Page 3: Spectrum Analyzer Mode - Main Screen
Spectrum Analyzer mode - Main Screen Upon start, LATNEX Spectrum Analyzer goes to Spectrum Analyzer mode automatically. The X axis represents frequency in MHZ and Y axis display actual received power in dBm or dBuV (selectable). In this example above, the frequency span goes from 2390 MHz to 2450 MHz (that is a 60MHz range), and the visual amplitude goes from -1 dBm to -110 dBm. - Page 4 Note the frequency axis indicators changes at the bottom. USB refers to Universal Serial Bus, the standard connectivity bus in all modern computers. Our fellow HAM users should not confuse this with Upper Side Band communication, even though uses the same mnemonic. www.latnex.com/spa Toll-free number 1(855)267-2582 www.emrss.com/latnex-analyzers...
