Noise spectrum
The noise spectrum gives you a real-time view of the different types of noise that were
detected on the fieldbus segment. Various conditions can cause different types of noise.
The spectrum displays the measurements grouped by low frequency, in-band, and high
frequency noise. The frequencies between 9 and 39 KHz make the fieldbus signal.
Note
Before taking a noise measurement, remove the AC adapter from the Trex unit, if it is
connected. This isolates the Trex unit from the local power grid.
Frequency Frequency range
Low frequency 870 Hz - 9 KHz
In-band frequency 9 KHz - 39 KHz
High frequency 39 KHz - 100 KHz
The gray/shaded area at the top of the noise spectrum shows the values that would
exceed the maximum values set in the measurement criteria for the low-frequency, in-
band frequency, and high-frequency measurements. If the measurement is in the gray/
shaded area, the Fieldbus Diagnostics Overview screen shows a status of CHECK. If the
measurement is below the gray/shaded area, the displayed status is GOOD.
The noise spectrum shows the highest measurement in mV (peak-to-peak) outlined in
black. Tap Reset Peak to clear the black outline and have it reset to the most recent
www.
Typical measurement values
Less than1000 mV (peak-to-peak)
Less than 75 mV (peak-to-peak)
Less than 150 mV (peak-to-peak)
