<p>The analyzer provides a variety of functions to perform a particular 
 measurement and to customize and optimize the evaluation of results. To 
 ensure that the instrument resources are easily accessible and that user-defined 
 configurations can be conveniently implemented, stored and reused the 
 instrument uses a hierarchy of structures: </p>

<p>The analyzer provides global settings that are mostly hardware-related 
 and can be used for all measurements, irrespective of the current measurement 
 session or setup. The settings are stored in independent files and do 
 not enter into any of the setup files. The following settings correspond 
 to global resources: </p>
