Tracking Operations
Tracking operations consist of signal tracking (which is useful for measuring a signal whose frequency is
variable) and continuous peak search functions.
Power on
1.
Turn the spectrum analyzer power on.
Initialization
This resets the current settings to the factory defaults.
2.
Press SHIFT and CONFIG(PRESET).
The default settings have now been reset.
Input signal connection
Connect the calibration signal used for the measurement.
Setting the measurement conditions
This changes the analyzer settings so that the input signal is displayed more clearly.
3.
Press FREQ, 2, 9, ., 9, 9 and MHz.
A center frequency of 29.99 MHz is set.
4.
Press SPAN, 5, 0 and kHz.
A frequency span of 50 kHz is set.
Signal tracking
This function performs a peak search using a signal with the marker in each sweep,
and the detected frequency is set to the center frequency. The detected peak frequency
is always set as the center frequency.
5.
Press PK SRCH, MKR and Sig Track ON/OFF(ON).
Signal tracking is turned on. The detected peak frequency is always set as the
center frequency even if the input signal frequency varies.
NOTE:
When the signal tracking function has been turned on and ten keys are used
to change the frequency span, the auto-zooming function automatically
tracks the signal and changes the frequency span until an optimum span is
achieved.
