Normalize
copies trace A into trace B, subtracts trace B from
trace A and adds the result to the normalized reference
level. The result is displayed in trace A. The trace data
is normalized with respect to the normalized reference
level, even if the value of the normalized reference level
is changed. This function remains in effect on all
subsequent sweeps until it is turned off. A minus sign
(-) appears between the trace A status and the trace B
status in the display annotation while the function is
active. To turn off the normalize function, press
Normalize On Off
The normalize function is most useful for applying
correction data to a trace while making a stimulus
response measurement with a tracking generator. For
example, connect the cables and a thru line, in place of
the device to be measured, between a tracking
generator and the spectrum analyzer input. Notice that
the frequency response is not perfectly flat, showing the
response of the cables, as well as the flatness of both
the tracking generator and the spectrum analyzer.

now flat, or normalized. The position of the normalized
trace can now be moved to a different position on the
display by changing the normalized reference position.
