2.3 BW/Avg

Activates the resolution bandwidth function, and displays the menu keys that control both
the bandwidth and averaging functions.

2.3.1 Res BW

Enables you to select the 3.01 dB resolution bandwidth (RBW) of the analyzer in 10% steps
from 1 Hz to 3 MHz, plus bandwidths of 4, 5, 6, or 8 MHz.
If an unavailable bandwidth is entered with the numeric keypad, the closest available
bandwidth is selected.
Sweep time is coupled to RBW. As the RBW changes, the sweep time (if set to

Video bandwidth (VBW) is coupled to RBW. As the resolution bandwidth changes, the
