An example of a broadband cable spectrum is shown below.
Figure 15-1 Spectrum analyzer
The level-axis has a step width of 10 dB/div. The maximum dynamic range is 40 dB. The blue
region at the bottom of the screen contents the center frequency (CF), the resolution band width
(RBW) and the frequency segment (span), or in full span mode the start- and stop-frequency. The
blue region at the top of the screen contents date and time, the frequency and level of the actual
cursor position and the remaining battery capacity. Pressing one of the five function Keys (
F1…F5
)
shows the menu item bar for some seconds.

Accessing the analyzer
Press the
ANALYZ
key in the currently active measuring range (TV, FM, ...) to access the
analyzer. The status of the measuring receiver is now important. If the receiver is not tuned to a
channel (e.g. previously pressing
HOME
), the analyzer “sweeps” over the entire measuring range
FULLSPAN
. But if the instrument is in the tuned mode (measuring mode), the analyzer displays
the spectrum segment in the range of the measuring frequency.
