In the Figure 20

Fast Configurations

is shown an example of a

working configurations set. Stay tuned
with our website for some precompiled
configuration set.

4.11. HW Options

This tab includes three different hardware options: on top, the “Resolution
Bandwidth”.
The panel will show all the filters that can be chosen, according to the selected
frequency range: tighter is the span and less will be the filters that can be selected.
Please note that, only for “Band1”, RBW value is fixed on 3 kHz and cannot be
chosen. The SEP has six different filters:



1 MHz
