Trace/View
Accesses the trace keys that allow you to store and manipulate trace
information. Each trace is comprised of a series of data points in which
amplitude information is stored. The analyzer updates the information
for any active trace with each sweep.
NOTE If you have selected Channel Power, ACP, Harmonic Distortion, Burst
Power
, Power Stat CCDF, or Spectrum Emission Mask in the MEASURE
menu, refer to the Trace/View sections specific to those measurements.
Trace 1 2 3 Selects the menu keys used for trace 1, trace 2, or trace 3 functions.
Press
Trace 1 2 3 until the number of the desired trace is underlined.

Trace/View
CAUTION When using normalization, the mode of traces 2 and 3 should not be
changed.
Clear Write Erases any data previously stored in the selected trace and
continuously displays any signals during the sweep of the analyzer.
This function is activated for trace 1 at power-on and by pressing
Preset.

Max Hold
Maintains the maximum level for each trace point of the selected trace
(1, 2 or 3), and updates each trace point if a new maximum level is
detected in successive sweeps.
Key Access:

NOTE Changing the vertical scale (Amplitude, Scale Type, Log or Lin), pressing
Restart, turning averaging on (BW/Avg, Average (On)), or switching
window in Zone Span (Span, Zone) restarts the held trace.
Min Hold Maintains the minimum level for each trace point of the selected trace
(1, 2 or 3), and updates each trace point if a new minimum level is
detected in successive sweeps.
