Menu Maps: Spectrum Analysis

Marker Key (See page 177)

A bar on the left of two or more softkeys indicates that the keys are a set of mutually exclusive choices.

† A dagger to the left of the softkey indicates that when the key is pressed this is an active function.

‡ A double-dagger to the left of the softkey indicates a function that is not always available. It is dependent on other instrument settings.

Use binary data format instead of ASCII Minimize the number of GPIB transactions. Avoid unnecessary use of *RST. Put ADC Ranging in Bypass for FFT Measurements Minimize DUT/instrument setup changes. Consider using LAN instead of GPIB. Using an Option Mode: Minimize the number of GPIB transactions. Using an Option Mode: Avoid automatic attenuator setting. Using an Option Mode: Optimize your GSM output RF spectrum switching measurement. Using an Option Mode: Avoid using RFBurst trigger for single burst signals.
