firmware revisions ≤920528, or with Option 008. The frequency-shift method of identifying valid
signals uses the spectrum-analyzer function

Any signal not produced by the currently selected harmonic will be shifted horizontally on alternate
sweeps (see
Figure
2-12). Therefore, when viewing the display, on alternate sweeps the signal will
appear, then not appear, at the frequency of interest. The correct signal produced by the selected
harmonic will be shifted in a vertical direction only, as shown in
