SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT

You can find the Serial Number on the upper side panel of the instrument.

The Serial Number is in the form: 000XY00000.

The first three digits and the two letters are the Serial Number prefix, the last five

digits are the Serial Number suffix. The prefix is the same for identical instruments,

it changes only when a configuration change is made to the instrument.

The suffix is different for each instrument

4.4 Spectrum section field. The Spectrum section includes the following: Span: select one of the 4 available spans, keeping in mind that the HP-01 minimum operating frequency is DC and maximum stop frequency is about equal to the span itself.
Page 34: Span Selection
A second marker can be also enabled. In this way the two values are shown (Marker 1 and Marker 2) and also the difference between them (Delta Markers) is displayed. The desired Span can be selected among four choices available, as depicted below.
Page 35: Waterfall Screen
In addition to the spectrum view, another representation has been 4.5 Waterfall introduced in the software, commonly called Waterfall. The advantage of this view is that the disturbances are shown with different colours depending on their strength. This helps evaluate level variations over time and to easily investigate sporadic signals.
Page 36 In the Graph 2D, the horizontal axis represents Frequency, the vertical axis is the Time and the colour is the Level. The signal amplitude is represented in a scale of arbitrary colours, usually the darker the lower and the brighter the higher, like in thermography. The Color Scale referenced to levels and units, is indicated on the left bar on the screen.
Page 37: Export Tool
Fig.4-24 Export tool The Export tool allows the User to save the screen snapshot. In the Graph 3D, one axis (horizontal) represents Frequency, another the Level (vertical) and the third the Time (depth). For this mode, the marker can be placed by a left click of the mouse over any point of the signals, while the graph aspect can be changed as desired by clicking the right button and dragging the mouse in a simple and intuitive way.
