Measuring the level
1. Press the [PRESET] key.
The R&S Spectrum Rider is reset to its default state.
After the preset, the R&S Spectrum Rider displays the frequency spectrum over its
full frequency span.
At 500 MHz, the generator signal is displayed as a vertical line. To analyze the
generator signal at 500 MHz in more detail, reduce the frequency span.
2. Press the "Center" softkey at the "Parameter view".
The R&S Spectrum Rider opens an entry box to define the center frequency.
3. Enter a center frequency of 500 MHz.
The signal is now in the center of the display.
4. Press the "Span" softkey at the "Parameter view".
The R&S Spectrum Rider opens an entry box to specify the span.
5. Enter a span of 20 MHz.
The R&S Spectrum Rider now displays the generator signal with a higher resolu-
tion.
Setting the reference level
The level at the top of the measurement diagram is called the reference level. To
obtain the best dynamic range from the R&S Spectrum Rider, you should use its full
level range. That means that the maximum level value should be at or close to the top
of the measurement diagram (= reference level).
