Section 14 : Comparing Two-Channel Real-Time Spectra with Recalled Data

Compare two channels of real-time data with spectra stored in registers using the UPPR/LOWR FRNT/BACK display format of the AGILENT 35670A. Note that the real-time data should be measured with the same frequency and resolution as the stored data if valid, direct comparisons are desired.

Preset the analyzer as follows:

Press the green [Preset] hardkey

Press [DO PRESET] softkey (F1).

Press the yellow [Pause/Cont] hardkey if desired.

Selecting Measurement Parameters

Refer to the section entitled “Measuring Dual Channel Spectra” to set up span, ranges, coupling, averaging, and windowing. Transducer parameters set up is described in the section “Measuring with Transducers.”

Displaying Dual-Channel Spectra Compared with Recalled Data

The results of a dual-channel measurement are compared to recalled spectra in data registers via the following steps:

Press the [Disp Format] hardkey.

Press the [UPPR/LOWR FRNT/BACK] softkey (F5).

Press the [Active Trace] hardkey.

Press the [A] softkey (F1).
