7.12 Hold
(activate HOLD mode)
With
On
, you can activate the
HOLD
mode and the Mode status field will read
“HOLD”. With
Off
, the
HOLD
mode is turned back off.
In
HOLD
mode, the spectrum display does
not
get erased anymore, thus
all
measured signals (peaks) stay visible
all the time
. In this mode, the display can
only be overwritten by even
stronger
signals.
Likewise, only the highest three markers since the activation of
HOLD
mode will
be displayed, along with their frequencies and levels (in dBm).
As such, the
HOLD
mode in SPECTRAN turns into a true “Jack of all trades” and
is also called “
ADVANCED
HOLD” mode:
You can use this mode to create
full-day diagrams
: Simply leave SPECTRAN
in HOLD mode for e.g. 24 hours and the next day, you will see exactly what hap-
pened in the past 24 hours. In the same way, you can use it as an
“EVENT-
RECORDER”
should you want to catch signals only occurring in certain inter-
vals: Simply leave SPECTRAN running in
HOLD
mode until it caught the result.
Another situation where
HOLD
mode is indispensable is the
“panning
approach”
described in the following chapter.
Another situation where
HOLD
mode is
very helpful
is
exposure limit calcu-
lation
: You can use the readings acquired in
HOLD
mode for quick and easy
comparison with exposure limits -
without
acquiring new readings, as even the
markers along with all information are stored. Simply switch to
exposure limit
calculation
mode after the measurement, and you can instantly see the results.
HINT:
You can also turn
HOLD
mode on/off by using the Dot key (erase
memory)
7.13 Unit
(set physical unit)
With
Unit
, you can set the physical unit used by SPECTRAN to show results.
Available choices are:
dBm
(DecibelMilliWatts),
dBµV
(DecibelMicroWatts),
V/m
(VoltMeter) and
mA/m
(MilliAmpereMeter).
Hint:
In “EXPOSURE LIMIT analysis” mode, SPECTRAN additionally displays
power flux density in
W/m²
(incl. Autorange). Thus, in this mode, you can show
three units SIMULTANEOUSLY
, as in addition, the bargraph shows values in
dBm
!

A typical result after a 20 minute car drive with activated
HOLD
mode. Easily visible: During the whole drive, only transmitters from
T-Mobile (952 & 942MHz) and Vodafone (936MHz) have been
active.
