3.9.2 Mixed Mode Operation . All of the measurement functions of the 4532 series can be performed in two
independent channels. The trigger system is common to both channels, but either can be selected as the
trigger source. There are some restrictions imposed on two-channel operation when both channels are not in
the same measurement mode. This situation is referred to as “mixed mode”.
Pulse Mode cannot be combined with Modulated Mode or Statistical Mode when two peak sensors are
connected. The CW voltage and power modes can be freely combined with any measurement mode in the
opposite channel. When Statistical mode is used CW or modulated mode, the graphical display must be
interpreted as having two overlapping horizontal axes with different dimensions. The statistical graph will be
referred to a horizontal axis with percentage units, while the CW/modulated graph will be referred to a
horizontal axis with time units.
