Frequency Range

The X-axis frequency range determines the frequencies that are measured for
each sweep. The default Start frequency is 0 Hz. However, the Start frequency
can be set as low as –100 MHz. The internal LO of the FieldFox can be seen at
0 Hz, which will mask signals that may be present.
Although the start frequency can be set as low as -100 MHz, amplitude
accuracy is specified above 2 MHz. Below 2 MHz, frequency accuracy is
maintained, but amplitude accuracy is degraded.
The frequency range of the measurement can be changed using the following
methods:
— Set Center and Span frequencies.
— Set Start and Stop frequencies.
— Toggle between Zero and Last selected span.
— Set Full Span of the FieldFox .
— Using Channel selection. Learn how in
— Using Marker -> Center (frequency). Learn how in

Center frequency is at the exact center of the X-axis. The Frequency
Span places half of the frequency range on either side of center.
When the Center and Frequency Span values are entered, then the
X-axis annotation on the screen shows the Center and Span
frequencies.
