Input Z Corr (75)

Zero Span Log Fidelity, Digital Bandwidths

This section is for analyzers with Option 1DR (narrow resolution

bandwidths) only.

Setup for zero span measurements

11. Set the 1 dB step attenuator to 11 dB and the 10 dB step attenuator to

110 dB.

12. Press Preset on the analyzer. Press the Factory Preset softkey, if it is

displayed. Set the analyzer by pressing the following keys:

System, Alignments
Align Now, All (wait for the alignment sequence to complete)

13. Set the 1 dB and 10 dB step attenuators to 0 dB.

14. Set the following parameters on the analyzer:

FREQUENCY, 50 MHz
SPAN, 100 Hz (ESA-E Series only)
SPAN, 500 Hz (ESA-L Series only)
BW/Avg, 10 Hz (ESA-E Series only)
BW/Avg, 100 Hz (ESA-L Series only)

15. On the analyzer press Peak Search (or Search), Marker –>, and Marker –> CF.
