Front-Panel Features
4 FREQUENCY Channel, SPAN X Scale, and AMPLITUDE Y
Scale are the three large keys that activate the primary
analyzer functions and access menus of related
functions. The secondary labels on these keys (Channel,
X Scale, and Y Scale) are used in some measurements.
5 CONTROL functions access menus that allow you to
adjust the resolution bandwidth, adjust the sweep time,
and control the instrument display. They also set other
analyzer parameters needed for making
measurements.
6 MEASURE accesses a menu of keys that automate some
common analyzer measurements. Once a measurement
is running,
Meas Setup accesses additional menu keys
for defining your measurement.
Meas Control and
Restart access additional measurement control
functions.
7 SYSTEM functions affect the state of the entire
spectrum analyzer.
Various setup and alignment routines are accessed
with the
System key.
The green
Preset key resets the analyzer to a known
state.
The File key menu allows you to save and load traces,
states, limit-line tables, and amplitude correction
factors to or from analyzer memory or the floppy disk
drive. The
Save key immediately executes the Save Now
function defined under File in Chapter 6 ,“Front-Panel
Key Reference.”
The Print Setup menu keys allow you to configure
hardcopy outputs. The
Print key immediately sends
hardcopy data to the printer. See Chapter 6 for more
details.
8 MARKER functions control the markers, read out
frequencies and amplitudes along the analyzer trace,
automatically locate the signals of highest amplitude,
and access functions like
Marker Noise and Band Power.
9 The Media Door on the right side of the front panel
accesses the 3.5 inch disk drive and the Earphone
connector. The earphone connector provides a
connection for an earphone jack which bypasses the
internal speaker.
