[time-nuts] Timelab & Agilent 53230a

[David Tang]

Hi everyone,

This may be a rookie question...  I am trying to measure phase noise using Timelab and Agilent 53230a but I get a "This plot contains xDEV/phase/frequency data only -- no phase noise or AM noise records".  I tried the following settings and other variations but still get the same result.  Can someone point me to how to measure PN with a 53230a?  Thank you very much for your time.
