What Is a 'Peak'

You define what the FieldFox considers a "peak" by setting the Peak Threshold
and Peak Excursion.
These two peak criteria settings are set individually for each trace and for each
mode (CAT, SA, or NA).
These settings do NOT survive a FieldFox or Mode Preset.
NOTE The Peak Threshold and Excursion settings are NOT available in DTF
measurements. To make these settings, create a non-DTF CAT mode
measurement, then change the measurement back to DTF.
How to set Peak Criteria
 Press Mrk ->/Tools.
 In CAT and NA modes:
 In SA mode:
 Then
 Then select the following:
156
Peak
Moves the active marker to the HIGHEST amplitude data point of the
trace. Peak Excursion value is ignored. In SA Mode, the LO feed-through signal
(0 Hz) is also ignored.
Next Peak
Moves the active marker to the next highest amplitude peak from
where it currently resides.
Peak Left
Moves the active marker to the next data point to the left that meets
the 'Peak' criteria. When no data points to the left meet the 'Peak' criteria, the
marker does not move.
Peak Right
Moves the active marker to the next data point to the right that
meets the 'Peak' criteria. When no data points to the right meet the 'Peak'
criteria, the marker does not move.

Peak Threshold
Minimum amplitude (dB). To be considered valid, the peak
o
must be above the threshold level. The valley on either side can be below the
threshold level. Default = –190 for CAT and NA Modes; –90 for SA Mode.
