Identify signals with the frequency-shift method
6. Signal-identification routines that identify the signal and images are available on
instruments with firmware revisions 920528, or with Option 008. The frequency-shift
method of identifying valid signals uses the spectrum-analyzer function
When using this function, smaller spans will yield more accurate measurements.
