Max Mixer Lvl
Allows you to change the maximum input mixer level from 10 dBm to 
−
100 dBm in 10 dB steps using the step keys, and 1 dB steps using the 
knob. In addition, you may use the keypad to specify a value. The mixer 
level is equal to the reference level minus the attenuator setting. As the 
reference level changes, the input attenuator setting is changed to keep 
the power levels of on-screen signals less than the selected level at the 
input mixer. When 
Preset Type is set to Factory, pressing Preset resets 
the maximum input mixer level to 
−
10 dBm.

IF Gain 
Auto Fixed
When using digital resolution bandwidths (RBW < 1 kHz), the analyzer 
uses IF Gain autoranging to set the optimum signal gain for digital 
processing. This technique produces the maximum measurement range 
without overloading the digital system. To increase measurement 
speed, select 
IF Gain (Fixed). This setting decreases the display range to 
70 dB, so you may have to adjust the reference level to ensure complete 
view of the signal.
