WEIGHTNG √ COS OFF Turns on or off the function that does
root-raised-cosine weighting of the spectrum data for
an ACP measurement. This weighting simulates the
filtering expected in the radio receiver to be used.

MEAS/USER
The root-raised-cosine weighting function is described
by the following equations:
The resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer is
of a finite width. Therefore, we compensate slightly for
α and for the threshold of the zero response:
ZERO SPAN Sets the span to 0 Hz. This effectively allows an
amplitude versus time mode in which to view signals.
This is especially useful for viewing modulation.
