  • Page 8: Functional Description

    Functional Description Functional Description Detailed description of the fields Start Center Stop These 3 values characterize the frequency sweep for the span selected: frequencies  Start indicates the span's start frequency  Center indicates the span's center frequency  Stop indicates the span's stop frequency When one of the 3 frequencies is changed, the other 2 are automatically recalculated on the basis of the span.
  • Page 9 Functional Description Functional Description (contd.)  Example The span is 100MHz with:  Start at 200 MHz  Center at 250 MHz  Stop at 300 MHz If the span changes to 50 MHz, there are 3 possibilities, depending on the last frequency modified: If the last frequency Then …...

  • Page 11: Menus

    Menus Menus File Open Span … opens a *.spn file. The recorded spectrum is displayed in a different color on the graph and the analyzer is restored to the same configuration as that of the recorded spectrum. The 2 spectrums can then easily be compared one above the other. The name of the open file is displayed in the title bar.

  • Page 12: Setup

    Menus Menus (contd.) Setup Run / Stop This submenu serves the same purpose as the button on the front panel. It freezes or reinitializes the spectrums. Detector selects the type of measurement: Peak or Quasi-Peak (Q-Peak). The Peak detector is used by default. The Q-Peak detector is reserved for EMC measurements where the rate is 1 measurement/second.
  • Page 13 Menus Menus (contd.) Averaging activates averaging of the spectrum's values. The possible coefficients are: x 2, x 4, x 8, x 16, x 32, x 64. The average is calculated after each new acquisition. It is calculated as follows: Average = Previous average x (n-1) / n + new acquisition / n "n"...
