AMPLITUDE Y Scale
Scale Type 
Log Lin
Scales the vertical graticule divisions in logarithmic units when Log is 
underlined. Logarithmic units may range from 0.1 to 20 dB per 
division. When 
Lin is underlined, the vertical divisions are linearly 
scaled and the default amplitude units are volts. The top of the display 
is set to the reference-level value and the bottom graticule becomes zero 
volts. (Each division of the graticule is one-tenth of the reference level 
in volts.) Pressing 
Scale Type always sets the units specified for the 
current amplitude scale. When 
Power On is set to Preset and Preset Type 
is set to 
Factory, pressing Preset or powering on the analyzer sets the 
default units.

Presel Center
Agilent E4404B, E4405B, E4407B and E4408B only. Adjusts the 
frequency of the preselector filter (above 2.85 GHz) to optimize the 
amplitude accuracy at the active marker frequency. With 
Input Mixer 
(Ext) selected and the Mixer Type set to Presel (preselected), Presel 
Center
 adjusts the frequency of the external preselector filter to 
maximize the amplitude at the active marker frequency. If activated in 
a non-preselected band, 
Presel Center does nothing. 
Preselector center should be used to improve amplitude accuracy for 
signals which fall into any one of the harmonic mixing bands. The 
harmonic mixing bands Frequency Ranges are:

AMPLITUDE / Y Scale
Presel Adjust
Agilent E4404B, E4405B, E4407B and E4408B only. Allows manual 
adjustment of the preselector frequency to optimize its response on the 
signal of interest. 
By changing the 
Presel Adjust, the center of the preselector filter can be 
moved in frequency. The signal of interest will appear to change in 
amplitude with the frequency response of the preselector filter.

Y Axis Units
Accesses the menu keys that change the amplitude units. Amplitude 
units are maintained for both logarithmic and linear modes. The 
amplitude units can be changed by pressing 
dBm, dBmV, dBµV, dBµA, 
Watts
, Volts, and Amps. This key is unavailable when FM Demod and 
Demod View are on.
