Key points: When Signal Track is on, the ST icon is shown at the left of screen. If an active marker exsits, when Signal Track is on, the analyzer will search and mark the point (with no more than 3dB variation in amplitude) near the marker, set the frequency of this point as center frequency and hold the signal at the center of screen. - Page 19 4.2. Full Span Set the span of analyzer to be maximum. 4.3. Zero Span Set the span of analyzer to be 0Hz.

4.15. Max Mix Level Set max input level of mixer according to the manaitude of signal. Key points: For bigger input signal, select small max mixing level in order to increase input attenuation and reduce distortion. For smaller input signal, select big max mixing level in order to reduce input attenuation and distortion. - Page 25 5.2. VBW Set the VBW (Video Bandwidth) in order to remove the band noise. Key points: Reducing the VBW to smooth spectrum line and differentiate small signal from the noise, but also will cause the longer sweep (In Auto Sweep mode, sweep time will be affected both by RBW and VBW).
- Page 26 5.4. Detector Set the detector type of analyzer for different signal measurement. 5.4.1.
