Markers may alsobe displayed in electrical length (or physical length ifthe relative propagation velocity is entered).Time stimulus modesTwo types of time excitation stimulus waveforms canbe simulated during the transformations, a step and animpulse.• Low-pass stepThis stimulus, similar to a traditional time-domain reflectometer(TDR) stimulus waveform, is used to measurelow-pass devices. The frequency-domain data shouldextend from DC (extrapolated value) to a higher value.• Low-pass impulseThis stimulus is also used to measure low-pass devices.• Bandpass impulseThe bandpass impulse stimulates a pulsed RF signal(with an impulse envelope) and is used to measure thetime-domain response of band-limited devices.WindowsThe windowing function can be used to modify (filter)the frequency-domain data and thereby reduce overshootand ringing in the time-domain response. Threetypes of windows are available: minimum, normal, andmaximum.GatingThe gating function can be used to selectively removereflection or transmission time-domain responses. Inconverting back to the frequency-domain the effects ofthe responses outside the gate are removed.Remote programmingInterfaceHP-IB interface operates to IEEE 488-1978 and IEC625 standards and IEEE 728-1982 recommended practices.AddressingThe GP-IB address can be verified or set from thefront panel via the local menu and can range from 0 to30 decimal (factory set at 16).Pass controlAllows the HP 8753ET/ES to request control of theGP-IB (when an active controller is present) wheneverit needs to output to a plotter or printer.System controllerLets an HP 8753ET/ES become a controller on theGP-IB to directly control a plotter or a printer.Talker/listenerLets the HP 8753ET/ES become an GP-IB talker/listenerwhen an external controller is present.Transfer formatsBinary (internal 48-bit floating-point complex format)ASCII 32- or 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point formatUser-accessible graphicsUsing a subset of HP Graphics Language (HP-GL),vector or text graphics may be written on theHP 8753ET/ES via GP-IB.

This provides about 1.5 dB morepower at the test port, but does not allow continuousswitching, so the user must initiate updates of all fourS-parameters for full two-port error correction.
