0.1 x Span
The step size equals 10% of the span or 1 division of the horizontal axis.
-
=Center
The step size equals the center frequency.
This step size is ideal for measurements on harmonics. When you increase or
decrease the center frequency, the center frequency automatically moves to
the next harmonic.

Manual…
Define any step size you want.
This step size makes it easy to investigate a spectrum with frequencies at
constant intervals.
► Select the step size you need from the menu.
The R&S ZVH adjusts the step size accordingly.
If you set the step size to 10% of the span or to the center frequency, the R&S ZVH
sets the step size internally. Manually defining the step size opens an input field to
define the step size.
4.2.1.3 Setting a Frequency Offset
For measurements on frequency converters such as satellite downconverters, it is
often convenient to reference the results to the frequency prior to conversion. For this
purpose, the R&S ZVH offers a frequency offset that arithmetically shifts the center
frequency to higher or lower frequencies. Thus, the R&S ZVH displays the input
frequency of the DUT.
Positive frequency offset is possible in the range from 1 Hz to 100 GHz, in steps of
1 Hz. The maximum negative frequency offset depends on the start frequency you
have set. The start frequency, taking into account the frequency offset, is always
≥ 0 Hz.
► Press the FREQ/DIST key.
► Press the "Freq Offset" softkey.
The R&S ZVH opens an input field to set the frequency offset.
► Enter the frequency offset you need.
The R&S ZVH adds the frequency offset to the center frequency you have set. A
red dot at the center frequency display indicates that a frequency offset has been
set.
