Description of Behavior
Temperature
~64°C
Duty cycling is enabled when the internal average temperature of the
FieldFox reaches the duty cycling threshold of ~64°C. Power is turned
off between sweeps and delaying occurs for the next sweep.
In RTSA mode power is only turned off in Single Sweep or Hold. This
enables you to control your instrument's temperature when you don't
need to make a measurement by using the "Run/Hold" hardkey to
pause the sweep.
All applications (including RTSA): Display dims to 40% at ~64°C.
~75°C
When temperature reaches the maximum protection threshold
(~75°C) some applications take additional measures.
