Peak Hold
When the Peak Hold feature is selected, the 8650B displays the highest instantaneous power measured from the
time the feature is enabled until it is reset by the user. In other words, the displayed value tracks the measured
value only when the measured value is rising to a new maximum. When the measured value falls, the displayed
value holds at the maximum. When the peak hold feature is reset, the displayed value falls to the current
measured value and the process begins again.
When the Peak Hold feature is selected, the minimum average power level that can be accurately measured is -
20 dBm. This has been implemented to increase accuracy and maintain wide bandwidth of Peak Hold
measurement over the peak power range of -20 dBm to +20 dBm. The Peak Hold selection will also affect
Histogram measurement if there is power below -20 dBm. To obtain accurate average power measurements
below -20 dBm, remove the display line containing Peak Hold (or, in remote control, send the command which
disables the Peak Hold feature).
The Peak Hold feature is available in the MAP, PAP and BAP measurement modes; it may be enabled from the
front panel under the Display Data Line Configuration setup menu, or remotely. Peak Hold is reset by pressing
[Reset Line n]
(or, in remote control, by sending the command which activates the Peak Hold feature). The reset
function controls the time resolution of the reading (that is, for finer resolution, reset more frequently).
NOTE: [Reset Line n]
for Peak Hold also resets the Crest Factor.
