Page 161: Spectrogram
The “Density” view provides a good understanding of the frequency band and signals.Since the measurements are gap free and all signal samples are represented in the display, it is possible to see most of the signals in the band at a glance or over a short measurement time.Individual display updates combine thousands of spectra and shows the signal dynamics and unexpected behavior.

signal amplitude. The information area in the upper left corner of the “Spectrogram” display shows the real-time of the latest spectral data (relative to the start measurement), the total number of generated waveform frames, and the waveform display range. In the "paused" state, the user can observe the historical trace by moving display trace (D1, D2), or the historical range of the waveform data displayed in the waveform area by view start and view end.
Page 163: Pvt
The top view is spectrum which is shown as amplitude vs. frequency, and the bottom view si spectrogram which is mentioned above. The display trace (D1, D2) specified in the spectrogram is shown as amplitude vs. frequency in the spectrum. The traces in the spectrum view will refresh when modifying the positions on the y-axis of display trace (D1, D2) in the spectrogram, and when the frequency of the maker in the spectrum view is modified, the maker in the spectrogram will also move on the x-axis.
Page 164 Average | Hold Times 4.8.5.1 Average|Hold Times N, which is the counter when the trace type in Density view is "Average", "Max Hold" and "Min Hold". In a single measurement (Single), and any valid trace type is "average", "max hold" or "min hold", the sweep stops when the counter reaches N. Larger average | hold times can reduce the influence of noise or other random signals, thereby highlighting stable signal characteristics in the signal.

Page 190: Trigger
Command Format ABORt Instruction This command is used to stop the current measurement. It aborts the currentmeasurement as quickly as possible, resets the sweep and trigger systems, and puts the measurement into an "idle" state. If the analyzer is set for Continuous measurement, it sets up the measurement and initiates a new data measurement sequence with a new data acquisition (sweep) taken once the trigger condition is met.
Page 191: Trigger Level
When Periodic is selected, the analyzer uses the built-in period timer signal as a trigger. The trigger event is set by the period timer parameter, which is modified by the offset and periodic sync Src. Use this trigger when there is a periodic signal but no reliable signal to trigger. You can synchronize the periodic signal to an external event (using the periodic sync Src) to get closer to a reliable trigger signal.

Page 235: Scpi Overview
9 SCPI Overview Command Format SCPI commands present a hierarchical tree structure containing multiple subsystems, each of the subsystems is made up of a root keyword and several subkeywords. The command string usually starts with “:”, the keywords are separated by “:” and the followed parameter settings are separated by space.
Page 236: Parameter Type
Vertical Bar | The vertical bar is used to separate multiple parameters and when sending the command, you can choose one of the parameters. For example, In the “[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer:STEP:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1” command, the parameters available are “OFF”, “ON”, “0” or “1”. Braces { } The parameters in the braces are optional which can be ignored or set for one or more times.
Page 237: Command Abbreviation
[:SENSe]:DEMod:VOLume <value> The parameter < value > can be set to any integer between 0 and 10. Float The parameter could be any value within the effective value range according to the accuracy requirement (the default accuracy contains up to 9 digits after the decimal points). For example: :CALCulate:BANDwidth:NDB <value>...
Page 238: Ieee Common Commands
FPGA number and CPLD number. Menu None Example *IDN? Return: Siglent,SVA1015,1234567890,100.01.01.06.01 Command Format *RST Instruction This command presets the instrument to a factory defined condition that is appropriate for remote programming operation.
Page 239 Command Format *ESE <number> *ESE? Instruction Set the bits in the standard event status enable register. This register monitors I/O errors and synchronization conditions such as operation complete, request control, query error, device dependent error, execution error, command error and power on. A summary bit is generated on execution of the command. The query returns the state of the standard event status enable register.
Page 240 Command Format *STB? Instruction This query is used by some instruments for a self test. Menu None Example *STB? Command Format *WAI Instruction This command causes the instrument to wait until all pending commands are completed before executing any additional commands. There is no query form to the command.
