Level Adjustments
A
LVL
(level) soft key is used to adjust the vertical parameters of the
graph. These parameters include Max Hold, Ref Level and Scale.
The Max Hold function ensures that the highest signal over multiple
sweeps is displayed. When the Max Hold soft key is pressed, as
indicated in the left hand corner of the display, the highest signal
level is displayed. The M1/M2 readings correspond to the max hold
levels. As multiple sweeps are performed, the maximum level trace
will only change if new sweep levels exceed the existing levels.
The reference level is located at the top line of the graph. The Ref
Level can be adjusted using the cursor keys or by entering a numeric
value followed by the enter key.
The scale parameter (1,2,5, & 10 dB/Div) can only be adjusted with
the cursor keys. For example, if the reference level was set at 0 dB
and the scale was set at 10 dB/div the first horizontal grid line above
the center would be equal to -30 dB. Press the
LVL
soft key to return
to the main spectrum analyzer display.

Press the
FRQ
soft key to edit frequency range parameters of the
Spectrum Analyzer display. Use the
UP
and

the numeric entry keypad to set the center frequency. Press the
Span
soft key to adjust the span frequency. The
Full Span
soft key can be
used to set the start and stop frequency to the full range of the unit.
