On Off
  Zone (On) allows you to change from a one-window to a 
two-window display. The top window will display the 
trace with two vertical lines (Zone Markers) displayed 
at center frequency plus and minus 5% of the current 
span. (You can change the default zone frequency and 
zone span values using the 
Zone Center and Zone Span 
keys.) The top window will be inactive. 
The bottom window will display the section of the trace 
in the top window that is between the Zone Markers. 
The span of the bottom window is 10% of the span of 
the top window. (You can change the default zone 
frequency and zone span values using the 
Zone Center 
and 
Zone Span keys.) When first activated, both 
windows have the same center frequency. The bottom 
window is active and the sweep time, resolution 
bandwidth, and video bandwidth have been coupled to 
the bottom window span. 
There are separate annotations for frequency, 
bandwidth, sweep time, reference level, amplitude scale 
and scale/div for each window. The values for these 
parameters can be changed for each window 
independently.
To activate the top window, press the 
Next Window key 
located below the display. The active window is 
distinguished by a green border. Only the active 
window will have a sweep taken and updated to the 
display. When the active window is toggled, the state 
for the active window is saved, and the last state of the 
inactive window is recalled. When the window becomes 
inactive, its data invalid indicator will appear on the 
display. The data invalid indicator will remain until the 
window becomes the active window and a complete 
sweep has been executed. Pressing 
Zoom will change to 
a one-window display showing only the active window. 
Pressing 
Zoom again will return you to the two-window 
display. Pressing 
Zone (Off) will return you to a 
one-window display of the active window.
