  • Page 15 GSP-810 User Manual CENTER FREQ This field is the value for the frequency located at the mid-point (center screen) of the selected span. This frequency value may be changed by entering the digits, decimal point, followed by the ENTER or MHz key, or the keys can select a digit to increment or decrement using the SPINNER.
  • Page 16 GSP-810 User Manual SPAN This field is the value for the frequency range covered by the GSP-810 as it sweeps its receiver. This span value may be changed by the SPINNER to roll through the list of valid spans. The range of valid entries is 2 kHz / division through 100 MHz / division plus zero span (0 Hz / div).
  • Page 17 GSP-810 User Manual REF LVL This field is the value (on the top of screen) for the received input signal. This reference level value may be changed by the rotating the SPINNER to scroll through the list of valid reference levels.
  • Page 18 GSP-810 User Manual MARKERS The GSP-810 supports 2 markers. To access the marker screen, press the MRK key. Displayed will be 2 marker frequencies. Accessing the marker frequency fields is performed through the left column of numbers. Cursor to the left most position, then use the SPINNER to switch between marker 1 and marker 2.
  • Page 19 SHIFT PK->MKR This is a peak search function. Using marker 1, the GSP-810 begins at the current marker 1 frequency and scans for a peak. When a peak is found in the trace, the marker frequency is updated to show the frequency of the signal and the level of the peak is also displayed.
  • Page 20 GSP-810 User Manual DELTA MARKERS The delta marker function is similar to the marker function. To access the marker screen, press the ΔMKR key. In this function marker 1 is used as the reference marker level and the marker 2 level is level difference between marker 1 and marker 2.
  • Page 21 TRACE The TRACE key provides access to the Peak Hold, Average, and Freeze features of the GSP-810. These items are shown on the bottom half of the LCD display. By scrolling, all three items can be accessed. The Max Hold Function, when enabled, will maintain a trace showing the maximum signal received for each point in the trace.
  • Page 22 Then use the SPINNER to change the number from 1 to 10. While the cursor is on that field, pressing the ENTER key will load the current state of the GSP-810 with the loaded parameters.
  • Page 23 GSP-810 User Manual SETUP SCREEN The setup screen provides access to various parameters. The setup screen functions are accessed by pressing the SHIFT RBW key. The trace will stop updating while in the setup screen. The parameters are accessible using the SPINNER.

  • Page 25 GSP-810 User Manual Operation Next figure shows a typical spectrum display. This example shows the settings for a 100 MHz center frequency, a 1 MHz / division span and a reference level of -10 dBm. The 8 by 10 division display indicates RF level on the vertical or y-axis, and frequency on the horizontal or x-axis.
  • Page 26 GSP-810 User Manual DEMOD (Optional) The GSP-810 can be optionally configured to perform FM and AM demodulation. To access this feature, press the SHIFT DEMOD key. The bottom half of the LCD display will show the current demodulation selection that can be changed with the SPINNER.
  • Page 27 To use the normalize function, connect the equipment to the tracking generator output port and the spectrum analyzer input port. Following a normalize, the GSP-810 will factor out the measured variances. When the Span or Center Frequency fields are changed, the normalize will be reset and should be run again.
  • Page 28 GSP-810 User Manual POWER METER (Optional) To access the power meter in the GSP-810, press the SHIFT PWR MTR. The bottom half of the screen will show the power level in mW or dBm based on the units selected in the setup screen. The range field will allow the user to change the range of 2mW, 20mW, 200mW and 2W (or equivalently 3dBm, 13dBm, 23dBm and 33dBm).
