Using the Spectrum Analyzer

Selecting the Spectrum Analyzer’s Controls Menus

Several levels of menus are used to access the various controls associated with the spectrum analyzer (see Figure 4-26 on page 112).

“Control Fields for Analog Measurements” on page 185 provides a description for each field on the spectrum analyzer’s menus.
