Description
Display
Enables (On) or disables (Off) showing RF traces.
Reference Level
Sets the reference level using the multipurpose knob, double-tap to bring up the virtual keypad, or tap
the up and down arrows to change the level

Units
Sets the measurement unit to use in the vertical scale in the RF waveform view.
Amplifier Mode
When a TPA-N-PRE (preamplifier) is attached to the RF input, tap to toggle between Auto and Bypass
mode. The readout indicates preamplifier mode.
Spectrum Traces
Add or remove Normal, Average, Max Hold, or Min Hold traces to the display.
• Normal sets the spectrum trace to show the first sample point data in each sample interval.
• Average sets the spectrum trace to show the average of the normal points in each sample interval
over several acquisitions.
• Max Hold sets the spectrum trace to show the highest amplitude points in each sample interval
over several acquisitions.
• Min Hold sets the spectrum trace to show the lowest amplitude points in each sample interval over
several acquisitions.
Sets the trace mode to show all available sample point data in the spectrum trace.
Detection Type
Displays the detection type, or, if the detection method is set to Manual, allows you to select the
detection type: +Peak, Average, Sample, or -Peak.
Detection Method
Select the detection method:
• Auto allows the instrument to select the detection type.
• Manual allows you to select the detection type: +Peak, Average, Sample, or -Peak.
Number of Averages
When the Average spectrum trace is selected, sets the spectrum trace to show the average of the
normal points in each sample interval over several acquisitions.
