The blue trace ("track trace") equalizes frequency drifting signals and thus shows a
stable version of the signal with the intended center frequency.
If necessary, you can turn the traces on and off. For more information see
Monitor: Raw Trace / Trk Trace (On Off)"
The green vertical lines indicate the phase noise offset to be measured on in relation to
the displayed center frequency.The position of the two green line depends on the half
decade that is currently measured and the sample rate you have selected.
Remote command:
Frequency Drift
The frequency drift shows the instantenous frequency over time for the half decade
that is currently measured.
Time span
The displayed time span on the x-axis is defined by the time it takes to perform a mea-
surement in the half decade that is currently measured. If the measurement time for a
particular half decade is very long (several seconds), the application probably updates
the result display several times. In that case, the application splits the measurement
into several "sub-measurements".
Y-axis scale
The scale of the y-axis is automatically determined according to the sample rate. For a
better resolution, the trace is offset by the first measured frequency value. Thus, the
trace always starts at 0
Hz. The initial correction value is displayed in the diagram as a
numeric result.
To get a better resolution of the time axis, use the zoom function.
If necessary, you can turn the trace on and off. For more information see
