FREQ
Set the frequency parameter of analyzer. The analyzer sweeps within a specified
range, and the sweep will start once you change this parameter.
The frequency range of current channel can be expressed by either of two
groups of paramenters: Start Frequency/Stop Frequency
(
f
start
/f
stop
)
, or center
Frequency/Span
(
f
center
/f
span
)
. If any one of them is adjusted, other three
parameters will be changed accordingly to ensure their coupling relationship.

Center Frequency
Enable the center frequency function, to allow a frequency displays in center be
selected. When pressed, the frequency mode is switched to Center
Frequency/Span for input. In this mode, parameters you specified are always
shown at the lower right and left side of the display grid.
Key points:
The start and stop frequencies vary with the center frequency when span is
constant.
Changing the center frequency horizontally shifts the current sweep channel
and the adjustment is limited by the specified range in datasheet.
In the Zero Span mode, start frequency, stop frequency and center frequency
are always equal.
User can modify this parameter by numeric keys, knob and arrow keys.

Unit
GHz, MHz, kHz, Hz

Arrow Keys Step CF step
Start Freq
Set the start frequency of current channel, displays at the left scale. When
pressed, the frequency mode is switched to Start Frequency/Stop Frequency for
input. In this mode, parameters you specified are always shown at the lower left
and right side of the grid.
Key points:
The span and center frequency are changed automatically according to the start
frequency. The change of the span would have influence on other system
parameters. For more details, please refer to “Span”.
In Zero Span mode, the start frequency, stop frequency and center frequency
are always equal.
You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob, or arrow keys.
