MEASUREMENT HOLD
You can freeze the level measurement at any time by pressing the
SHIFT +
keys. The measurement is retained even if the cable
is disconnected from the input port. Notice that the mode icon in
the upper left-hand portion of the screen appears inverted while the
measurement is on hold. Pressing the SHIFT +
keys a second
time releases the hold. The hold is also released when you tune to
a different channel or frequency. The measurement is not retained
when another mode is selected or the microStealth is shut off.
PRINTING THE SCREEN
You can print the entire screen at any time by pressing the SHIFT
+
keys. A bar graph appears indicating the status of the printout.
Tip
If you are using your microStealth at a location where it is not
convenient to connect to a printer (such as on a pole), you can put
the measurement on hold until you are able to access the printer.
WARNING INDICATORS
If the current measurement is inaccurate due to an out-of-range
condition or hardware failure, microStealth warns you by dimming
the numeric measurement value and displaying one of the following
warning indicators.
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.
