• AUTO and MAN (Auto + Manual Mode)
The RF signal is binarized using the slice level obtained by superimposing a given
offset level to the slice level that is detected by the auto slice function. The offset level
is a separate level from the slice level of manual mode in the previous section, and
when the trigger mode is set to auto + manual, the following range applies.
Setting range: –1000 to 1000 (in steps of 1)
Note
•
When the measurement function is PW, AGC is OFF, and the equalizer is OFF, if the slice
level set in manual mode exceeds 1 V (or is less than –1 V), it will change to 1000 (or –
1000) when AGC or the equalizer are turned ON.
•
When the measurement function is PW, AGC is OFF, and the equalizer is OFF, you
cannot change to a trigger mode other than manual mode. Conversely, even if you set the
instrument to a different mode, if the measurement function is then set to PW, and AGC
and the equalizer are turned OFF, the trigger mode automatically changes to manual
mode.
•
The trigger mode is forcibly set to AUTO when the limit equalizer is selected (see the
option function user’s manual, IM704610-51E). The trigger mode remains the same even
if the equalizer is returned to OFF or CONV.
