Option 215 Limitations

Frequency Bands

The PSA Series spectrum analyzers have up to six frequency bands
depending on the maximum frequency capability of the model. These
frequency bands are shown in the table below.
Option 215 cannot sweep across PSA frequency band boundaries. Any
frequency sweep required for a measurement must be kept entirely
within one of these bands. One way to work around this limitation is to
write an external control program to break the measurement down into
two or more sweeps, each of which is confined to the bands listed below.
