adjust the sweep time, store and manipulate trace data, and control the instrument
display.
MARKER functions control the markers, read out frequencies and amplitudes along the
9
spectrum-analyzer trace, automatically locate the signals of highest amplitude, and keep
a signal at the marker position in the center of the screen.
10 WINDOWS keys, turn on the windows display mode. They allow switching between
windows and control the zone span and location. Fbr the HP 859ZE, HP 8593E,
HP 8594E, HP 8595E, and HP 85963 only.
HOLD key. Fbr the HP 859OL, HP 8592L, and HP 8594L only. [HOLD] deactivates an

for an Option 001 spectrum analyzer.)
Caution
Excessive signal input will damage the spectrum analyzer input attenuator and
input mixer. Use extreme caution when using the spectrum analyzer around
high-power RF sources and transmitters. The maximum input power that the
spectrum analyzer can tolerate appears on the front panel and should not be
exceeded.
Excessive dc voltage can also damage the input attenuator. For your particular
instrument, note the maximum de voltage that should not be exceeded on the
spectrum analyzer front panel (beneath the INPUT 5OQ connector).
13 PROBE PWR provides power for high-impedance ac probes or other accessories.
14 CAL OUT provides a calibration signal of 300 MHz at -20 dBm (29 dBmV for Option 001
or 011).
15 VOL-INTEN or INTENSITY. For the HP 85913, HP 8593E, HP 85943, HP 85953, or
HP 8596E only. The VOL-INTEN knob changes the brightness of the display. If Option
102, 103, or 110 is installed, it can also adjust the volume of the internal speaker. If it
adjusts both, the inside part of the knob adjusts the intensity while the outside part
adjusts the volume.
The INTENSITY knob changes the brightness of the display. For the HP 859OL,
HP 8592L, and HP 8594L only.
