    6.EMI Measurement mode Sets the status of preamplifier located at the front of the RF signal path. Turning on the preamplifier reduces the displayed average noise level in order to distinguish small signals from the noise when working with small signals. When the preamplifier enable, the PA appears in the left status area of the screen.
