Measurements for nFSK modulation types
Measurement Description
Peak FSK err Peak value of the frequency deviation error at the symbol point.
RMS FSK Err RMS value of the frequency deviation error at the symbol point.
Peak Mag Err
The Peak magnitude difference between the measured signal and the reference signal
magnitude.
RMS Mag Err The RMS magnitude difference between the measured signal and the reference signal
magnitude.
Freq Error The frequency difference between the measured carrier frequency of the signal and the
user-selected center frequency of the instrument.
Freq Deviation Frequency distance from the center frequency at the symbol point.
Symbol Rate Error This compares the user-entered symbol rate to the instrument calculated symbol rate of
the analyzed signal.
Symbol Rate When in Auto-symbol rate, the instrument calculates the symbol rate of the signal and
the instrument calculates the error between the user entered value and the instrument
calculated value.

RMS Error Magnitude RMS value of the frequency deviation error at the symbol point.
Carrier Frequency Error Frequency difference between averaged signal frequency and the center frequency.
Deviation
Frequency distance from the center frequency at the symbol point.
Length
Number of symbols in the analysis area.
