Through these parameters, signals under measurement can be displayed at an optimal view with minimum error. The pop out amplitude menu includes [Ref Level], [Attenuation Auto Manual], [Scale/Div], [Scale Type Lin Log], [Ref Offset], [Ref Unit], and [Preamplifier On Off].
Page 34
5.Menu Interpretation 5.3.2 [Attenuation Auto Man] Sets the front attenuator of the RF input in order to permit big signals (or small signals) to pass from the mixer with low distortion (or low noise). It only works under internal mixer mode to adjust input attenuator insider analyzer.
Page 35

It continuously receive scan data and select negative peak value detect mode.
5.Menu Interpretation Exchange the trace stock 2 data with trace stock 3 and place them in display mode. 5.7 【Detector】 While displaying a wider span, each pixel contains spectrum information associated with a larger subrange. That is, several samples may fall on one pixel. Which of the samples will be represented by the pixel depends on the selected detector type.
Page 41
5.Menu Interpretation RMS Avg RMS Average detector averages rms levels to calculate the true average power. It is best for measuring the power of complex signals. Voltage Avg Voltage Average detector averages the linear voltage data of the envelope signal measured during the bucket interval.
5.Menu Interpretation 5.7.7 [Quasi-Peak] Set the detector to the Quasi-Peak detector mode. This mode is available when EMI filter is turned on. The quasi-peak detector is a peak detector that is weighted by the duration and repetition rate of the signal, as specified by the CISPR 16-1-1 standard. Quasi-peak detection is characterized by a fast charge time and slow decay time.
5.Menu Interpretation 5.8.5 [Grid On Off] It’s the grid lines displaying and hiding menu. When the grid display line is on, pressing [Grid On Off] again will turn it off. 5.8.6 [Label On Off] Defines the content displayed or hidden in the comments that appear in the display grid area.
5.Menu Interpretation points of the current trace. Key Points: Changing the points may influence the sweep time which is limited by the sample rate of the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter). That is, the more points used, the longer the sweep will be.
Page 45
5.Menu Interpretation 5.11.1 [Source Gen CW TG] Select source as CW (Continuous Wave) or TG (Tracking Generator). CW: Output independent continuous wave signal. TG: RF output and spectrum reception are fully synchronized on the frequency sweep, and the tracking source frequency can not be set individually.
5.Menu Interpretation and spectrum measurement is fully synchronized, can be used as a scalar network analyzer. When the network measurement function is "on", the measurement results show relative values after "normalized", expressed in "dB". When the network measurement function is "off", the measurement shows the spectrum measurement result, expressed in "dBm".

5.Menu Interpretation 5.13.5 [Min Search] Searches the peak with the minimum amplitude on the trace and identifies it with a marker. 5.13.6 [Mkr→CF] Used to move the peak point to the center frequency point. 5.13.7 [Cont Max On Off] Set the peak search form, off by default. On mode will automatically search for the peak.
Page 50
5.Menu Interpretation single frequency scale. Amplitude and frequency information can be obtained from the frequency scale (time information when the sweep width is 0Hz), and these values are displayed in the upper right corner of the active function area and the screen. You can use the numeric keys, the step key, or the knob to move the active frequency scale.
Page 51
5.Menu Interpretation pair of markers appears on the trace, which are the Reference Marker and the Delta Marker. Will be in the active area and the display area of the upper right corner, showing the amplitude delta value between the two markers and frequency difference. If a single marker already exists, [Delta] will place a static marker and an active marker to the original position and a single marker position.
5.Menu Interpretation 5.14.6 [All Off] Turns off all the opened markers and the related functions. The marker won’t show again. 5.14.7 [Marker Table On Off] Turns on or off the display of all marker table. 5.15 【Marker→】 A soft menu associated with the marker function is popped out for setting the other system parameters (such as Center frequency, Reference level) by current marker readings.
Page 53
5.Menu Interpretation 5.15.3 [ Mkr->Start ] Sets the start frequency of the analyzer based on the frequency of the current marker. If Normal is selected, the start frequency will be set to the frequency of the current marker.
