AddRefExtZeroTrace

Description

This method adds an initial (zero) trace for the calculation of an

offset that can be applied to acquired traces for periodic testing.

Syntax

object.AddRefExtZeroTrace (Trace)

Parameters

Trace: Required. A Variant value containing a two-dimensional

array representing pairs of X,Y coordinates of the trace to set.

Response

None.

Note

This method lets you specify which traces will serve as the zero
traces
to calculate an offset that can be applied to acquired

traces during periodic tests. This trace should be the acquisition

result of an external reference patchcord used as a reference

device. There should be as many zero traces as there are

external reference patchcords connected to the setup.
This offset may be used to compensate intrinsic deviation of the

system, mainly caused by the repeatability of the switch.
Use this method in conjunction with the following methods:
AddRefExtTrace, GetDriftTrace, GetCorrectedIlTrace.
