Carrier-to-Noise Configuration

Access

: "Overview" > "Select Measurement" > "C/N"/"C/N0" > "Carrier Noise Config"

Both a carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N) and a carrier-to-noise ratio in relation to the band-
width (C/N

) measurement are available.

Carrier-to-noise measurements are not available in zero span mode.
