Marker
Measure a bsolute freq uency and amplitude of on
screen responses with
0

( 500
or

5m ,
dBV or
rms volts. The M a rker' s frequency
resolution and accuracy is limited by
the point- by- point display and sweep
dynamics . )
Counter
COUNTER
Use the
0
fu nction to precisely measure the
frequency of the signal that is producing the
response on which the Marker is positioned .
(The Counter, unaffected by display
resolution a n d sweep dynamics,
displays the true frequency at the
peak of the response. The M a rker
does not need to be at the peak of the
response, but it must be at least
20
dB
above the noise and
20
d B above any
unresolved signaL )
Noise Level
NO I SE L.VL
The
0
fu nction provides a direct real-time
reading of the rms random noise spectral density
at the M a rker or Manual frequency, normal ized to
a
1
Hz noise power bandwidt h . All correction fac
t o r s a re i n c l u d ed in t h e i n t e r n a l n o ise
measu rement routine.
( Absolute noise level readings are
d isplayed in " d Bm
( 1
Hz) " , " d BV
( 1
Hz) " or "V Hz" . Relative ( Offset)
noise readings are displayed in " d B
(1
Hz) " . Noise measurement times
range from
0.3
seconds to
33
seconds, depending on the Resolution
Bandwidth setting . )
