Interrupt: If no instrument setting is to be saved the SAVE setting
will automatically be deactivated after 3 sec.
(8) A B:
Allows for temporary storage of settings from memory A to
memory B for comparison purposes. Push short to store the actual
contents of A in B. The instrument will automatically display stored
B memory. To get back to the actual signal, push „A/B/A-B" two
times. If pushed one time, „A B" will be displayed.
Memory contents of B will be deleted when power is turned off.
(9) Max.HLD. (Maximum Hold)
This function allows the automatic storage of maximum signal
level readings of the instrument. The display of the measurement
results will only be updated if the measured value exceeds
previously gathered values. Any smaller as previously recorded
measurements will not be displayed. This function therefore
accurately records maximum signal values of pulsating RF signals.
Therefore, prior to taking measurement readings it should be made
sure that measurement result display has been maximized.
Remark:
Pulsating signals should be recorded in lowest-possible SPAN,
highest-possible Bandwidth and with video filter turned off in order
to prevent transient response errors of the filters. If settings of
span and RBW are set in certain ways, something can be gained
by the slower sweep speed, active in some settings.
Pull-up: Push Max. HLD. The respective LED will light to show
function is activated.
Remark:
To erase display of a measurement (Max.HLD), function Max.HLD
has to be terminated and re-activated to be used again. Switching
to AVERAGE directly will not affect the memory contents of Max.
HLD.
Interrupt: Push Max.HLD. Respective LED will turn off and
indicate interruption of Max.HLD function.
(10) AVERAGE
This function allows the automatic storage of average signal level
readings of the instrument. Using the AVERAGE function the
displayed noise band can be reduced. Thus, signals that would
