Optimize
When using the default settings, the spectrum analyzer optimizes measurement accuracy
at the expense of dynamic range. There may be times, however, when you prefer to gain
dynamic range and lose some accuracy. For example, you may be making a measurement
where you want to see a relatively large dynamic range, and your results will not be
impaired significantly by 1 to 2 dB less accuracy. Optimizing for dynamic range gains you
approximately 30 dB of dynamic range.
