4.7.4 Zero Span

Changes the displayed frequency span to zero Hertz. The horizontal axis changes to time
rather than frequency. The input signal that is at the current center frequency is the
displayed amplitude. This is a special operation mode that changes several measurement
functions/couplings. The instrument behavior is similar to an oscilloscope with a frequency
selective detector installed in front of the oscilloscope. See Application Note 150 for more
information on how to use this mode.
