AM to PM conversion utility

AM to PM conversion is a form of signal distortion where changes in the amplitude of a

signal produce corresponding changes in the phase of the signal. This type of distortion

can have serious impact in digital modulation schemes for which amplitude varies and

phase accuracy is important.

Limit lines testing

The limit lines facility allows six segments to be defined for each displayed plot. These

can be extended to 11 segments using an overlapping technique. Visual and audible

alarms can be given when a limit line is crossed. All plot formats except Smith chart and

polar support limit testing. Peak hold functions are also available.
