Trace/View
Max/Min
On Off
Used to distinguish broadband signals from CW signals. The Max/Min
function is valuable when the span is equal to or smaller than 400 times
the resolution bandwidth.
When going from the Off to the On state, the detectors alternate
between Peak and Sample for each sweep and place trace 2 into
Max Hold and trace 3 into Min Hold. Trace 1 goes into clear write. Use
Max/Min View to analyze the results. When going from the On to the
Off state, trace 2 and trace 3 are blanked and trace 1 is put into clear
write with the detector set to peak.

Max/Min View Accesses the following submenus. Max/Min View also places both trace
2 and trace 3 in view mode, sets the detector to peak and turns on the
marker (if it isnāt already on). Trace 1 is blanked.

Max & Min
Places both trace 2 and trace 3 into view mode. If a
signal in trace 2 (Max) has a larger amplitude than the
trace 3 signal at the same amplitude, the signal has
some broadband content. The wider the difference
between the two amplitude levels, the more broadband
content there is in the trace 2 signal. If the amplitudes
of a signal in both traces are approximately the same,
that signal is a narrowband (CW) signal.
