a. The highest allowed mixer level depends on the attenuation and IF Gain. It is nominally 10 dBm +
input attenuation for Preamp Off and IF Gain = Low.
b. Noise will limit trigger level range at high frequencies, such as above 13 GHz.

Highest allowed mixer level
Triggers on the signal before detection, which is
similar to the displayed signal
Triggers on the signal before detection, but with a
single-pole filter added to give similar smoothing
to that of the average detector
Triggers on the signal envelop in a bandwidth
wider than the FFT width
50 to 10 dBm plus attenuation (nominal)
2 dB + Absolute Amplitude Accuracy (nominal)
18 MHz (nominal)
If the start or center frequency is too close to zero,
LO feedthrough can degrade or prevent triggering.
How close is too close depends on the bandwidth.
