Note
On start-up, there is a short warm-up period before the OSA can scan. The scan indicator is in the bottom right
of the display. It shows yellow, red and green. Yellow is warming up; red is ready to scan; and green is scanning.
This indicator may be used with the stylus to start and end a scan.
Scan
Once the unit is ready to scan, touch the scan indicator or the scan button on the keypad to start the scan.
To stop a scan, touch the scan indicator or press the scan button again.
Cursor Movement/Selection:
To move the cursors, touch the screen and the active will snap to that location. Moving the stylus up or down on
the display will drag the cursor as desired.
Note
Touching the left hand channel number bar is a quick method to switch to the table display and touching the
left most channel number bar on the table display will revert back to the graph display. Therefore, it is neces-
sary to stay clear of this area when manipulating the cursors with the touch screen.
To change the active cursor, touch the red or blue cursor points on the right side of the display. The one outlined in
black is the active cursor (A/B button on the keypad).
Auto Test/Zoom: (Keypad only)
The Auto Test button automatically zooms to active channels. This is the first channel starting at channel 1 that is
higher than -45dBm in low power mode (-25dBm in high power mode). It sets that as the first channel in the visible
range then starts at the last channel and works backward to find the last channel that meets the same criteria and
sets it as the last channel in the visible range. This button toggles this feature on and off.
