Create your own soft keys on the N9322C Basic Spectrum Analyzer (BSA).
Today’s demonstration will show you how to personalize the user key on the Agilent
N9322C BSA Basic Spectrum Analyzer. This key allows you to define and recall frequently
used state files. It is a particularly helpful feature for production line operators and
other users that need to perform repetitive measurements. It takes just three simple steps
to establish the functionality of your user key.
First you need to save the measurement set-ups into a “State File.” Then you need to
create two folders in the N9322C’s internal memory. The hierarchy should be “C::/user/state”.
For the final step copy the “State” files to the “State” folder you just created.
After you finish these three steps you will see your personalized user soft key on the
N9322C Spectrum Analyzer.
You can create a maximum of 18 user soft keys.
Let me show you how easy it is with an example.
For this demonstration we will assume that you have already saved a couple of state files
in the analyzer’s internal memory. To begin press the “File” hard key and enter the
file management screen. Press “Directory” and “Create Folder” soft keys. Using the
numeric keypad name the folder “User.” Press the “Enter” key to confirm the creation
of the folder. Rotate the knob to highlight the user folder, press “Browse Folder”
then press “Create Folder.” Use the numeric keypad to input the folder name “State.”
Press the “Enter” key to confirm the creation of the folder.
The last step is to copy the “State” file into the specific folder named “State,”
which is created under the “User” folder of the root directory.
(1) Rotate the knob to highlight the saved filed: “Step_one”
(2) Press “File Operation” and “Copy to.”
(3) Rotate the knob to highlight the folder “User,” and press “Browse Folder”
to open the folder.
(4) Rotate the knob to highlight the folder named “State” and press “Browse Folder”
to open the folder.
(5) Press “Copy” to copy the “Step_one” file into the “State” folder within the
“User” folder.
Now when you press the “User” key, you will see the “Step_one” soft key. When
you press the “Step_one” the analyzer will immediately recall the “State” file
and set-up all the perimeters for measurement.
This is very helpful for operators who have to implement repetitive tasks and reduce their
time to set-up the perimeters.
To summarize, you can always save “State” files for you frequently used measurements.
When copying them into the “User/State” folders the N9322C BSA always recognizes the
first 18 State files and displays their file names on the “User” soft keys. This allows
you to quickly access any of these predefined tasks and easily switch from one task to another.
The N9322C’s user key is just one of several features designed to help you gain greater
test efficiency and capture more of opportunities.
