The available indicators are:
•
USB / battery status
: this indicator will display USB
1
when a valid 5V USB connection is available. This will be true
even if the connection is through a wall wart charger, meaning it does not indicate a data connection but rather a
power bus connection. Alternatively, a battery icon with charge level indicator will display when the RF Explorer
unit power switch is set to ON. If both connections are enabled, then USB and Battery will alternate and, in this
case, the battery will be charging.
•
Sweeps per second
: this is an approximate value of the number of full screen sweeps happening every second. In
the example above, there are 5 sweeps per second or, in equivalent terms, one sweep every 200ms.
•
Calculator mode
: this indicator may have different values as specified by the Calculator mode in the frequency
menu. Please check the section Frequency Menu in page 10.
•
DSP mode
: this indicator shows the actual value being used by the Analyzer. The
DSP:Auto
is the recommended
setting in the Frequency Menu (see page 10) so RF Explorer will select the best possible option as per below:
o
FST
: Fast mode. This mode will configure the unit for fastest scanning.
o
FIR
: Filter mode. This is the recommended mode for Pro Audio users, as it will increase accuracy using
filtering.
•
Marker
: There are different operational modes for the marker, see Configuration Menu in page 16.
The analyzer screen can be turned into advanced mode using the [Return] key:
Note the frequency axis indicators changes at the bottom. More details about this screen mode in section
Analyzer screen
page 12.

USB refers to Universal Serial Bus, the standard connectivity bus in all modern computers. Our fellow HAM users should
not confuse this with Upper Side Band communication, even though uses the same mnemonic.
