●
If option R&S
RTM-K18 is installed, the FFT key enables the spectrum analysis
mode.
●
Without the option, the FFT key enables the basic Fast Fourier Transformation
(FFT) calculation for the most recently selected channel.
If activated, the FFT key lights up.
To deactivate spectrum analysis, press the FFT key until the time domain waveform is
displayed.
3.1.5 TRIGGER Controls
The keys and the rotary knob in the TRIGGER functional block adjust the trigger and
start or stop acquisition.
RUN CONT
Starts and stops the continuous acquisition. A green light indicates a running acquisi-
tion. A red light shows that acquisition is stopped.
The status is shown also at the right end of the information bar: "Run" or "Complete".
RUN Nx SINGLE
Starts a defined number of acquisitions. Press the key again to stop running acquisi-
tions.
To set the number of acquisitions, press the ACQUISITION key and enter "Nx Single".
FORCE
If the acquisition is running in normal mode and no valid trigger occurs, forcing the trig-
ger provokes an immediate single acquisition. Thus you can confirm that a signal is
available and use the waveform display to determine how to trigger on it.
MODE
Toggles the trigger mode between Auto and Normal. The trigger mode determines the
behavior of the instrument if no trigger occurs. The current setting is shown in the infor-
mation bar.
LEVEL
The rotary knob changes the trigger treshold voltage. Turn clockwise to move the trig-
ger level up.
