Channel detection threshold

On the trace, some peaks corresponding to noise could be mistaken for channels. It is
therefore necessary to fix a power threshold level: only peaks that exceed this threshold
will be considered as channels and included in the table of results.
To display or modify this threshold, press the S

Display of a grid

The display window of the trace can include a grid to facilitate verification of the position

Display of total power between cursors

To display on the trace the total power between the two cursors A and B:
1 Place the cursors at the desired positions.
2 Press the
The space between the trace and the two cursors is greyed out and the power is
displayed in the form "P=-4.95dBm".
1.The "Auto" value is obtained by continuing to reduce the value of the threshold
below the minimum value of -79.9 dBm
