FREQUENCY Channel
Freq Offset Allows you to input a frequency offset value that is added to the 
frequency readout of the marker, to account for frequency conversions 
external to the analyzer. Offset entries are added to all frequency 
readouts including marker, start frequency, and stop frequency. Offsets 
may only be entered using the numeric keypad. Offsets are not added to 
the span or frequency count readouts. Entering an offset does not affect 
the trace display. When a frequency offset is entered, its value appears 
on the bottom of the display. To eliminate an offset, perform a
 Factory 
Preset, or press Freq Offset, 0, Hz.
When a frequency offset is entered, its value appears on the bottom of 
the display (as opposed to reference level offsets, which appear on the 
left side of the display). To eliminate an offset, press 
Freq Offset, 0, and 
Enter. Pressing Preset also sets the offset to zero. 
NOTE This function is not available when FREQUENCY, Scale Type (Log) is 
selected.
NOTE Frequency, Scale Type (Log) is not available when utilizing the frequency 
offset function.

Signal Track 
On Off
Moves the signal that is nearest to the active marker to the center of 
the display and keeps the signal there. ST appears in the lower-left 
corner of the display. An (*) may appear in the upper-right corner of the 
display while the analyzer is verifying that it has the correct signal. 
Pressing 
Signal Track (Off); Preset (with Preset Type set to Factory); or 
Marker, More, Marker All Off turns off the signal track function. 
When signal track is on and the span is reduced, an automatic zoom is 
performed and the span is reduced in steps so that the signal remains 
at the center of the display. If the span is zero, signal track cannot be 
activated.
