Step 3. Press the REF LEVEL soft key and use the up/down arrow key or directly enter
the desired reference level from the keypad. Press ENTER to set the amplitude
level.
Step 4. Press the
SCALE soft key and use the up/down arrow key or directly enter the
desired scale from the keypad. Press ENTER to set the scale.
NOTE: Press the ATTEN soft key and select AUTO coupling of the attenuator
setting and the reference level to help insure that harmonics and spurs are not
introduced into the measurements. See Attenuator Functions (page ) for more
information.
Selecting Bandwidth Parameters
Both resolution bandwidth (RBW) and video bandwidth (VBW) can be automatically or
manually coupled. Auto coupling of the RBW links the RBW to the span. That is, the wider
the span, the wider the RBW. Auto coupling is indicated on the display as
RBW XXX. When
the RBW is manually coupled, it can be adjusted independently of the span. Manual RBW
coupling is indicated on the display as
RBW* XXX.
Auto coupling of the VBW links the VBW to the RBW. That is, the wider the RBW, the
wider the VBW. Auto coupling is indicated on the display as “VBW XXX”. When the
VBW is manually coupled, it can be adjusted independently of the RBW. Manual VBW
coupling is indicated on the display as “VBW* XXX”.
Step 1.
Press the BW/SWEEP key to display the bandwidth menu.
Step 2. To select the resolution bandwidth, press the
RBW soft key.
Step 3. Press
AUTO for automatic resolution bandwidth selection, or press MANUAL and
use the Up/Down arrow key to select the resolution bandwidth. Press ENTER to
set the resolution bandwidth. Press the
BACK soft key to return to the bandwidth
menu
Step 4. To select the video bandwidth, press the
VBW soft key.
Step 5. Press
AUTO for automatic video bandwidth selection, or press MANUAL and use
the Up/Down arrow key to select the video bandwidth. Press ENTER to set the
video bandwidth.
Selecting Sweep Parameters
Max Hold
To toggle maximum hold ON or OFF, press the
MAX HOLD soft key. Maximum hold dis
-
plays the maximum response of the input signal over multiple sweeps.
Detection Method
Each display point represents some number of measurements combined by a detection
method. The number of measurements per display point is affected by the span and the res
-
olution bandwidth. The three available detection methods are Positive Peak, Average, and
Negative Peak. Positive peak display the maximum value of all the measurements associ
-
ated with that display point. Average detection displays the mean of all the measurements
associated with that display point. Negative peak displays the minimum value of all the
measurements associated with that display point.
