The R&S Spectrum Rider provides automatic selection of the detector. In that case, the
R&S Spectrum Rider selects the detector that is most suitable for the current trace
mode.

If you select the detector manually, the detector is independent of the trace mode.

Working with a Second Trace
In spectrum mode, you can use up to two traces. All two traces are based on the same
settings, except the trace settings like the trace mode or the detector. You can use the
second trace to compare, for example, four different detector settings.
In the default state, only trace 1 is active.
1. Press the [TRACE] key.
2. Select the "Show" softkey.
3. Select the "Enable Trace 2" menu item.
The R&S Spectrum Rider shows the second trace. The second trace is in a differ-
ent color. To show that the second trace is active, the R&S Spectrum Rider dis-
plays the current active trace "Trace 1" or "Trace 2" on the "Parameter View".
After you have activated the second trace, this trace becomes the active one. All
actions (like changing the detector or trace mathematics) apply to the active trace.
4. Select the "Select Trace" softkey.
Trace 1 becomes the active trace.
