<p>The <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Trace</I></span> menu provides all 
 trace settings and the functions to select, modify and store different 
 traces. In addition the menu provides the marker, search and limit check 
 functions. </p>

 <p class=Dropdowntext>A trace is a set of data points that can be displayed 
 together in a <A href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="BSSCPopup('Trace_Menu_text0.htm');return false;" onMouseOver="if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="popupspot" >diagram

 The trace settings specify the mathematical operations used in order to 
 obtain traces from the collected data. They can be divided into several 
 main groups:</p>
 <ul type="disc" class="whs2">
  <li class=kadov-p-CList>
  <p class=List>Selection of the measured quantity 
 (S-parameters, wave quantities, ratios, impedances,...) </p></li>
  <li class=kadov-p-CList>
  <p class=List>Conversion into the appropriate 
 display format and selection of the diagram type </p></li>
  <li class=kadov-p-CList>
  <p class=List>Scaling of the diagram and selection 
 of the traces associated to the same channel </p></li>
  <li class=kadov-p-CList>
  <p class=List>Readout and search of particular 
 values on the trace by means of markers </p></li>
  <li class=kadov-p-CList>
  <p class=List>Limit check </p></li>
 </ul>
 <p class=Dropdowntext>The trace settings complement the definitions of 
 the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Channel </I></span>menu. Each trace 
 is assigned to a channel; see <span style="font-style: italic;"><I><a HREF="../../System_Overview/Analyzer_Model/Traces_and_Channels.htm" id="a3" style="/*begin!kadov{{*/ position: relative; /*}}end!kadov*/ ">Traces,
