The spectrum analyzer provides the following trace modes.
Clear/Write:
In its default state, the spectrum analyzer overwrites the trace ader each sweep. You can apply all
detectors in this mode.
Average:
The trace is the result of the moving average over several sweeps. The spectrum analyzer
calculates the (moving) average of the power levels for each pixel over a parccular number of
sweeps in the range from 1 to 10,000. Averaging reduces the effects of noise but has no effects on
sine signals. Using the trace averaging therefore is an effeccve way to detect signals in the vicinity
of noise.
Max Hold:
The trace shows the maximum power levels that have been measured at each pixel. To overwrite a
max hold trace, change a parameter in a way that the results cannot be compared any more (e.g.
the span). Using the max hold trace mode is an effeccve way to detect intermibent signals or the
maximum values of fluctuacng signals, for example.
Min Hold:
The trace shows the minimum power levels that have been measured at each pixel. To overwrite a
min hold trace, change a parameter in a way that the results cannot be compared any more (e.g.
the span). Using the min hold trace mode is an effeccve way to highlight signals within noise or
suppress intermibent signals.
View:
The view trace mode freezes the current trace and aborts the measurement. Using the view trace
mode is an effeccve way to evaluate the trace, for example with markers.
