Auto Couple
Auto Couple
Accesses the menus to couple functions in your analyzer. Coupled 
functions are functions that are linked.
Auto All Auto-couples all coupled functions. If Auto All is pressed all coupled 
functions are set to 
Auto. 
NOTE This function is not available when the segmented sweep function is set 
to On, (Segmented (On)).
Coupled functions are functions that are linked. If one function is 
changed, the coupled function is changed. During normal operation, the 
sweep time, resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, and center 
frequency step are coupled to span; the input attenuation is coupled to 
the reference level. 
If any of these functions become uncoupled (is set to manual), a # sign 
appears next to the screen annotation representing the function on the 
screen. If one or more functions are manually set so that the amplitude 
or frequency becomes uncalibrated “Meas Uncal” appears on the top 
right side of the graticule.
To recouple the analyzer functions, the uncoupled function(s) must be 
individually set back to Auto. Or, you can press 
Auto All to return all of 
the functions to their default auto state. Pressing 
Auto All will couple 
the following functions:
• Sweep time will couple to the span, resolution bandwidth, and video 
bandwidth.
•
Detector (Auto) is set.
•
Avg Type (Auto) is set. 
•
PHNoise Opt (Auto) is set. 
• RF attenuation couples to reference level. 
• Center frequency step size will couple to 10% of span.
• Sweep coupling (SR/SA) will couple back to SA mode.
• Source attenuation couples to source amplitude.
• Source power step couples to one vertical scale division.

NOTE Although Marker Count, Gate Time, and Marker Trace have Auto settings, 
they are not affected by Auto All.
