Realtime Correction of cascaded signal paths A cascade of signal path blocks can be defined for deembedding deembedding. The individual blocks are described by S- parameters that can be derived from simulation or mea- sured with a vector network analyzer. The deembedding software automatically calculates the correction filter for the overall system response.

In addition to the edge trigger, advanced trigger types such as pulse width, runt and setup & hold work up to the full bandwidth of the instrument. This enables fast isolation of high-frequency signal components. The trigger sensitivity is adjustable from 0 div to 5 div and the trigger resolu- tion can be extended up to 16 bit with the high definition mode. Users can reliably trigger on even the smallest sig- nal details.
