Fig. 3. Model 2615A Front Panel

The reference level is represented by the upper
horizontal graticule line. The lowest horizontal
graticule line indicates the baseline. The vertical
graticule is subdivided in 10 dB steps.

As previously pointed out, the maximum permissible input
voltages may not be exceeded. This is extremely important
because it is possible that the spectrum analyzer will only
show a partial spectrum of currently applied signals.
