Require 1 signal > PEAK EXCURSION above PEAK
THRESHOLD
Indicates that the N dB PTS routine cannot locate a
signal that is high enough to measure. The signal must be greater
than the peak excursion above the threshold level to measure. (U)
Require 3 signals > PEAK EXCURSION above PEAK
THRESHOLD
Indicates that the % AM routine cannot locate three
signals that are high enough to measure. The signals must be
greater than the peak excursion above the threshold level to
measure. (U)
Require 4 signals > PEAK EXCURSION above PEAK
THRESHOLD
Indicates that the TOI routine cannot locate four signals
that are high enough to measure. The signals must be greater than
the peak excursion above the threshold level to measure. (U)
Required Option Not Installed
Indicates that the function
selected requires optional hardware that is not currently available.
