A system for correlating radio frequency, RF, measurements of a device-under-test, DUT, with orientations of the DUT, the system comprising: a computer coupled to a non-transitory memory medium; and a RF measurement system coupled to the computer, wherein the computer is configured to transmit a sequence of acquisition triggers to the RF measurement system, wherein, in response to receiving a first acquisition trigger of the sequence of acquisition triggers when the RF measurement system is not currently acquiring an RF measurement, the RF measurement system is configured to transmit a first reference trigger to the computer, initiate the RF measurement of the DUT, and transmit a first result of the RF measurement to the computer, wherein, in response to receiving a second acquisition trigger of the sequence of acquisition triggers when the RF measurement system is currently acquiring the RF measurement, the RF measurement system is configured to not transmit a second reference trigger to the computer and not initiate a second RF measurement of the DUT, wherein the computer is further configured to: receive the first reference trigger and the first result from the RF measurement system; responsive to receiving the first reference trigger, store a value of one or more counters at the time when the first reference trigger is received from the RF measurement system, wherein the value of the one or more counters is generated based on information provided by an orientation encoder; and generate antenna characterization information of the DUT based on a correlation of the first result with a determined orientation of the DUT, wherein the orientation of the DUT is determined based at least in part on the value of the one or more counters stored on the computer at the time when the first reference trigger is received from the RF measurement system. a computer coupled to a non-transitory memory medium; and a RF measurement system coupled to the computer, wherein the computer is configured to transmit a sequence of acquisition triggers to the RF measurement system, wherein, in response to receiving a first acquisition trigger of the sequence of acquisition triggers when the RF measurement system is not currently acquiring an RF measurement, the RF measurement system is configured to transmit a first reference trigger to the computer, initiate the RF measurement of the DUT, and transmit a first result of the RF measurement to the computer, wherein, in response to receiving a second acquisition trigger of the sequence of acquisition triggers when the RF measurement system is currently acquiring the RF measurement, the RF measurement system is configured to not transmit a second reference trigger to the computer and not initiate a second RF measurement of the DUT, wherein the computer is further configured to: receive the first reference trigger and the first result from the RF measurement system; responsive to receiving the first reference trigger, store a value of one or more counters at the time when the first reference trigger is received from the RF measurement system, wherein the value of the one or more counters is generated based on information provided by an orientation encoder; and generate antenna characterization information of the DUT based on a correlation of the first result with a determined orientation of the DUT, wherein the orientation of the DUT is determined based at least in part on the value of the one or more counters stored on the computer at the time when the first reference trigger is received from the RF measurement system. receive the first reference trigger and the first result from the RF measurement system; responsive to receiving the first reference trigger, store a value of one or more counters at the time when the first reference trigger is received from the RF measurement system, wherein the value of the one or more counters is generated based on information provided by an orientation encoder; and generate antenna characterization information of the DUT based on a correlation of the first result with a determined orientation of the DUT, wherein the orientation of the DUT is determined based at least in part on the value of the one or more counters stored on the computer at the time when the first reference trigger is received from the RF measurement system.
