Detector
This field is used to select the type of detector used to measure the amplitude of
the audio signal being analyzed by the Audio Frequency Analyzer.
See "AF Analyzer" in the HP-IB Command Syntax chapter of the HP 8924C
Condensed Programming Reference Guide for programming command syntax.
Detector Types
• RMS displays the RMS value of signals.
• RMS*SQRT2 displays the RMS value of a signal multiplied by
• Pk+ displays the positive peak value.
• Pk− displays the negative peak value.
• Pk±/2 adds the positive and negative peak values, and divides the sum by 2.
• Pk±Max compares the positive and negative peaks and displays the greater value
(polarity is not indicated).
• Pk+ Hold displays and holds the positive peak value until the measurement is reset.
To reset, press the MEAS RESET key, select a different detector, or re-select the same
detector.
• Pk− Hold displays and holds the negative peak value until the measurement is reset.
To reset, press the MEAS RESET key, select a different detector, or re-select the same
detector.
• Pk±/2 Hold divides the sum of the positive and negative peak values by 2, and
displays the value until the measurement is reset. To reset, press the MEAS RESET
key, select a different detector, or re-select the same detector.
• Pk±Mx Hold compares the positive and negative peaks and displays the greater value
until the measurement is reset. To reset, press the MEAS RESET key, select a different
detector, or re-select the same detector.
