switched off
(INP:EATT:AUTO OFF, see INPut:EATT:AUTO on page 167).
If the current reference level is not compatible with an attenuation that has been set
manually, the command also adjusts the reference level.
Parameters:

[SENSe:]SWEep:TIME <Time>
Defines the measurement time. It automatically decouples the time from any other set-
tings.
The maximum measurement time in the R&S FSV3 Pulse application is limited only by
the available memory ("memory limit reached" message is shown in status bar). Note,
however, that increasing the measurement time (and thus reducing the available mem-
ory space) may restrict the number of measurement channels that can be activated
simultaneously on the R&S FSV/A.

*RST: depends on current settings (determined automati-
cally)
Default unit: S
Manual operation: See "Measurement Time" on page 86

TRACe:IQ:LCAPture <State>
The long capture buffer provides functionality to use the full I/Q memory depth of the
R&S FSV/A for data acquisition.
Parameters:
<State> AUTO | ON | OFF
AUTO
The long capture buffer is activated in case that the record
length exceeds the amount of data which can be acquired within
the standard memory capacity of the R&S FSV/A. If the record
length decreases again, the long capture buffer is deactivated
automatically.
ON
The long capture buffer is activated permanently. A data capture
in a different measurement channel will overwrite and invalidate
the acquired I/Q data. A red "IQ" icon in the channel tab indi-
cates that the results for the channel no longer match the data
currently in the capture buffer.
OFF
This is the default setting. Only the standard I/Q memory
capacity of the R&S FSV/A is used. The available I/Q memory
capacity is shared by all measurement channels.

9.12 Configuring and performing sweeps

When the Pulse application is activated, a continuous sweep is performed automati-
cally. However, you can stop and start a new measurement any time.
Furthermore, you can perform a sequence of measurements using the Sequencer (see
"Multiple Measurement Channels and Sequencer Function" on page 14).

ABORt
Aborts the measurement in the current channel and resets the trigger system.

User Manual 1178.9426.02 ─ 08 188

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Configuring and performing sweeps

To prevent overlapping execution of the subsequent command before the measure-

ment has been aborted successfully, use the *OPC? or *WAI command after ABOR and
before the next command.
For details on overlapping execution see Remote control via SCPI.
To abort a sequence of measurements by the Sequencer, use the INITiate:
SEQuencer:ABORt command.
Note on blocked remote control programs:
If a sequential command cannot be completed, for example because a triggered sweep
never receives a trigger, the remote control program will never finish and the remote
channel to the R&S FSV/A is blocked for further commands. In this case, you must
interrupt processing on the remote channel first in order to abort the measurement.
To do so, send a "Device Clear" command from the control instrument to the
R&S FSV/A on a parallel channel to clear all currently active remote channels.
Depending on the used interface and protocol, send the following commands:
● Visa: viClear()
Now you can send the ABORt command on the remote channel performing the mea-
surement.
Example: ABOR;:INIT:IMM
Aborts the current measurement and immediately starts a new
one.
Example: ABOR;*WAI
INIT:IMM
Aborts the current measurement and starts a new one once
abortion has been completed.
Usage: Event

INITiate<n>:CONMeas
Restarts a (single) measurement that has been stopped (using ABORt) or finished in
single measurement mode.
The measurement is restarted at the beginning, not where the previous measurement
was stopped.
Suffix: .
<n> irrelevant
Usage: Asynchronous command
Manual operation: See "Continue Single Sweep" on page 88

INITiate<n>:CONTinuous <State>
Controls the measurement mode for an individual channel.

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Configuring and performing sweeps

Note that in single measurement mode, you can synchronize to the end of the mea-
surement with *OPC, *OPC? or *WAI. In continuous measurement mode, synchroniza-
tion to the end of the measurement is not possible. Thus, it is not recommended that
you use continuous measurement mode in remote control, as results like trace data or
markers are only valid after a single measurement end synchronization.
For details on synchronization see Remote control via SCPI.
If the measurement mode is changed for a channel while the Sequencer is active (see
INITiate:SEQuencer:IMMediate on page 191), the mode is only considered the
next time the measurement in that channel is activated by the Sequencer.

groups and channels it contains.
Note: To synchronize to the end of a measurement sequence using *OPC, *OPC? or
*WAI, use SINGle Sequencer mode.
Parameters:
<Mode> SINGle
Each measurement group is started one after the other in the
order of definition. All measurement channels in a group are
started simultaneously and performed once. After all measure-
ments are completed, the next group is started. After the last
group, the measurement sequence is finished.
CONTinuous
Each measurement group is started one after the other in the
order of definition. All measurement channels in a group are
started simultaneously and performed once. After all measure-
ments are completed, the next group is started. After the last
group, the measurement sequence restarts with the first one and
continues until it is stopped explicitly.

For each parameter in the result tables you can activate a limit check and define the
valid value ranges. For details see "Pulse Results" on page 40.
Useful commands for configuring limit checks described elsewhere:
● CALCulate<n>:DISTribution:LLINes[:STATe] on page 198
● CALCulate<n>:TRENd:LLINes[:STATe] on page 219
For commands required to retrieve the results of the limit check for individual parame-
ters see Chapter 9.17.5, "Retrieving limit results", on page 345.

LAYout:SPLitter <Index1>, <Index2>, <Position>

Changes the position of a splitter and thus controls the size of the windows on each
side of the splitter.
Note that windows must have a certain minimum size. If the position you define con-
flicts with the minimum size of any of the affected windows, the command does not
work, but does not return an error.

Figure 9-1: SmartGrid coordinates for remote control of the splitters

Setting parameters:
<Index1> The index of one window the splitter controls.
<Index2> The index of a window on the other side of the splitter.
<Position> New vertical or horizontal position of the splitter as a fraction of
the screen area (without channel and status bar and softkey
menu).
The point of origin (x = 0, y = 0) is in the lower left corner of the
screen. The end point (x = 100, y = 100) is in the upper right cor-
ner of the screen. (See Figure 9-1.)
The direction in which the splitter is moved depends on the
screen layout. If the windows are positioned horizontally, the
splitter also moves horizontally. If the windows are positioned
vertically, the splitter also moves vertically.
Range: 0 to 100

The following commands are required to retrieve the calculated pulse parameters.
Note that for each pulse result query you can specify for which pulse(s) you require
results:
● ALL: for all pulses detected in the entire measurement
● CURRent: for all pulses in the current capture buffer
● SELected: only for the currently selected pulse
For each pulse result, you can query either the current value (default) or the following
statistical values for the pulses detected in the capture buffer or the entire measure-
ment:
● AVER: average of the results

9.17.1 Retrieving and storing trace data

In order to retrieve the trace results in a remote environment, use the following com-
mand:

TRACe<n>[:DATA]? <Trace>
This command queries the y-values in the selected result display. It is only available for
graphical displays.
For each trace point, the measured or calculated value is returned. For the Magnitude
Capture display, the maximum y-value for each trace point is returned.
The unit depends on the display and on the unit you have currently set.
Suffix: .

TRACe<n>[:DATA]:X? <Trace>
This remote control command returns the X values only for the trace in the selected
result display. Depending on the type of result display and the scaling of the x-axis, this
can be either the pulse number or a timestamp for each detected pulse in the capture
buffer.
Is only available for graphical displays, except for the Magnitude Capture display.
Suffix: .
<n> 1..n

Example: See Chapter 9.20, "Programming example: pulse measure-
ment", on page 355.
Usage: Query only

TRACe:IQ:DATA?
Initiates a measurement with the current settings and returns the captured data from
I/Q measurements.
Corresponds to:
INIT:IMM;*WAI;:TRACe:IQ:DATA:MEMory?
However, the TRACe:IQ:DATA? command is quicker in comparison.
Return values:
<Results> Measured voltage for I and Q component for each sample that
has been captured during the measurement.
Default unit: V
Example: TRAC:IQ:STAT ON
Enables acquisition of I/Q data
TRAC:IQ:SET NORM,10MHz,32MHz,EXT,POS,0,4096

R&S®FSV3-K6 Remote commands for pulse measurements
Retrieving results

Usage: Query only

TRACe:IQ:DATA:MEMory? [<OffsetSamples>,<NoOfSamples>]
Queries the I/Q data currently stored in the capture buffer of the R&S FSV/A.
By default, the command returns all I/Q data in the memory. You can, however, narrow
down the amount of data that the command returns using the optional parameters.
If no parameters are specified with the command, the entire trace data is retrieved.
In this case, the command returns the same results as TRACe:IQ:DATA?. (Note, how-
ever, that the TRAC:IQ:DATA? command initiates a new measurement before return-
ing the captured values, rather than returning the existing data in the memory.)
The command returns a comma-separated list of the measured values in floating point
format (comma-separated values = CSV). The number of values returned is 2 * the
number of complex samples.
The total number of complex samples is displayed in the channel bar in manual opera-
tion and can be calculated as:
<SampleRate> * <CaptureTime>
Query parameters:
<OffsetSamples> Selects an offset at which the output of data should start in rela-
tion to the first data. If omitted, all captured samples are output,
starting with the first sample.
Range: 0 to <# of samples> – 1, with <# of samples> being
the maximum number of captured values
*RST: 0
<NoOfSamples> Number of samples you want to query, beginning at the offset
you have defined. If omitted, all captured samples (starting at
offset) are output.
Range: 1 to <# of samples> - <offset samples> with <# of
samples> maximum number of captured values
*RST: <# of samples>
Return values:
<IQData> Measured value pair (I,Q) for each sample that has been recor-
ded.
The first half of the list contains the I values, the second half the
Q values.
The data format of the individual values depends on FORMat[:
DATA] on page 347.
Default unit: V

MMEMory:STORe<n>:TRACe <Trace>, <FileName>

Exports trace data from the specified window to an ASCII file.
For details on the file format, see Chapter A, "Reference: ASCII file export format",
on page 363.
Secure User Mode
In secure user mode, settings that are stored on the instrument are stored to volatile
memory, which is restricted to 256 MB. Thus, a "memory limit reached" error can occur
although the hard disk indicates that storage space is still available.
To store data permanently, select an external storage location such as a USB memory
device.
For details, see "Protecting Data Using the Secure User Mode" in the "Data Manage-
ment" section of the R&S FSV3000/ FSVA3000 base unit user manual.
Suffix: .

Parameters:
<Trace> Number of the trace to be stored
<FileName> String containing the path and name of the target file.
Example: MMEM:STOR1:TRAC 1,'C:\TEST.ASC'
Stores trace 1 from window 1 in the file TEST.ASC.

TRACe:IQ:TPISample?
Queries the time offset from the sample start to the trigger event (trigger point in sam-
ple = TPIS). Since the R&S FSV/A usually samples with a much higher sample rate
than the specific application actually requires, the trigger point determined internally is
much more precise than the one determined from the (downsampled) data in the appli-
cation. Thus, the TPIS indicates the offset from the sample start to the actual trigger
event.

R&S®FSV3-K6 Reference: ASCII file export format

A Reference: ASCII file export format

Trace data can be exported to a file in ASCII format for further evaluation in other appli-
cations
The file consists of the header containing important scaling parameters and a data sec-
tion containing the trace data.
Generally, the format of this ASCII file can be processed by spreadsheet calculation
programs, e.g. MS-Excel. Different language versions of evaluation programs may
require a different handling of the decimal point. Thus you can define the decimal sep-
arator to be used (decimal point or comma, see "Decimal Separator" on page 129).
The data of the file header consist of three columns, each separated by a semicolon:
parameter name; numeric value; basic unit. The data section starts with the two lines
containing the measured parameter names and units, followed by the measured data
in multiple columns (depending on measurement) which are also separated by a semi-
colon.

R&S®FSV3-K6 Effects of large gauss filters

B Effects of large gauss filters

As an alternative to the nearly rectangular "flat" measurement filters, the R&S FSV/A
also provides Gaussian filters. Gaussian filters have an optimized settling behavior,
which avoids overshoot distortions in time domain data.
However, for Gaussian filters whose -3dB bandwidth is large compared to the maxi-
mum I/Q bandwidth, the ideal Gaussian filter shape would exceed the maximum I/Q
bandwidth at its outer edges. Thus, the actual filter only follows the ideal Gaussian filter
shape in the inner range of the set I/Q bandwidth. At a certain frequency offset it must
deviate from the ideal Gauss filter and drop off faster.

Gaussian filters with large -3dB bandwidths (<10 MHz)

For filter bandwidths of up to 10 MHz a sufficiently high attenuation occurs before

the edge of the I/Q bandwidth range is reached. These filters are truly Gaussian sha-
ped. Filters with -3dB bandwidths larger than 10 MHz can follow the ideal filter shape
only in the range from approximately -25 MHz to +25 MHz.

Table B-1: Gauss filters with large -3 dB bandwidths

-3 dB BW Max. freq. with Attenuation at max. freq. Attenuation at I/Q range edge (±40
Gaussian shape MHz)

40 MHz +/-24 MHz 4 dB > 60 dB

28 MHz +/-22 MHz 7 dB > 65 dB

18 MHz +/-28 MHz 29 dB > 100 dB

10 MHz +/-25 MHz 75 dB > 100 dB
