displaying one of the following warning indicators to the left of the
numeric level measurement in the marker information area:

 

Over-range

The signal level is above the measurement range of the
instrument.

  Under-range

The signal level is below the measurement range of the
instrument.

  Error

A hardware problem exists.  If this condition persists, the unit
may need repair.

TILT

TILT mode simplifies the process of balancing an amplifier.  TILT

mode can only be accessed by choosing the 

 icon from the

NAVIGATOR.  A spectral graph of the TILT carriers appears.
