Reducing the noise by reducing the video bandwidth
1. Press the BW key.
2. Press the "Video BW Manual" softkey.
3. Reduce the video bandwidth to 1 kHz (for example), by entering
1 kHz
.
This smoothes the noise significantly, and the sweep time is increased to 200
ms. In other words, the measurement will take significantly more time. The
video bandwidth that is displayed is marked with a bullet to indicate that it is
no longer coupled to the resolution bandwidth (see
).

bandwidth
4. Recouple the video bandwidth to the resolution bandwidth.
a) Press the BW key.
b) Press the "Video BW Auto" softkey.
Reducing the noise by averaging the trace
1. Press the TRACE key.
